A/N: This is... yeah. I was having trouble writing a different fic so I threw this together just to try something else. It's just a scene.

Rawr

"Rawr!" She shouted happily and bounded across the room in a flash of pink ribbons and pig tails. "RAWR!"

"Why is there a kid here?" M-21 held up his hand to keep the child from approaching. "What does it want?"

"It's Yuna's second cousin. She wants you to roar back." Tao shouted from down the hall and quickly appeared with a brown toy dog. "This is the only toy I could find in the house. Try it. It's fun."

"I'm not good with kids."

"When have you ever seen one?" Tao held up the puppy and made roaring noises as he chased her around the living room. She ran from him in a fit of giggles. "I've never been around anyone so small, but I can handle a two year old."

"Yeah? I at least know puppies don't roar."

"Ah, right." Tao held out the dog. "Bark! GROWL!"

"Stop it!" She swapped at the puppy's head.

"What did I do?" He dropped the toy and glared at M-21. "You made me scare her!"

"Stop yelling. You're going to scare her more."

"Come here, Jin Ae!" Tao smiled and held his arms open wide. "Don't listen to that scary ajussi. You love your oppa, right?"

"No!"

"Just give her back to Yuna."

"She's outside helping her cousin with an emergency. I said we'd watch the kid for a couple minutes, and everyone else left instead of helping me."

"Yeah? Well I got to go, too. Have fun with the kid." M-21 pulled on his coat. "And take her shoes off in the house. Frankenstein will kill you if he finds scuff marks on his floor."

"Uncle Franky wouldn't do that, would he, Jin? No. Now come to your oppa!"

"Why are you talking like that?"

"That's how you talk to kids."

"Well, 'Uncle Franky' would kill you if he heard you call him that."

"Stop talking about death in front of the kid. You're scaring her." Tao wrangled the girl into his arms as she tried to shove him away.

"You're the one that scared her." M-21 slipped on his shoes.

"You're going outside, right? Give this to Yuna for me." Tao tossed him a diaper bag then dropped the girl at his feet before running from the room.

"Hey! Don't just dump the kid on me!"

"Thanks, M-21!"

M-21 hoisted the bag on his shoulder and pulled open the front door. "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

She bolted through the door, across the yard, and into the street.

"Hey, come back here." He dropped the bag when she didn't obey and ran after her. "I said stop!"

"Jin Ae!" Yuna scooped her into her arms and turned back to M-21. "You have to hold her hand if you're not going to carry her. She could have gotten hurt."

"I… I didn't know."
