B's P.O.V
I hummed to myself happily as I started towards L's hotel, Watari had asked me to deliver some case files and cakes to L and I had been more than happy to do so, I was excited to see Tala again as it had been 4 years since our last meeting and I was looking forward to seeing how much she had changed, I smirked to himself running over the plan in my head, it would take time to for fill but it would be worth it in the end. I would take the time she wasn't at whammy's to become close to the young girl and then when she did I would steal her away from L and L would lose what was most precious to him just as he had stolen A away from me.
I looked up and noticed I was now outside the hotel, I walked through the spinning doors and stepped into the elevator, I pressed the button for the 4th floor and waited patiently, or as patiently as I could, I fidgeted until the elevator dinged and then quickly rushed out and towards L's door knocking loudly. The door opened revealing a tired looking L who without any hassle let me into the room, I sat on one of the chairs opposite L and handed him the case files "these are from Roger and these-" I said handing over the files and lifting a bag "-are from Watari" I finished handing L the bag of candy and various sweets and deserts. L took them with a nod "thank you B" he replied in monotone, I rolled my eyes uncaringly and looked around just as a door opened, a poufy black head popped out and in walked Tala, she took a seat next to me and I grinned "you've grown" I stated looking Tala up and down and noting that she still carried the stuffed panda but this time instead of her usual clothes she wore black panda print pyjamas, she smiled at him sweetly "so have you, B is much taller now" she said reaching a small hand out to touch my hair, I stuck my tongue out at the young girl before reaching into my pocket "ah, I got something for you" I said pulling out several packs of different flavoured Pocky's, Tala smiled happily taking them and hugging me "thanks B" she said as she ripped open a pack and started munching pausing occasionally to offer Maiko a bite, I noticed L watching the whole exchange between myself and his daughter so I turned and grinned at L "what you didn't think I could leave her out did you?" I replied faking sweetness, L eyed me warily before shaking his head "I guess not" he muttered "mind if I stay a while L, the kids at whammy's are much too annoying" I stated slowly, L looked slightly annoyed and opened his mouth most likely to reject the idea "yeah daddy can B stay here and play?" she asked sweetly smiling at her father, I grinned ruffling her hair and then looking at L who seemed to grumble under his breath "I suppose so, however there is a 89% chance that if B does not return to whammy's soon then Roger will think you have gotten into trouble" L said directing the statement to me and I just shrugged "Roger always thinks I'm in trouble" I replied with a smirk knowing that the reason Roger thought this was because normally I was, either that or I was up to no good. I was about to say something about this to L but Tala grabbed my hand in her little one and pulled me out the room "come on B, let's go play" she said happily dragging me out the room.
Tala made me play many of her games with her until we both grew bored, she pulled Maiko to her chest hugging him tightly "daddy says that we can move to whammy's soon too, then we can play more often" she said with a cute grin, I smirked "that's good Tess, I can think of a lot of fun things we can do then" I replied grinning to myself, she giggled and motioned me to move closer "I got a secret B" she said with another little laugh, I laughed too "and what might that be?" I asked slowly, she smiled "my names not Tess, it's Tala" she whispered before pulling back and smiling at me "oh really, Tala is a very pretty name" I said acting surprised, Tala looked pleased and nodded happily "it suits you" I said sticking my tongue out at her, Tala blushed and thanked me, hugging me tightly. We played a little longer until L came in and announced it was time for me to leave, Tala had frowned at this and gave me a huge hug promising they would play more when she got to whammy's.
