"Okay, if you say so. Here, let me help you. Give me your hand, I'll teach you something." He kept his hand held out, wanting to teach her to shake hands. It was a basic skill after all that anyone should have. He also needed to fix that speech thing. She kept referring to herself in the third person, like she wasn't even a sentient being herself. "Can you say 'I'? And 'me'? Like I am Nine." He touched his chest t emphasize his point, "Now you try."<br/><br/>He glanced over her shoulder as he smelled food coming this way. Not just the usual crap this place put out this was the better of the wines. He raised an eyebrow when he realized it was coming for them, and was further surprised when the waitress that was carrying it told them Kirk was expecting them. Obviously he hadn't been paying enough attention if they'd gotten a message up there and back without him noticing. It was probably in the back, maybe a back way in to see Kirk even.<br/><br/>He wasn't about to argue though and held the door for both the waitress and Maya before following them up the stairs to Kirk. The waitress entered without knocking and so he followed the same way, walking in, nodding to Kirk and waiting for the waitress to leave before speaking. "Good evening Kirk." He nodded to Mrs. Dunsany, "Good even to you too Mrs. Dunsany. I trust one of you two are defecting to the other team as we speak?" He asked with a grand smile like it was just the greatest of news. He knew that since they weren't at each others throats they had to be working together which made one of them a traitor. He really hoped it was Mrs. Dunsany because he'd make a permanent enemy of the rebel forces if he had to kill Kirk. "And this is Maya. I found her outside, abandoned in the swamp, and hoped you'd be able to help me see her get to a safe place. And I'm Nine, nice to meet you." He stepped forward and offered his hand to shake.
