[July is used to his device turning on randomly so he ignores it as he sits on a couch at Hatter's place. This part isn't so unusual. What is unusual is that he is sitting there holding a teddy bear. It's one that Setsuna gave to him.

It's his now.

He looks over at the device and tilts his head.]

It turned on again. [Just to let people know why it's recording. Moving over, he turns it off.]

[How sweet, both the scene and that Setsuna gave him the toy in the first place. Ne walks over and sits down next to him, fingers momentarily sliding through his hair.]

One has heard it is common to name such toys.

[worldofourown]

Such a cute toy.

[ The teddy bear or the boy? The world may never know. ]

[through_glass]

[He looks up at Hatter.]</small. Name a toy?

[through_glass]

[He looks over at the screen again but doesn't say anything, just staring.]

[indecent_butterfly]

Yes. Stuffed animals and...dolls.

[mortemscintilla]

[ He's been keeping discreet tabs on the MI6 Doll. But sometimes a direct approach is equally favorable. 'Li' is a sucker for kids, after all. ]

It does that often. The Network Device, I mean.

[worldofourown]

[ Have a smile, ]

Where did you get that teddy bear?

[through_glass]

[He looks down at his bear.]

It does not have a name.

[through_glass]

Setsuna gave it to me.

[through_glass]

[He just nods at that.]

[worldofourown]

How very sweet of him.

Do you like teddy bears? Or are you more the trains-and-cars sort of tot?

[indecent_butterfly]

Not yet. But you could give it one.

[through_glass]

It does not matter.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Eloquent, as always. ]

I don't think we've spoken before. Are you new to the City?

[through_glass]

I could give it one...

[That is strange. Dolls do not name things.]

[worldofourown]

Come now. Of course it does. Everyone likes one thing more than the other.

[through_glass]

[He shakes his head. No. Not anymore.]

[through_glass]

I suppose.

[mortemscintilla]

I hope you're staying with nice people, in any case.

[ As if he doesn't already know who July's staying with. ]

[worldofourown]

You 'suppose.' My, such a stoic little thing.

Don't you like anything?

[through_glass]

Yes.

[Hatter and Setsuna are nice. So they count.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Perhaps not, but there are still moments where ne's trying to work past all that.]

Yes.

[through_glass]

Dolls are not to like.

[through_glass]

[He's silent for a long them and then...]

Bear.

[mortemscintilla]

That's good. [ Because with 'Li's rosy worldview, why would he have any reason to believe differently? (And even if he didn't, why would he care?) ] You're certainly a quiet little boy. What's your name?
