“Up there?”, they curiously looked up, to the sky. “Oooh!”. They stood on their tippy toes, reaching up. Giggling, they looked to Quinton again.
“Up up!”, they smiled brightly. That was very high up! And they knew someone from so high up! And he could do such cool tricks too! They were amazed already.“Quinton from up there! Me from tree!”, they giggled happily, hopping up and down slightly where they stood.
“Way up there in the clouds.” He said with a nod, watching the innocence as he tried to reach.. If he wasn’t tied to the tree he would’ve gladly offered to show him further, but for now, he seemed to be enthusing the little one plenty enough as it were.
He chuckled, nodding and encouraging the sweet little statements. The flame in his hand still flickering about, almost trying to hop like the child.
“I could show you other things too, if you’re curious, are there things you want to know about?” He wasn’t a teacher by any means, but he had enough knowledge and time that he very well could be, and he couldn’t help wanting to help the younger.
“Clouds! Clouds up!”, they giggled. Clouds! Were clouds the white stuff or the blue stuff? They couldn’t ask, not having enough words for it, but they were happy to know one of the two were clouds!
“Know about! Want to know about Quinton! Clouds! Tree! Up!”, they giggled and twirled around, arms spread out. They wanted to know about everything! And they wanted to know all of the words!
