You gonna talk to him or let me be your spokesperson?

( because... )

I'm not really good at talking to kids.

[explosion]

I think you are doing well enough.

[ pietro doesn't seem to cosign that agreement. he wrinkles his nose in distaste like he's sucked a lemon.

wanda smiles at pietro. while she has many scripts in her arsenal, she's not quite sure which one suits this scene. this isn't the first time she's seen little pietro. she hopes it's not the last.

so, she looks at amos expectantly. ]

But did you see Wanda? She is small and has hair as dark as you. [ in a loud whisper, ] Perhaps she is hiding behind a curtain.

[ pietro gasps. ] The curtain! Which curtain?

[ wanda, still looking at amos "i'm bad at talking to kids" burton, tilts her head to the left. ]

[rocinantes]

( he makes a face at her. )

Why you asking me, I don't know. Maybe it's one of the curtains over there.

( he gestures at it and then shrugs. )

Try that.

[explosion]

[ and that is where a little wanda will be. when pietro tiptoes to the curtains, he pulls them back gently to girlish squeals and laughter. when he steps aside, a little girl with black hair smiles toothily up at him. ]

You found me. I guess I am it.

[ wanda—the taller one with red hair—smiles as she watches pietro help her younger self stand up from where she had tucked herself behind the curtain. ]

Did you ever play hide-and-seek?

[rocinantes]

No. I didn't have any brothers and sisters. I didn't grow up in a place like this.

( she might have gone through some shit in her life but it looks like her childhood had been okay.

his had not. )

I didn't really do this kind of thing.
