Kiyr's expression was gentle as Maddie said she was bored a lot. She didn't doubt. The blonde steered them both over to the couch to sit. And she felt a deep pang of guilt when she mentioned 'Mom and Dad'. She had promised David's floating form that she would go bring Olesya back from the ARC; and that promise was just as much for Maddie. Her gaze darkened a bit. So far she hadn't been able to, though the circumstances had her making the hard choice to stay. David was unconscious and healing in the kolo tanks. It would be fifteen years before he would safely open his eyes. Mathew was on the ship, though she figured he was content to not be in a leadership position to see what she could do. Leon was on Earth. She was the only leader - though she was no Elder, nor did she claim to be (heck, she called herself Acting Captain when Damien questioned her), but she was capable - the ship had that was capable of manning her because she had the mask. So Kiyr chose to stay.
It was not an easy choice. It was not the choice she wanted to make. But it was, however, the needed choice.
But, even if she said Youichi and August never let her have any fun, the blonde was not so inclined to believe that. Maddie was a willful child and wanted her own way, just like every child her age. Kiyr took that with a grain of salt but listened intently, anyway. And with Maddie's words on going outside, she felt a bit worse. But that was in empathy, because the little girl wasn't the only one missing the outdoors and freedom to run around and enjoy the sun.
"I want to go outside, too. But that just is not possible right now, Maddie. If we go off the ship...well, we are not on Earth, but outside of it in space. We would die. But...we can not go back to Earth right this moment. There is someone very powerful there. You remember when we first got on the ship? He was going to hurt and kill a lot of people. Maybe even all of us. We are safer out here, until we figure out how to beat him."
She explained it without hiding things from her, but kept her phrasing gentle. In fact...Kiyr planned on taking Maddie to a panel before their visit was over, to open the window so Maddie could see out into space. To see the Earth from their position near the moon.
And then there was a matter (though very minor) about the crayons. But perhaps she could think of a solution or two for that.

"Yeah I remember, it was s-scary...!" Maddies eyes got really wide as she remembered the day they all escaped on the ship. She had been screaming for August to grab her kitty Oliver, but he had been nowhere to be found. After losing Olesya and then Oliver, with David in a coma, have been very traumatic for the little girl. Shed spent he whole following day just crying for Olesya and David, and at least a week clinging to Youichis side, not wanting to leave her for even a moment.
The ten year old got a bit teary, remembering the big scary man on Earth. She didn't wanna go outside anymore. Good job, Kiyr.

That look...
Kiyr blinked.
"Hey, Maddie? You do not need to be afraid up here, okay? And when we make it so that everyone can go back to Earth, you will not need to be afraid there, either, because we will make sure that man is not going to hurt anyone, okay?"
She gave a reassuring smile.

Maddie sniffled in only the way that little kids can. She really wanted her Oliver right now. She believed Kiyrs words, because Kiyr was a grown up and grown ups always tell the truth.
"Can Mommy come back when the earth is safe too?"

Poor kid. And she was breaking Kiyr's heart to bits. The blonde looked at the child for a moment.
"Maddie. If I am able to, I will try to bring her back, myself, okay?"

At Kiyrs promise, Maddies frown turned into a smile. Kiyr was a grown up and grown ups always told the truth. "Thank you Kiwi I love you!" She hugged the pretty blonde lady again, her little heart feeling big and full.
Having grown up in an orphanage, Maddie hadn't had much of a loving family life. Olesya and David had given that to her, and had given her Auntie Youyou and Uncle August as well. Would Kiwi be her family too?

She would try, anyway. And for now she said nothing on knowing where Olesya was, or that she found out while the battle on earth was raging around the ship and they had to leave. She looked surprised at the hug, then gently returned it.
She sighed quietly and then sat the girl back, though her words cut the blonde to the quick and melted her heart.
She would try.
"Now...I think we need to have a little chat. What was it you were drawing back there, Maddie?"
She couldn't see from the angle, and for now sounded nothing more than curious.

The little girl frowned, wishing Kiyr had forgotten about the drawing. After all, she had covered her own room in doodles and drawings.
"August let me do it." Not technically a lie, as the soldier had let her color at the table before falling asleep on the job.

"Did he, now? And if I ask him if he let you draw on the walls in sneaky places, would he say he let you?"
Kyrie smiled, the corners of her eyes crinkling in amusement. She would wait for Maddie to answer before repeating her first question.
"I asked what you were drawing, Maddie...not who let you."
It wasn't like the ship couldn't be cleaned, after all.

"Yesss...?" Depends if you ask him when he's asleep, or if he's had a couple beers with the guys. Truthfully if asked point blank he'd try to talk it off, because he wouldn't want to admit to falling asleep in the first place.
"I was drawing a flower. Are you mad at me?" If any of the girls drew on the walls or wet their pants at Madame Butterflies, they'd usually go without dinner.

The blonde wasn't aware he had fallen asleep in the first place, but she gave a small smile at Maddie's question.
"No, little one, not mad. But I think art is better out in the open, no..? Perhaps we could make some of the walls in the hall special art walls for you and the other civilians..?"
Young and old.

She gasped slowly, unable to believe her ears. David probably would have looked at her sternly then laughed it off, August would have made her wash it off ('builds character'), Youichi and Olesya would have been stern and upfront and explained why it was not a good thing to draw on the walls. Kiyr was different, and she had really good ideas.
"Yeah!!!" She bounced on the couch cushion.

"Okay~ I will tell Ceres what I have in mind, and she and her children will be quick to make those special art walls appear. Does that sound good to you?"
She would wait for the child to answer - and probably bounce around some more - while relaying her idea to Ceres in silence. Then she looked over to Einrik.
"Einrik, please get us a couple cloths, wet and soapy? Maddie and I should clean up her flower."
While anyone might expect Einrik to scoff and roll his eyes, he just gave a half-smile and nod before meandering to go do just that. Kyrie turned her blue eyes to the child and smiled, gently.
"We have to clean up this mess, at least, before we can go draw, okay? If you work hard, you can be the first one to draw on one of the art walls. Does that sound fair?"

"Its not a mess! Its just a flower!" Maddie protested at first, before pressing her lips together in a little frown, though he eyes were bright.
"Okay..." She was swayed by the idea of being the very very first person to draw on the art wall! She knew she had to be good to have such an honor so she agreed to wash off the flower from behind the chair. "Will you make pretty art on the wall too?"

Kiyr would just look gently at Maddie, keeping quiet and letting the child choose for herself. Mess might have been an abrupt word, but, it was still what it was, because the art wasn't in a "customary" place. Not that artists didn't use unconventional platforms and means to create their art, but, she couldn't have Ceres' children running around and cleaning the walls anytime the kids got overly creative. And Maddie was still young, and needed to have some boundaries so she would be able to tell right from wrong.
Besides, it wasn't just "one" wall, but many. Finding them all would even prove to be an interesting and fun hunt for the children.
"Of course I will." The blonde smiled before leaning towards the young girl. A very special secret was about to be told. "I would have drawn on the walls when I was a little girl...but my mother had twins before me, so she already had an art wall in place in our home."
So Kyrie had been able to play without getting in trouble. Her sister had kind of paved the way in some things, her brother in others.
