[Mr. Kaar]

Yun would smile and shake his head.

"Use this potential and survive, become strong and you will have repaid me in full."

[Jenesis E.]

Jenesis had a difficult time wrapping her head around a stranger being so kind. Her eyes lit up, her legs pushing forward as she jumped to hug him. Daddy always told her to be careful around strangers- and mind you, she was still 'approaching' him with caution.

"Thanks, mister Yun."

She would let go and take a step back.

"...the next time you see me--"

A pause. Had to think- she would not be 'strong' the next time they saw each other, or so she figured. But...

"--I will be stronger."

A grin.

She would take another step back, preparing herself to leave. Daddy would be worried if she didn't go home soon.

Oh, whoops! She would stand in front of him again, her pinky sticking out.

"Mister Yun, let's both survive this war. You cannot die until I have repaid you in full."

Although her tone was light and face was graced with a smile, there was an undertone of seriousness that could have thrown off her demeanor. Death...was a sad and unfortunately a common occurrence. His kindness had given her opportunities that she, herself, didn't quite know just yet. And to this kindness, she would make him promise a promise of survival, knowing it would take her, perhaps, the rest of her life to become 'strong'.

And she had no intentions of greeting death until she was very old in age.

[Mr. Kaar]

Yun was caught off guard by her hug, but returned it with a light pat anyways, was going to wave bye until she turned around and held out a pinky promise...

"Ah, very well. I promise to survive."

He'd stick his own pinky out to curl around hers and shake on it.

[Jenesis E.]

"Byebye."

She would say before setting off, bare feet wandering off in an unknown direction. Her eyes would glance one last time at the water, her hand waving goodbye, feeling a natural surge of calm in her gut--

--unknown to Jenesis, the waters would crash as it followed the motions of her hand.

[Mr. Winklewood]

FROM THE OCEAN, HE COMES

*SPLASH*

FROM THE OCEAN ERUPTED A WHITE-FOAMED OVER FIGURE WITH A LARGE BROWN BAG ATTACHED TO IT. RAPIDLY IT DOUSED ITSELF INTO THE OCEAN AGAIN, SURGING AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHITE BUBBLES STREAMING FROM ITS SHAPELESS FORM. IT JUMPED AGAIN, CRASHLANDING ONTO THE BEACH, NEXT TO JENESIS---

---The tall figure of a shirtless man, dripped at the side, on his left knee, right hand planted deep into the sand where he landed. Drenched jeans WITH A GIGANTIC APPENDAGE SEEMINGLY WRAPPED AROUND UNDERNEATH made the man at least half-way decent. Behind him was a gigantic, wriggling bag thousands of tiny screams filling the air. Short, dirty-blond hair was splayed down the sides of his head, where a sparkling blue eye stared forth, appraising the small girl. The biggest, broadest grin erupted on his face as he giggled sinisterly.

"HAVE I GOT A BIG LOAD FOR YOU, LITTLE MISSY."

---ABRUPTLY, THE MAN WOULD STAND AT FULL HEIGHT, TOWERING OVER THE LITTLE GIRL WITH ELEVEN INCHES ABOVE HER. THE SUN CAST DOWN A SHDOW OF DOOM ACROSS HER SMALL FRAME, AS THE LARGE MAN LEANED ON OVER TO HER---

...And planted a gentle, salty kiss on her forehead. He looked down at her, admiringly, still.

"Let's go home. Before the catch spoils."

Extending out a not sticky free hand to her, they would walk to disappear through an unclear route.

[Jenesis E.]

Her eyes widened temporarily in fear when the waves were misbehaving...until she saw the figure shoot out from the water, to which a large grin - ear to ear - would stretch across her face.

"DADDY!"

She would clap her hands and laugh, wholly amused and relieved. Dad was never too far from wherever she was. How long did it take him to catch the fish?

The kiss to her forehead made her beam. Slipping her hand into his, the small halfie would fall into step beside him, telling him of her adventures of Yun and the most delicious fruit she ate as they went home.
