video;
[The video opens on a three-year-old Lloyd Irving, peering curiously at the tablet with a "What's that thing?" before Kotetsu turns the camera back around to himself.]
Anyone recognize this kid? He says his name's Lloyd, and he knows someone named uh...Noishe?
[Yeah, that's all he's got and he's probably butchering the pronunciation, but there's only so much info you can get out of a toddler, okay.]
I found him wandering around the Hold by himself, so if there's anybody here from his world it'd be a big help to hear from them.

( HUFFY )
Mr Maverick says....
( it's not very common for such small children to develop their abilities, so maybe they take longer to master than for someone older to start with. maybe it's those volatile emotions he's always chided on. )
...it doesn't happen that often.

It's not a big deal. Hundred power's really hard to get control of.
[If Barnaby hasn't considered becoming a Hero yet then it makes sense that he hasn't done much training with his powers. Still, it's a surprise somehow; another addition to that increasingly long list of reasons why Kotetsu doesn't know Barnaby as well as he thought he did.]
no subject
so he maybe tenses a little at that, considers an answer, and then says flatly: )
Like I said, it doesn't happen very often.
no subject
So a little more practice and you'll get the hang of it. Even if you don't wanna be a Hero, it'll be good for you to know what you can do.
no subject
( maybe hero academy will be good for something after all... )
no subject
Don't worry so much! People from the future are always right about these things.
no subject
( or in it anyway )
no subject
[Stop being smart, ugh.]
Look, I've gotta keep an eye on this kid for now, but you wanna meet up later? You can at least check out some stores for yourself and see if there's anything you like.
no subject
Alright. You can let me know when you're free.
no subject
Watch out, Kotetsu's feeling cheerful now. So cheerful, in fact, that he just shows up and knocks on Barnaby's door without bothering to call ahead.]
no subject
That's not really calling me.
( puts a hand on his hip and FROWNS. )

You're so little!

Hey! Wait a minute--! Bunny!

Kotetsu steps back and tries to sound friendly without slipping into that condescending tone his daughter hates so much. He doesn't quite succeed.]
Barnaby? Uh. I'm sorry if I offended you!
no subject
but the jacket is still ripped and he's getting cold.
UUUUUGGGGHHHH pulls it open with a scowl in place. )
Let's just go, already.
no subject
[Kotetsu perks up, not about to argue, except--. Well. There is one more tiny thing. Please don't kill him.]
You have an umbrella, right?
no subject
he probably does but he doesn't know which is his and which is someone else's and he doesn't want to steal an umbrella god. )
I'll be fine.
no subject
[He's bringing one along, of course, but that's not going to be enough for both of them if the rain gets too strong.]
no subject
( closes door and pushes past him into the hallway, hands stuffed into his pockets. )
no subject
Don't start complaining if you get soaked.
[Except he's already resolved to find Barnaby a raincoat that isn't several sizes too big.]
no subject
I won't.
