[A rare smile, to be sure, but that just makes it more special in Tibia's eyes. She ducks her head shyly, offering Wade the most somber of nods in agreement of Chara's words, and then once again turns her attention to the child as they make their request. She glances at Wade once again, uncertainly, to which he responds with an answering nod in her direction.]

S'okay, Tibs. Chara and I just need to chew the fat a little. Why don't you go visit with Happy-chan for a while? I think she's with Nami today.

[Tibia looks like she's about to protest, but in the end she merely nods again, reaching once more to give their arm a gentle squeeze (being very cautious not to snag their clothing or skin in her claws) before hopping off of the bed and making her way out the door. She'd very much like to stick around with her human friend, but she's aware that Wade and Chara sometimes like to share grownup talks together.

Wade follows her exit with his eyes, a fond smile on his face, before turning his gaze back to the child standing in front of him.]

She's really taken a shine to you. I don't think I've ever seen her act that way around anyone, 'cept me.
