Diplomacy, Monday, November 14, 2022

Anakin had three small people in tow today when he came into the Danger Shop. One of them was his wife, so that was awkward. "Today's diplomacy experiment will be negotiating the playground," he announced, gesturing to the elaborate set behind him. "Do not climb up the slide, get kicked by someone on a swing, or be a merry-go-round hog. If you aren't actually bleeding, do not involve a grown up. Now go. Play."

Libby listened very carefully to the instructions, nodding a little. She wasn't very good at running, which was fine, it was more of a thing for boys to be good at, but if it was just a game, maybe it would be okay.

But just to test that she understood, she lifted a hand and reached out to touch the other girl's shoulder.

"And now," she guessed, "you're It again?"

Charlie laughed delightedly. "Yes! I'm It! Run!"

She dashed around the room giggling like mad to give Libby a chance to run.

And Libby did, in fact, run, although she felt a little awkward and kind of silly about it, and her skirt definitely didn't help with things, but her arms were pumping as she made a hurried dash over to the slide, where she figured she could maybe hide a little and slow the other girl down as a sort of obstacle.

Charlie ran after her, but gave the other girl time to escape. "Keep going, I'm coming!"

She dodged left and right and around and finally made a dash, "Aaaaaaaahhh! Aaaaaaand..."

Would she make it? "Taaaaaag...!"
