Why not Janey? Daddy likes you a lot.

Oh dear.

[but-its-a-rock]

No more hidding you and daddy need to go be happy! [giggles a bit]

Oh dear.

It seems I’ve kinda gotten carried away with how peaceful this place is. I’ve hidden away. It was much needed though. I’ll be around a bit more now.

[but-its-a-rock]

[nods and grins] Yes swimming! I love swimming. [shakes her head] I don't have anything here with me. ..  I left it all back at the place. [bites her lip and looks down]

Has Anyone Seen. .

Good! *smiles at her excitement* Swimming, huh? Well, do you have a swimsuit, or are we gonna have to buy you one? *finds a road and walks alongside it*

[but-its-a-rock]

[giggles and nods] Well I am okay with that! [grins wide and moves with him looking aground] [gasps] Oh I hope so! I wanna go swimming and all that funsie stuff.

Has Anyone Seen. .

*shrugs* I don’t know. That’s why I want you to find out with me. *starts walking in some direction* Maybe we’ll see some animals or find the beach…

[but-its-a-rock]

[grins and claps her hands] Yay! [moves with him and nods] Okay! What do you think they have fun to do around here papa?

Has Anyone Seen. .

*smiles at her* Good. You don’t have to. *takes her hand* Would you like to explore the island with me, Princess?

[but-its-a-rock]

[burries her head into his shoulder and grins a little before pulling away] [nods] I would love that daddy. So so so much. I never wanna leave you ever again.

Has Anyone Seen. .

Oh sweetie… *hugs her tightly* You can live with me now, okay? Would you like that?

[but-its-a-rock]

[nods and smiles] Yeah. I'm glad someone I know is here. ..  You haven't seen my daddy anywhere have you? [moves into her arms]

Well.

[but-its-a-rock]

[hugs him back and burries her face] I ran away.

Has Anyone Seen. .

Princess! *squats down and hugs her tightly* What are you doing here?

[but-its-a-rock]

H-hi Jane. . . Uhm. .  Mommy abandoned me so the people came and got me again. . . and then I ran away.

Well.

[but-its-a-rock]

It's very pretty here.

Well.

I hope I can finally get some peace. This place looks very promising.

[but-its-a-rock]

Has Anyone Seen. .

*turns at the voice and tilts his head* Dot?

[but-its-a-rock]

Has Anyone Seen. .

m-m-my daddy.

[but-its-a-rock]

I didn't say you were locking me out. I didn't say anything about you at all. I would come to your place if I wanted to but I don't. 

is a perfectly good apartment that you can live in if you open the fucking door. I’m not locking you out. But go ahead, do what you want. You always will.

[but-its-a-rock]

Well I kind of have to be now that Papa has left the circus and me alone. I don't have anywhere to go.

Oooh, pulling the mother card. Someone’s feeling grown up.

[but-its-a-rock]

I'm good. Maybe next time mother.

I’m bored. Let’s go do something illegal.

[but-its-a-rock]

[shrugs] I dunno she says so so I guess I have to believe her right? 

SHhhh.

How very proper of you. You sure you’re Shenzi’s kid?

[but-its-a-rock]

SHhhh.
