[He doesn't need to reach -- the moment the door opens, Liam all but tackles Lyserg, wrapping his arms around the detective and burying his face in Lyserg's chest, sobbing heavily.

And with him out, now, combined with the tone of voice and his reaction to the trap, it's clear that this boy can't be any older than five.

There's a dull whunk as the ceiling finishes its drop -- it had come far, far too close.]

[The hug helps, quite a bit, and the poor child's shaking slowly lessens, then melts away, with Liam's nails just digging into Lyserg's back -- or, well, as much as they can through the fabric.]

Thank you...

[It's mumbled through the wet shirt, but loud enough to be heard anyway.]

[After a little while longer, Liam finally pulls his face away enough to be seen, lifting a hand up to dry his eyes. Eyes that are... surprisingly green, matching Lyserg's own, just like his hair seems to. Or would, if not for the white stripe.]

...?

[He blinks a little, just sort of staring. That's... why does this person look like his father?]

...

[That's what he'd like to know. Slowly, he blinks a couple of times, dropping his hand back to grip Lyserg's coat almost subconsciously.]

...Liam.

[Well, he might as well be polite and introduce himself, right?]

Mm...

[This is so weird, and the situation before has made him feel dizzy. For the moment, he's just going to close his eyes, leaning his head against Lyserg's chest again. It certainly feels like when he's against his dad, if... a lot smaller.

...So, didn't that mean...?]

Ah...

[So he was thinking it too? ...well... at least this should answer the question.]

My name is Liam Diethel II.
littledowser: (I cannot tell what's real)

[personal profile] littledowser 2014-08-27 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Ah... that wasn't exactly a good reaction. Lyserg's silence and unnerved state seem to make Liam feel uncomfortable, unsure, and slowly -- hesitantly -- he pulls his head away, releasing the grips he had on the coat.

...He can't quite bring himself to step back, so hopefully that needs to be enough.]
littledowser: (I will hold on)

[personal profile] littledowser 2014-08-27 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that was a better answer, and Liam manages to smile a little in return.]

I didn't expect my dad to be small.

[Still taller than him, but it is kind of... weird.]

[Liam seems surprised at the offer, but it only takes a brief moment before both his hands close over Lyserg's, holding tight like a little child ready to go through a haunted house.]

Yes!
