[ WHOA... A CHILD

becomes a baby too ]

Are you looking for a snack?

[shirtbag]

Yeah. I was gonna cut one up.

I'm Boothill. Who're— I mean, what's your name?

[damp]

I'm Rin. Nice to meet ya!

[ hehe ]

Apples are a pretty good snack... I'll help you pick!

[ Starts climbing one of the trees like a squirrel. ]

[shirtbag]

Wha— Hey! How'd you get so fast?!

[ starts climbing after him!!! ]

[damp]

Hehe. Upper body strength is important to a swimmer like me.

[ Struggles with his baby arms but eventually gets onto a branch. Watching to see if Boothill is following. ]

[shirtbag]

[ jk he's swiftly following up there like he's done this before himself, but he's still behind rin. ]

You're a swimmer?

[ once he settles on the branch next to rin, he looks worriedly towards the rest of the meadow. ]

If Nick catches me up here again, he's gonna get real cross with me...

[damp]

[ PROTECTS HIM ]

Yep! [ swimming!! ] Who's Nick?

[shirtbag]

Nick 'n Graey run the orphanage.

[ another wary look around before he straddles the branch, takes off his hat, and starts dropping apples into it. ]

Anyway, anyone can be a swimmer. What's so special about it?

[damp]

[ He does not have anything with which to carry apples... Grabs just one and looks at it. ]

Anyone can be a swimmer. [ He agrees! ] But I'm dedicating my life to it.

And I'm going to be the best.

[ whoa... that shounen anime determination ]

You like swimmin' that much? What happens if you're the best?

[damp]

Hm... Well. If I beat everyone in the world somehow, I guess I'll just keep trying to beat my personal best.

[ Glancing at him. ]

Don't you have something you're crazy about?

[shirtbag]

Personal best?

[ and oh. thinks. ]

Uh... not really. I like a lot of stuff. Ridin' horses, goin' to the lake, playin' the guitar, eatin'... When I get old, I wanna be a cowboy just like in Nick's stories.
