[Barry manages to somehow wave with his whole squishy body, the puddle disturbed just enough to splash up against the little dryad's legs, the girl shrieking with laughter as she leaps backwards out of the way.]
That's so cool! Lemme try! [And there's absolutely no way this will ever work, but watch this little girl try! She drops down into a kneel, clenches her fists, and thinks so hard, like somehow she'll be able to change the shape of her body just by thinking hard enough. But all she manages to do is fall backwards onto her backside, still as long-legged and lanky as before. Lup gives an exaggerated look at her bark limbs, at her feet, watching her toes wiggle.]
Oh dang, guess it's only you's who can do that, huh?
[She's so preoccupied that Lup nearly misses Barry's question, her long ears perking up long before her chin follows, green eyes going wide.]
What?! You don't even know hide 'n' seek?! Ohmygosh, Barry! You're missing out! Do you wanna play a round with me? I'll go easy on you. Promise.
