[There's something so sweet about the way Barry giggles, his whole body jiggling with each sweet note. It leaves the little dryad's belly feeling funny, like she's just jumped off of the top branches of a tall tree to the ground.
She can't quite tell why but she recognizes that she likes that sound. And that she wants to get him giggling as much as possible.
But then before she can jump to splash him again, Barry flattens down, all the way to the ground, almost blending in with the puddle completely. Lup takes a small step backwards, just to keep from accidentally stepping on him, before she's laughing all over again, dropping to her knees to give his flattened form an experimental poke.]
How did you do that???!! That's so cool! You'd be like, the ultimate hide 'n' seek champ!
[Barry grins, looking so pleased with himself as Lup gets to her knees and pokes him. It doesn't feel like much. Kinda tickles!]
I just do it! Y'know, just think about it an' do it! I can do all sortsa shapes.
[He does a little wave with his whole flattened body, making the puddle splish and splash around him. Anything to make Lup laugh like that, all trilling and sweet, her leaves and vines crinkling. She's super cute, for some reason.
[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.

Something she says makes him hesitate though.]
Wh-What's hide 'n' seek?
