[Tucker held it up, higher out of reach; he wasn't the tallest of the Sim Troopers, but at least he still had something over a ten year old. It seemed like a stupid thing to be proud of, but he had no shame, never had; he took his victories where he could and lauded them accordingly.
But he just wanted this kid's attention, dammit; he just needed to clear it with him that he was okay, that he had parents, that he wasn't a walking monster midday snack, and then Tucker could be on his way. Totally reasonable, totally made sense. Why couldn't kids get that?]
Because if you don't, I'll skate off on your board doing sick tricks and everyone will just know you as the kid who wasn't nearly as cool as I am. [Would that work? It had to work.]
