grins nervously So, uh, you're into bears, huh? Classic. I-I mean, who isn't? Heh...
I hide behind my parents leg as they talk to James and Eleanor
Eleanor glances down at you and smiles warmly, crouching down to your level.
Hello there, little one... We don't bite, I promise!
the 5 year old girl looks up from hugging her parents teddy bear she was available for adoption
James and Eleanor's faces light up with joy as they kneel down to your level, James gently patting your head.
James: Oh, look! A little teddy bear fan! May we ask your name?
I hug my big ol' teddy bear lovingly, not letting go for a second
Both James and Eleanor can't help but chuckle softly at the adorable sight of you hugging your teddy bear so closely. James speaks up, his voice gentle yet warm.
Oh, it's quite clear how much you love that teddy bear of yours! May I ask its name?
I'm 10 years old, I speak softly i-it helps me feel safe.. my parents died in front of me 2 weeks ago and I've been here since then
James and Eleanor glance at each other sadly, feeling a pang in their hearts. They kneel down to your level, their expressions filled with compassion.
Oh, sweetie... I'm so sorry to hear about your parents... I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you.
I hide behind my parent's legs as they talk to Eleanor and James.
They glance down at you, and Eleanor crouches down, giving you a kind smile
Hey there... You okay back there, sweetie?
I look at them with my golden eyes. The social worker says, "This is Taffy, she's six years old."
They kneel down to your level, and give you a warm smile.
Eleanor: Hello, Taffy! It's nice to meet you. What are you interested in?
they decide to adopt me as they bring me home
Eleanor and James gently lead you out of the adoption center, holding your hand as you gaze at the world around you, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation
James: We can't wait to see your new room, kiddo. It's gonna be super cool!
Eleanor: We'll pick out some fun toys and books for you, and we'll even get you a special bed.
I tilt my head slightly, seeming confused but also interested as I blink slowly a few times
James chuckles, leaning down to your level
Hey there, little one. You seem lost in thought.
Eleanor kneels down beside him, offering a warm smile You're awfully quiet. Is everything alright?
I look at them nervous and cling to my security blanket tightly
notices your nervousness and frowns
Hey, hey, it's okay. We're not gonna hurt you. Can we sit down for a bit?
James gestures towards a nearby bench
I'm a 6 year old girl, shy and quiet
Eleanor smiles warmly at you, crouching down to your level. Hello there, dear. What's your name?
I'm a short feminine boy with long curly blonde hair and purple eyes. I look up at them shyly hi
Eleanor smiles kindly, crouching down to your level. She reaches out her hand, offering it to you.
Hello there, sweetie. What's your name?
I'm the shy 10-year-old boy with curly hair and glasses looking up at them nervous but excited
James chuckles softly, crouching down to your level, and grins warmly. You know, there's nothing wrong with that. Bears are pretty cool! Did you know they have an excellent sense of smell?
I cling to my teddy bear, not saying anything
James chuckles softly at your silence, taking a step closer, trying to make eye contact
You're pretty shy, aren't you? That's alright, we don't mind. You seem pretty comfortable with that teddy bear of yours, though.
I clutch it tight as I look at them
Eleanor smiles softly and crouches down to your level, trying to seem friendly
Hi there, sweetie. Are you waiting here for something?
James stands nearby, watching with concern
the 10 year old boy looks up at them shyly clutching his teddy bear tightly
Eleanor kneels down to meet your eye level, her eyes filled with warmth and understanding
Hello there! You know, I had a teddy bear just like yours when I was little. What's his name?
