He crouched down, though, as the boy drew nearer whenever anyone came too close, even as he nodded about wanting food.

Getting himself on eye-level, he smiled supportively. "I'm right here and wont' go anywhere. And if you want to go, all you have to do is let me know, ok?" This was a lot of people and Lucas was worried about Aiden getting overwhelmed. But, well, they were going to have to do stuff like this at some point. Might as well start now, while Lucas had the full attention to devote to Aiden.

December would... change things.

Standing again, Lucas started over toward the food. "Why don't you go and pick out something for us both?"
The wings were rather comforting, all in all. Aiden liked how big and fluffy they were, and how he could make them look like they were flapping. And he could totally fly away if he needed to, cause that was what wings were for.

Okay, not really. But he could pretend. He nodded, the nodded again, looking directly at Lucas as the man knelt down to talk to him. The reassurances made him a lot more comfortable, but he still reached for Lucas's hand again as soon as the man stood. He bounced a bit as they moved closer to the tables of food, and he stretched up on his toes to try and better see everything they had to offer.

...ICE CREAM. SO MUCH ICE CREAM. The little boy's eyes went wide and he looked up at Lucas before letting go of his hand and gripping the edge of the table with both of his own, trying to give himself just a little extra height to see all the different ones that had been set out. It was all so colourful and pretty and yummy looking, and his wings flounced a bit on his back as he bounced on his tippy toes and pointed excitedly.

ICE CREAM PLEASE.
