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.
Lucas stood back half a step once Aiden had let go of his hand and approached the ice cream. The man allowed himself a small smile as he watched his charge's enthusiasm grow. Maybe they could make this work, long term. He hoped, at least.

"Alright," he said with a chuckle, stepping up next to Aiden. "How about this..." he added, after a quick moment's consideration. Scooping up the boy, careful not to get a face full of wing, he was able to give Aiden a better view of the options. Sure, it meant that Lucas only had one hand, but he'd only have one with Aiden holding on, anyway, and this way, the boy could whold his own bowl.

He picked up a bowl that seemed large enough to share, and got two spoons. "Toppings?" He looked at Aiden as he moved toward the little bowls. "Point out what you want."
