LOST BOYS' CAMP

@Choi Minki Peter waited patiently as the boy made up his mind on following him or not. He knew the boy would follow him but he was a patient player, waiting for his turn to move the pieces.

"Definitely wouldn't. Not when I'm around at least. I would never let you get hurt." he assured with a gentle smile, even though there was a glint of mischievousness in his eyes. It never left though and it was simply part of his charm.

He briefly helped the boy stand, chuckling at the tense posture he assumed and the kind words that left his mouth. He was deliciously cute which awakened more of the king's interest.

"There is nothing to thank me for." he said with a juvenile tone, one hand resting on the other's back to invite him to walk beside him. "And you have not to lie. Not to me, Minki." he assured as he looked at the boy. "I know you miss home. And it is natural. You don't have to be ashamed of it. It's natural for us to dream of things we miss... But eventually you'll find new things to dream about. That is the magic of Neverland you see? This is a place where new dreams are born. You'll eventually forget about all the things that hurt you and be free. Free to be whatever you want. Because here... Everything is possible." he voiced with an inviting tone, an excitement that he knew always brightened up the kids. Who didn't want dreams to come true, right?

@Peter Pan (Key) Minki's eyes lit up slightly at the others encouraging and bright expression, staying positive even though Minki was unsure and uptight. He nodded his head and feigned a smile, trying to stay positive when only half of him really wanted to go back home, thinking that his decision to come had been a bad idea. But there was something in his chest, tightening around his heart and causing his breath to hitch on a moments notice. The pressure on his shoulder had him nodding again, a smile less feign than the other. His hands rested back at his side and looked down at one of his hands, grimacing at the dirt covering his pail skin and he bites his lip and wipes at his pants to get it off, eyes momentarily moving back and forth between his hand and the dirt.

"Well, I guess a walk wouldn't hurt." His eyes travel to the corner and he pauses before pulling himself up from the ground. He steadied on his feet and wiped nonexistent dirt off of his pants, turning to glance at the other boys before looking back to the latter. The tension was awkward to say the least, fingers fiddling with the edge of his shirt as he tugged lightly on it. "Thank you," he swallows the thickness in his mouth and straightens his posture, eyes adjusting to the sudden light in his eyes. "Though there's nothing much to trouble me." The words fall quicker than his breath, fingers curling despite the small sting, his fingers haven fallen asleep. "Thank you."

@Choi Minki Pan tilts his head as he watches the boy, studying his expression with interest. Moody boys weren't really his type and the ginger didn't really enjoy seeing sadness around his camp. Specially coming from such pretty faces. "Why now. You're in Neverland, Minki~ if you're moody you just have to believe you're feeling better and you will. You're special, Minki, you just have to believe." he smiled in assurance and moved one hand to squeeze the boy's shoulder in an assuring way, like an older brother would do. That would not be enough for a newcomer though since they were still not familiar with magic so Peter had other ways to help them relax and gain their trust. Being the attentive figure they hadn't had back in their homeland.

"How about we go for a small walk around the camp before you head to bed and you let me know what's troubling you? I'm sure it will help."

Minki was not the festive type and although he here and there enjoyed few games and songs, his mood was wavering since the morning and the way he woke up on the floor, body sprawled out and hair everywhere as if he had just been electrocuted. His mind continues to wander for what seems the nth time that day, fingers digging into unclean ground and eyes drifting like the clouds floating in the sky. The cheery laughter and singing wasn't enough to bring him from his daydream, but one voice in particular did. His head snapped up in surprise, head tilted and lips opening as if he were to to speak but he couldn't form exact words.

Minki retracted his legs and pulled them tightly to his chest, eyes peering up like a child, startled and confused. "Peter.." He murmurs quietly firstly to himself, and then he shakes his head to reject the idea. "I'm just.. not really in the mood, just a little tired I guess." He drops his head and breathes in, glancing up once again to watch the others play in the background. "I'm fine."

@Choi Minki As the lost boys danced, sang and played in groups around the firewood, Pan walked past them, a small amused smirk decorating his lips as he watched the enjoyment of his boys. There was one of his youngest boys though, that didn't seem to be enjoying himself. Like he was still finding difficult to let go of his own thoughts. The first lost boy smiled, recognizing the symptoms. With a friendly smile he moved swiftly to sit in front of the blond. "Why don't you join the other boys, Minki? The party is not exciting enough for you?" he teased in a playful manner as he watched the boy with attentive and caring eyes.
