[He does not, but even if he did get out more that wouldn't help much in this case. He stares at her in silence. You can practically see the gears turning in his head as he tries to make sense of what she's saying.]
Is this a game...?
[Because the alternative is she's lying, and that seems rude to accuse a stranger of.]
[It takes him a beat. While sarcasm is something his older self is no stranger to, for little Min-Gi it just isn't something he comes across. Maybe occasionally from Ryan's older sisters, but even then it's just as likely they're trying to trick him into something as being sarcastic.
Once he gets it, though, he bristles.]
Okay. So you're a liar. When I see an adult I'm telling.
I am not a liar! I am genuinely asking you for help! And yes, please tell your parents that there are two children in need of assistance, because clearly they would be nicer and more useful than you!
[A small part of her regrets that last clause, but look, it's been a long day, she has no idea where she is or how to get home or even get a message to Altea. It's a lot for a girl, even one who's supposed to be a princess. So... yes, a few tears might start leaking out too.]
[Min-Gi only looks a few moments from full waterworks himself. It's hard to say what upset him more; the reminder his parents aren't around, or being told he isn't nice or useful.
The Flittle he'd been playing with before hovers worriedly around him, but he hardly seems to notice. He stands rigid, face red and eyes full of unshed tears. His mouth is twisted in absolute fury.
[It is literally only a few seconds before another boy is literally skidding into the frame from running so fast to answer Min's call. He actually slides a little too far, bonks into a table and knocks something off it, but quickly picks himself up and rushes over.]
Min-Gi! Is everything okay?! What's wrong?
[He's making the 'bout to cry face and that's never good.]
[At first, Allura's own goody two-shoes flinch at the idea of being told on, but oh. It's another child, and really, she remembers SHE'S not the one in the wrong here.]
Hello. My name is Allura, and my friend and I have been kidnapped. We are trying to find a way to contact our homes and families. Can you help us?

Woops, forgot a child icon last time.
A... dream?
[She raises an eyebrow. She's fairly certain this is reality.]
And what makes you think this is a dream?

They look like perfectly plausible species, albeit ones from any planet's ecosystem I'm familiar with.

[He sounds very sure of himself, right up until the rest of her sentence catches up to him. Then he looks completely bewildered.]
What planet? Only Earth can have animals...
no subject
[Boy, this kid really doesn't get out much does he?]
No? Clearly not? I am from the planet Altea, for instance, and this planet apparently has its own ecosystem.

[... Okay, VERY sheltered.]
Yes, this is all a game, and my friend and I are pretending to be kidnapped to a strange place with no means to get home for fun. Whee...

[Because unfortunately he is that kind of child.]
