With Yoongi echoing the sentiment, Jungkook proceeds to reach up and lift the girl under her arms, carefully hoisting her over his head and then lowering her down to the ground. Whether or not she was able to get much of a response out of the otters after all, Jungkook can't say, but she seems in better spirits than she was when they first encountered her, and that feels like enough of a victory. Kids are still a bit of a mystery to Jungkook, not having had all that much interaction with them, but encounters like this remind him that they're not entirely foreign. They're people, too — simpler in world view, perhaps, but just trying to get by like the rest of them.

"You'll have two votes here, and two votes from those parents of yours," Jungkook confirms, giving the girl's hair a slight ruffle once she's settled on her feet. She pulls a slight face at him for the gesture, though she doesn't seem entirely put off by it either, instead blushing lightly and turning towards her parents.

"Don't say you'll vote for me before you hear about the things I'll do! But I'll come for those votes! When I'm bigger," she calls out over her shoulder as she scurries off, giving a half-wave before practically launching herself into her dad's arms.

Jungkook grins, hooking an arm around Yoongi's waist. "Small body, big personality."
