[With a short laugh, Davesprite flies them over a calmer part of the crowd of cherry blossom trees, and the river running behind them is already becoming visible.]

Yeah, I guess it'd be prettier if it wasn't for the whole "everything's on fucking fire" problem. But hey, we're on that shit like gods on the heavens.

[Apparently someone doesn't have a problem with extensive swearing in front of small children.]

[Apparently not! The girl is actually a little confused by them. She leans down a little, curiously trying to see his face from where she's seated.]

What is… 'fucking fire'?

[Oh god.]

[redotiertwo]

[Oh boy. Davesprite's met one or two people uncomfortable with swearing before, but not someone who doesn't seem to know the words at all, and he has to bite down on a laugh even as he's feeling kind of bad about introducing a kid to it.]

Okay, uh. "Fucking fire" isn't so much a thing, but "fucking" is pretty much a word you use when you want to accentuate the hell out of something and no other word can measure up to exactly how hard you want to hammer that point home. So, you know, only use it in the most serious and hardcore of situations.

[This explanation cannot possibly backfire on him or her in future, at all.]

[ammyterasu]

Oh…!

[This makes so much sense! The girl wiggles a little - just a little!! - and tries to think of the best ways to use this new word.]

So it would be… mmm… I'm really fucking upset about this fire!

[Bless.]

[Davesprite shifts very slightly at the little wriggle regardless, making entirely sure they don't overbalance, and it's kind of impossible to hide a slight grin as the little girl demonstrates her incredibly important new knowledge.]

Got it in one. Just don't drop it around people who offend easily and you're set to go.

[And they're pretty much across the forest by now, so he starts his descent towards the riverside.]
