"That's okay," *she whispered. She glanced at her mother and caught a Look.*
"I'm sorry, too," *she said quickly.* "I should not have run away and...done whatever I did."

"It is..."
understandable.
*Genghis thought silently of the girl's mother's temper. There had probably been good reason for her running off like that.*
"...all right."
*After an awkward pause, he cleared his throat and outstretched his hand.*
"We were not properly introduced. I am Genghis Khan."

"Ruby," *she said in the same whisper as before, awkwardly putting her tiny hand in his massive one.*

*Genghis shook it gently, but for a bit longer than was necessary. He just wasn't sure what came after. Finally, he realized her.*
"Well...yes. It's nice to make your acquaintance."
*He swallowed, searching the floor for a hint on how how best to converse with a child.*
"Are things right with us now?"

"Yeah..."
*A sudden thought struck her.*
"Do you like Barbies?"
*Emily bit back a sporfle and quietly tiptoed back down the stairs, knowing that it was safe now to leave Genghis with the girl.*

*Genghis frowned, not noticing Emily's exit.*
"I do not know...Barbies."

*Ruby went to her closet and hauled out a box containing a number of plastic dolls and the clothes that went with them.*
"I'm Barbie," *she said imperiously, taking hold of the blonde doll.* "Do you wanna be Skipper or Teresa?"

*Genghis arched his brow, not understanding.*
"Be them? Who are they?"

"You PLAY with them!" *she said as though explaining things to a much younger child.*
"See, Barbie's having a party, and all her friends are coming!" *she began to dress up Barbie in a purple dress.* "What will Teresa wear?" *she asked, shoving the naked Hispanic doll into Genghis' hand.*

*Genghis frowned as he took the doll, examining it. He looked at her Barbie and back to the one he held again. But they didn't seem to do anything. He cleared his throat.*
"Um...a dress?"

"Which one?" *Ruby beamed, offering him the cornucopia of micro-sized fashions to choose from.*

"Umm..."
*Genghis's head was already starting to hurt. He pointed randomly to something orange and frilly.*
"That one."

Ew.
*Ruby shrugged and handed him the dress. It was his choice. Even if it was a bad one.*

*Genghis held the dress and looked between it and Ruby.*
"Now what?"

"Now they have a party," *she said, looking at him strangely.*
"...are you..." What was the word Mummy used?
"...batshit?"
