[He's flattered, Rey. He doesn't even see his response as bolstering her argument--giving a kid two awful influences is better than leaving a kid alone.
Maybe if he gets into the concrete stuff he can convince her. Firo thinks he knows enough from being a kid himself.]
Here stuff like makin' sure he's fed and all is gonna be easy. At his age, we might have to keep people off his back, too. Not fight all his battles for him, obviously, but if he gets snatched by a lotta people who're bigger, that's when we should help out.
Other than that, you kinda just let kids run around and do what they want and make sure they know to back by dark or else. That's what my friends' pop did with us.
