Out of the corners of his bright blue eyes, Blink finally spotted some familiar faces: Smiles and D.Ark seemingly deep in discussion. Not caring if he was interrupting, Blink leaped to his feet and scurried over to them, jumping into Smiles' arms. He giggled maniacally, wrapping his little legs around Smiles' waist to keep himself steady in case the clown decided to drop him. 

The clown was the only one who wasn't cold most of the time, so he was the one Blink chose to forcibly adopt as his 'father'. While Chitter preferred the stiffer, more mature D. Ark, what Blink really needed was attention that Mr. Ark was often unwilling to give. 

"Papa!! Où tu étais?!?" He cried, nuzzling his face into Smiles' neck and rubbing the clown's shoulders possessively. "J'étais si seul....Ne m'aimes-tu pas?!? Tu aimes mieux Chitter, n'est-ce pas?!" He started slapping the clown repeatedly across the face, his own face red with inexplicable fury, tears sliding down his little round cheeks.
