[That did reassure Trip! He smiled, looking more at ease now.]
Thank you, Gold... [Very softly as he watched him contentedly, head tilted to a side.]
You're one of my first ever friends too.
[There were people Trip exchanged a few words with or played with once or twice at school, he'd be inclined to think of them as friends, but no one he spent time with nearly every day or who went with him anywhere else by choice, not by mere circumstance throwing them together... but Trip was still young enough not to tell the difference.
He did, however, recognize that being with Gold was different, so he thought of him as a best friend! Only he felt too shy to say it.
Maybe he could make him a gift to thank him for all his kindness...
He finished his popsicle, feeling more energetic now, eyes brightening and kicking his legs a bit.]
