Woody had been so engrossed in what he was looking for that he hadn't noticed anyone walking up to him. A girl's voice cut into his thoughts, and he gave a startled jump, head whipping around to see who it was. At the same moment, he was gripped with the same uncomfortable feeling of being exposed that every toy felt when people suddenly approached like this, but tried to shake it off for now. It wasn't like he could just go limp and be left alone anymore.
Eyebrows raising, he looked down and saw a young girl who looked around the same age as Rita and Kaworu. (Why were there so many kids here?) His hand was still clutching his chest, but he awkwardly let go as soon as he realized he could still feel the thump thump thump thump of his heart beating against his ribcage.
"Uhhh..." Woody stood up straighter and adjusted the collar of his shirt, trying to recover as smoothly as he could. "No, I just got here today, actually. I'm Woody." This was the fourth time he'd introduced himself, but it didn't feel any less strange for him. And that wasn't even touching on being asked to play a game with her. Not that games themselves were weird, of course -- he was a toy, and it made sense for someone as young as Kairi to want to play something.
"Oh, hey, they've got a checkers board here?" he asked, looking a bit surprised. There had once been a time when he and Slink would play at least one game everyday, back before Buzz even showed up. But that was years ago. These days, they usually had to rely on things like Andy's computer to keep themselves entertained. Or, at least, that was what they'd been doing before--
Woody shook his head and focused his attention back onto Kairi. "But, uh, yeah, sure! Checkers sounds good. I might be kinda rusty, though. It's...been awhile."
