Everyone - everything indeed - deserved a name. His car had a name of her own and Richie would claim that she had a personality as well, with a temper that you had to be careful not to get on the wrong side of. The little blond girl currently demolishing possibly the most unhealthy meal he could conceivably give a child her age was no exception and really Richie should have thought things through a little more clearly. It was energy though, fats and Richie had to keep telling himself that, had to remind himself she needed every scrap of food and energy that she could get; he just wished he'd maybe gotten something a little more healthy and a little less likely to get a glare from social services when they found out.
Carefully, he eased the wardrobe door open, reaching in and pulling out a blue jacket. It was one of his favourites, warm, comfortable and often a source of mild mannered arguments and exasperation in the Green house house, as his wife hadn't been able to stand it. So she claimed at least, saying the shade of blue was all wrong for him, and she was an artist, she saw these things so much more clearly than other people did and it was a hideous coat. Richie had always been rather fond of it nevertheless, enjoying the mild arguments they would have about it. It was comfortable, it was warm and it was for that reason that he carefully left it on the edge of the bed and moved back to his original seat. "It's for you," Richie told the little girl when he was seated, not wishing to startle her by offering it while closer. "Keep you warm Kiddo."
