1st Teddy Bear [Text...?]

[A New Feather is currently hiding out in an old hollowed out log in the forest, cold and very upset. After all, it's not everyday that someone ends up in some strange new place! And with the angel wings on her back, she can't help but wonder what the heck just happened. After a very tiring hike through a very big forest (to a five-year-old, at least), she'd decided to stop and, uh, wait for help. Because people would definitely come for her! And she shouldn't be afraid while she waited, because she was a big girl.

Besides, mama says when you're upset or worried, just do what you really enjoy doing... A-and she did have a cool new book...

If you happen to look in yours, you may notice some very wonderful artwork spamming your pages, looking a little something like this:]

[Welcome to Elicia-ville. Population: lots of funny-looking flowers and animals.]

[She's excited to not be alone anymore, as demonstrated by leaping on and walking across that old log. The direction he points is soon on her radar and she follows beside him with his hat on.]

So you use those for shooting bad guys, right?

[She's reminding him of some of the younger kids he used to hang around with when he was a Freedom Fighter. Longshot smirks a little and nods.]

Wow, that's so cool! I wanna fight bad guys when I get older, too. 'Cause that's what papa did--and he helped a lot of people.

[Sparkly eyes is a-go!]

Will you should me how to shoot arrows when I'm big?!

[She's very aware of the 'you're too young' response, so the last two words were always attached to her more extravagant requests.]

[SO MUCH LIKE THE YOUNGER KIDS. Why so cute?

He scracthes the back of his neck nervously for a second. Well, she won't be old enough for a few years yet, and either one of them could be gone before that time. If not, she may have lost interest by that point. No harm done here. After another second he nods.]

[See icon for wondrous reply!]

Then you can teach me when I'm this many?! That's pretty old!

[And she holds up... seven whole fingers! Come on, Longshot, that's a pretty good deal, right? Two years is a long, long wait, and her perception of time is sad!]

[Well considering how young he was... Hrrrm.

Okay, compromise. He holds up eight fingers.]

[She pauses for a moment. Considers this bargain.]

[And then holds up seven fingers and bends the eighth, one eye shut and tongue out in concentration. Counting was hard work. :(]

[You drive a hard bargain, kiddo. All right, fine. He sighs, and gives her a thumbs up.

He is so grateful Jet isn't here after all. He'd probably tell him he's going soft.]

[Heck yeah, this is the best first day in a creepy forest ever. She smiles wide and continues on quietly for a little bit, but she's too excited for her own good.]

If I learn really fast, can I have an umbrella hat, too?

[He doesn't mind it at all, though it does take him a second to figure out what she means by umbrella hat. Longshot wipes some of the rain out of his face and nods again.

Honestly, who wouldn't want such an awesome hat?]

[She will be very distraught if they make her take it off at school.]

[Speaking of rain—]

Hu—CHU~!

[That was the squeaky sneeze of a little kid.]

It must be hard living out here! 'Cause it's always so cold and there's no lights when it's dark! Isn't it scary??

[He shakes his head. Then again, he grew up in a forest.] It's not always cold or scary.

[It just is right now. Hrrm. He takes off the little cape he has around his shoulders and pauses long enough to give it to her. It's not very wet just yet, so hopefully it'll provide a little warmth for her.]

[OOC: Saw the thread with Al. If you need me to jump in at any point later on, just say the word. |D]

[She stops and looks at the cape, and then back to Longshot.]

But you'll get cold!

[ooc: Got it! I was gonna let this thread go on and then let him threadjack it soon, if it's all good with you! ^^]

[He waves a hand, then pulls at the long sleeves of his clothes. He'll be fine.]

[OOC: Works for me!]

[She hesitates, but finally takes the cape and wraps herself up ~~proper cape wearing technique what there is no such thing~~]

Thank you! Lots!

[There is the occasional sound of thunder... She'll just make sure to stay very close by him. And cling to his sleeve, just a little. Nervous? Very. She does not dig these loud noises... And she must think of something else to bring up; this silence-followed-by-booms simply will not do!]

Doesn't your mama wonder why you're in the forest?

Edited 2010-08-29 09:56 (UTC)

[Longshot pats her arm when she clings to him. Ignore that he stiffened just a little at that question. >.>

He shakes his head in answer.]

O-oh.

...

You don't have a papa, neither?

[ooc: You can blame three-year-old Elicia and her d_m buddy Kamina for that one!]

[That manages to wipe off the sad look on his face at least, leaving nothing more than his usual expression ~~for he is the master of linefaces~~. He shakes his head again.]

[OOC: fffff this is adorable <3]

[She pats his forearm like an understanding counselor. It's a tough world out there for missing-parent-kids...]

That's okay. My papa's gone... but when we find mama I'll ask if I can share her. She's really nice, and she'll make us pies, and she'll read books to us...

[ooc: I'm still not entirely sure which one of the two is more mature, her or Kamina? :|a]

[And such a disturbing number of such children does Luceti have... He manages a small smile at that, though it soon turns to a frown. Spirits, he does not want to have to be the one to explain to Elicia that her mom might not be here. @__@]

You think she's here then?

I—
