[An hour or so after bed, Elicia hears something creak. It's harmless and probably something like a tree scratching something, or a mouse finding its way. But it sparks a barrage of images within this small child's brain that would probably make a therapist shake their heads. Things like floating objects and scary figures and things under her bed oh god. Acute paranoia tonight, this one. So she speaks in a really low whisper as though she's on a secret mission, hidden up to her ears in blanket. Must be a nice windy winter night.]

Um....

Are ghosts real? They aren't, right? But—But I guess good ghosts are okay! Do those count? Are they real either?

[Her eyes dart from one side of the room to the other, and she's totally expecting something scary to happen on one side or the other. Any minute now. No, no, be brave, there's nothing going on. Nothing at aaaaall. ;~;

Gulp.]

Oh! New Feathers are here, too... huh...

I'm Elicia, and I'm six years o—

[rustle rustle]

Meep!

[...And back under the sheets. Yup.]

Miss is very polite petite, and very respectful. For me you may call me Miss LeBlanc, or Doctor LeBlanc.

I will ensure your blankets are always knotted, your sheets cold!! [There's a long pause, then in a less scary voice,] Did you say flowers?

[F-Ffffff... Elicia, you're so cute. So cute and good at making Miyabi giggle and blush terribly.] I-It's nothing! Everyone from my village can d-do it! Uhm, and I hear it only works if you get the timing right, and use the right skill on the right demon! I'm really not all that special, little sister...b-but thank you. That's very nice of you to say.

[Hnn, baby sister, let me cuddle you into forever. ;~;]

Elicia-chan's exactly right~!

Not only use them, but build them too!

Good! With that attitude, they definitely wont.

Exactly! Ghosts should stay in the forest, anyway. That's their home.

Well, he went to see like the brave warrior he is. [Elicia may or may not be old enough by now to hear the amusement on those two words.]

And what he saw was a small, shadowy figure in the mist, standing by our ship out of the water hammering slowly at its side. Bang... bang... bang.

Is that how you make ghosts go away, too, big bro?

...

W-who was it?

[Don't leave me in suspense, man.]

You know how to build them, too?? You must be real real smart! Are you a scientist?!

Okay!! I'll do my best.

Thanks a lot!

Y-you mean, he can't control it? It's like... having a bad side?

Th-that's... That's right! Flowers! She can turn you into flowers if you mess with me!

Yeah, but not many people can do that here I bet! That makes you extra special!!

[TRUE FACTS!]

Whoa, s-so it was kinda' like... a pirate island?

Okay! We'll work on them! It'll make our houses feel better.

Then... nothing's gonna eat me?

[>_>;;]

Good plan! But do you think you could get some sleep now tonight?

Miss LeeBlanc!! [Sorry, that's about as good as I can manage. Your name is so fancy. :I] If you ever need to know something, I'll ask my papa if he can help you! Promise!

[SHINE SPARKLE SPARKLE

...

oh right]

Um!! I'm Elicia! It's nice to meet you.

Then I'll stay away from the forest, too! Unless I got a really really good flashlight!

Mmmm... I think I can know... since there's no ghosts!

Thank you petite. I appreciate the offer. [Adele chuckles at the pronunciation, warmed by the antics of this child.] You should try to get some sleep now, yes? Little girls need their rest.

Nope! No ghosts! Just the house trying to sing!
