[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.]

They don't mean to frighten you petite. They are just making noise because they are lonely, and want to play, but do not know it is time to sleep.

Oooh... I guess that's true. Ghosts don't gotta sleep, do they?

No, they do not. All you have to do is remind them that you do need to sleep, and tell them to leave you alone, and they shall.

Alright, I'll tell them! And I'll tell them to be a lot more quiet when they play, so other people can sleep good, too!

That is an excellent idea petite. You are such a smart and sweet little girl; I'm sure your parents are proud.

[Uwaaaah, a compliment '///']

W-well, I'm not that smart... my papa's a lot smarter... He's so smart, it was even his job!

If your papa is smart, he is teaching you to be smart too, yes?

His job was to be smart? That is amazing!

Mm! He was a investigator!! He solved lots of stuff!

[Or something like that.]

He solved puzzles and helped people solve their problems? What a wonderful man your father must be. [Especially if he had part in raising such a sweet little girl.]

Yup! He had to work a lot, but he was doing something good for all kinds of people, so it's okay!

That's very grown up of you petite. I am sure he is a kind and helpful man. Perhaps I will come to him if I need help, yes?

Yeah! His name is Maes, but everyone calls him Hughes! I dunno' why, though. I like his first name, too!

It is a way most adults show each other respect, by using their last name. At least that is how it is done where I am from.

[oh man] That sounds right! I understand why people do it, now!

S-should I call you by your last name, too? I say Miss a lot, 'cause that sounds polite...

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

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!

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.

A-alright. I'll sleep, I promise!

Sleep sweet Petite, and have good dreams.
