[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.]

[Hm. Making a list of things to be spooked about maaaay not be the best idea given the current situation. So.]

Well, whatever they are, I'm sure once we've got these lights in place they won't even think about coming near. How does that sound?

That sounds great!

...

And then we can build a fort!

[See my skills? Get you into the light finding thing and then BAM, expectations to meet!]

[He should be trying to get you to go back to sleep, buuuuut you have him right under your thumb, what else is new.]

Of course! Maybe we'll have time for a few stories, too. No fort is complete without stories.

Yeah! But what kindsa' stories should we do?

[Not scary stories. Or stories scary in the slightest. Let's avoid those.]

Adventure stories, princess stories, pirate stories...

...

How 'bout a princess pirate adventure story?

[And this is why you are the most amazing daughter ever.]

That's perfect! I'll be the best story ever told in Luceti, I'll bet.

[And back towards her room they go!]
