[This is Elicia, looking ashamed, puffing out her cheeks; whelp, she dun did it. She stole. She committed a crime and would surely be locked up in the tunnels for life, grow a beard, make friends with the rats there. Yes. Especially with the discovery of the bag of goods in her closet. For a week she ate nervously at dinner, stopped her mom from putting clothes away before hiding the bag further back, under some blankets. She paced by the door, hand on chin, brow furrowed. She tossed and turned, dreaming of the stolen things hopping out to confront her. Awake in a cold sweat, pleading with the stars to unburden her from this paaaaaain.

HER SHAME WAS STRONG AND HER HEART HEAVY.

So here she is.]

Um... A while ago, I... took some people's things. I-I didn't mean to! I don't know why I did it--I thought I was a really cool thief who stole for good reasons! But I guess I wasn't really and it was all in my head... I have all the stuff still, though. Right here!

[She lets the camera pan over all the things she's stolen. Yep, look at all that stuff.]

I snuck out and took these, a-and I feel real bad about it. But if you come over, I can give it back! Mama and papa says that's the right thing to do, always, to give back anything you take...

I'm sorry! Really, really, really, really sorry! I'll make it up to everyone, I promise!

((ooc: stuff stolen is here for reference! thanks for all the volunteers you can still sign up for that if you wanna and then reply to this post, if it interests you and you thought you missed out. |D))

[... Oh.

Oh no, he didn't quite anticipate that response.

Alright... he's going to try and lighten his voice a little. He's not going to hurt you, little girl, really... though you shouldn't be so cute.]

Uh... w-well, I... thank you. For... cleaning it.

... But you didn't clean my house after, uh... knocking over... things.

((OOC: For the record, it was actually his younger self who messed up his house. He's just completely oblivious.))

[she squints at the screen

dude your face is so hairy]

U-um... I didn't mess up your house, promise! I just took the mirror.

I only messed up one house before, but that was 'cus he broke two whole promises to me!

[... Alright, a little bit of confusion at that last statement. But it's mostly for the first part.] You... you didn't?

Nuh-uh! I was a very clean thief!

Someone else musta' messed up your house, mister!

... Oh. Well, I-I, uh...

... B-but you... have my mirror?

Oh, definitely, definitely! I can give it back to you if you wanna' come over...!

Alright. [He bounds his way to the door before... wait, hold on. Coming back to the journal.] Where do you live?

I'm at House 23. Mama's gonna be here with me, so everything's in really good hands.

R-right. 23... [He points in the direction to remind himself and he heads out of the house. A few minutes later and Elicia should hear the hardy rapping of Beast's knuckles on the door. He doesn't mean to make it sound so loud, really.]

[AND YET-!

A short six-year-old slowly opens the door and peeps through the crack worriedly.]

...

Hello-! Are you... um... the very hairy person who needed their mirror?

[He straightens up and growls slightly at that - who are you calling "hairy", little girl? - wait, Beast, little girl... try to be calm.] I... e-eeh, uh... [He decides to just be quiet and nod... what do you do with small people exactly?]

[She swings the door open when he stutters along, taking his hand and putting the wrapped-up mirror in it; with the other hand, she moves his opposite hand to sit atop the item.] There! I'm really sorry for taking it!

[She smiles up--he's not that scary. She's seen scarier. That's just one odd thing in Luceti, ain't it?]

Protect it good, okay? It's your precious thing to take care of!

[His eyes widen in surprise as she takes his hand - that was sudden. She's really not afraid? He takes a brief look at her before unwrapping the mirror... yes, that is definitely his mirror. And it's untainted, good.

He looks at her again... she's... really smiling at him? He's not used to children smiling at him, he'd think they'd be too scared of him... but this... this girl isn't. That... for some reason makes him feel all fuzzy inside.]

I... thank you, uh... [Little girl? Did she give him a name?]

Elicia! I'm Elicia! What's your name?

I... [Still taken aback by her childlike enthusiasm, he stumbles a little in his response.] B... B-Beast.

Beast? That's a kinda' funny name, but I like it! Do you like cookies, Mr. Beast? I can give you some to apologize for your mirror, if you're hungry!

[Y-yes, he knows it's a "funny name" - wait, cookies? Beast likes cookies.] S-sure.

Alright! Just stay riiight here--I'll bring you some!

[WOOSH SHE'S GONE. Just play the Jeopardy music until she's back a moment later with a little see-through baggy with heart and star-shaped cookies in them. Sugar. 8D]

Here you go, Mr. Beast! A t--[wait how did it go again]--a token of my apologies!!

[Pff, a moment is fine, he's just spending the time standing awkwardly and examining the house, he's not too bored. Oh, but those cookies are much more interesting... and very tasty-looking. He takes the baggy without hesitation, instinctively pleased by the formality if only because it reminds him of home.] Th-thank you.
