3rd Teddy Bear [Video][Eaaaarly morning of the 15th]

[asobouyo]

[Elicia is totally grown-up. I mean, she's five whole years old! And as such, she of course needed her own room with her own little bed. One little issue: she doesn't quite enjoy the heavy rain and thunderstorm outside. She has made a resolute promise to herself that she wouldn't run like a bat out of hell into her father's room, even if the noises and colors scare her silly. And like all little kids, she doesn't realize that promises like these are silly, because that's what papas are for anyway, right?

The journal opens quietly as she hides under her blankets in her sleeping gown, frowning into her hands.

And yes, it's about 1 in the morning. Some of you must be up, right?]

When you're scared, what do you do to make it all better?

[She makes a squeaky noise when another loud boom of lightning flashes.]

I-I mean, if someone is scared... and stuff...

Ooooh...

...Y-yeah, I guess I'm safe...

But what if a giant ligh-lightening bolt—what if it hits the apartments and breaks the roof! Then it would come inside!!

[You've gotta be prepared for these possibilities!!]

[all7seas]

Aye; suppose then the house would catch fire...

[asobouyo]

[W-wibble! Someone sounds a little frantic!]

O-oh no!! What can I do if it happens?! I can't let anyone get hurt, and fire's really hot!

[all7seas]

[A snort.]

So many heroes in Luceti, they'd have you out and doused in a moment, sweetheart. No worries, you. Now. Sleep.

[asobouyo]

[Tooootally ignoring that 'sleep' part]

Heroes~? Like in the storybooks and stuff? The kind that fight big monsters and save princesses and ride horses??

[all7seas]

Aye. Like that.

[Stupid hero types.]


Now. Sleep.

[asobouyo]

But how can I sleep if the lightning and thunder wakes me up?

...

...

Are you a hero, too, mister?

[all7seas]

[There is an irritated growl at this. It's 1am, Sparrow's tired. He might need to make adjustments to get this child to sleep.]

Aye; aye, I'm a hero type, savvy? Won't let a hair on your little golden head come to harm, will I?

Now sleep.

[asobouyo]

...Okay...

[grown-ups and their grouchiness, really~]

But!! Promise you'll be careful, too, cause I don't want your house to get on fire, either. And if you call me, I'll get water to splash on it!

[all7seas]

Right, right--careful. Uncle Jack's always careful, tiny person. Get tucked up, now, warm-like. And stop chattering.

[asobouyo]

All right... Goodnight, Mr. Uncle Jack.
