4th Teddy Bear [Action][Forward-dated to daytime]

[A relatively normal day, so far. Elicia'd been coloring up pictures of pirates (fire-breathing lions were soooo last week) and was generally relaxing in her new setting. Lots of new friends and happy times! But as she finished up Mr. Pirate's peg-leg, she happened to notice, by chance, something out the apartment's windows...

A
small bird limping across the grass outside!

Well, leaving it certainly wouldn't do... It'll only take a second to go see and it's close by, so it'sokay!—besides, it looks like it could rain in a little bit... She has to make sure the little critter wasn't stuck out during a drizzle...

So Elicia leaves the apartment and rushes down the stairs, slip-on shoes click-clacking all the way. She can see the bird in the distance trying to flap a mangled wing, and runs toward it... which is, in hindsight, a bad idea, because it just darts into the brush. She continues for a few seconds until she's in a little clearing, where soft frenzied chirps meet her ears.

A tree! Over there~!

She climbs its jutting roots and looks into a hole to find baby birds, all chirping and fat... like their mama? Aaah, but that means mama bird was missing! Was it really the one she'd chased earlier? Well, she'll just sit and admire the babies for now while waiting for any sign of said mama birdy, whenever you feel like bumping into her.]

Oh...

[She still doesn't seem that convinced but Kyrie does come closer, putting her hands on the tree and, probably after a few seconds of mental "you can do this" pep-talking, manages to pull herself up onto the branch to join you after a few minutes.]

Ah, n-nice to meet you, Elicia! I'm Kyrie! [However Kyrie doesn't state her age though because...erm, it's hard to explain.]

I do! I think they m-might even be my favorite animal. W-what about you?

R-Really? You w-wouldn't mind me coming over to y-your place?

[Is it obvious that she's never had friends that were girls close to her apparent age?]
