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.]

She's just asleep. See?

[Terra crouches down to examine her.]

Oh, that wing must hurt....

[Time for a little healing magic.]

[Terra smiles, but shakes her head.]

Some, but not all of it. This I learned from home.

Now....

[Very gently, she picks up the sleeping bird.]

Let's return her to her family.

[Terra heads over to the baby bird and places their mother among them.]

She'll wake up soon.

Sometimes! I don't actually see a lot of people hurt around here, but if I ever did, I would heal them.

[Terra can't help it; she blushes.]

You really think so?

[Chuckle.]

Do any of them have green hair, too?

[Blushing a little more. She's not used to such compliments.]

Well, I'm glad you think so.

...I was going to the bakery. Do you want to come? Or...where is your father? I don't want to worry him.

[She nods, solemn.]

Oh, I see. Then I'm sure he'll be missing you.

Okay!

[She beams.]

I'll see you later, Elicia!
