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.]

[Terra is heading home from the library...or at least she was, but that plan is soon derailed. The chirping earns an idle glance, and that's when she spots the little girl climbing. Immediately, she rushes over.]

Elicia?

What are you doing?

[Kyrie is passing through when she notices Elicia in the tree, so have another small girl looking up at you.]

Um, w-why are you up there in the tree?

A bird?

Did the bird go back into the tree? Is it going to be okay?

R-really? [Oh my gosh baby birds do want. But then she frowns upon realizing something.]

...B-but I don't know how to climb the tree.

W-Well, we better find it before it gets hurt even more. I'll help!

[Terra winces when she jumps, relieved that she doesn't make the girl fall.]

What are you doing? Do you need some help?

[identity profile] nightsofrain.livejournal.com 2010-09-23 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
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.]

[a little blond girl climbing up a tree to save (?) birds... this is almost something straight out of his childhood, as is the memory of Kotori almost falling out of said tree. he rushes over]

W-what are you doing up there?

Hey! Are you stuck up there?

[First off, that bird doesn't look very happy to see anyone. 8[ It's linefacing at us.

And expert tree climber or no, papa isn't the only one who's gonna get a heart attack from seeing this scene. Sanji slows to a stop on his way past the apartment and...]


Elicia-chan? [Young lady, what do you think you're doing?]

[...!!] Elicia?

[Yes, much better. And you can tell from the stricken expression just how much better he feels. DX]

Sh--

I mean... ah, yes, I would! So just stay right there! [calm laugh really] I'm coming over.

[Child, please do not move as Sanji double times it over there]
