11th Teddy Bear [Kinda Accidental but Much Desired]

[asobouyo]

[Elicia had been planning to make a post out of curiosity for what was happening around her, but... looks like she's gotten struck with experiment fever as well.]

Papa, papa!!

[The screen is black, and behind that quiet but familiar cry is a 'mew!' of worry. The journal shifts and then turns up entirely, knocked off whatever it had been perched on, to show a fuzzy ear and most of Elicia's room... which is followed by a fuzzy kitten face. Is that the edge of a dress on its head? It most certainly is.]

Papa, I'm tiny! [meuuw!] I didn't do anything, promise! But I'm really tiny!

...I have paws!

[She would find this exciting, if not for the fact that... well, it's harder to move around as a kitten than anyone would think. She's wobbling and swaying and side-stepping all over the place.]

[Huh?]

Oh yes it is---

[Did that cat just talk?]

[ooc: also lets assume this takes place before saber gets changed herself because I forgot about it 8|;;; ]

Hi! I'm Elicia!

B-but I'm not a little girl anymore, and I don't know why...

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Please stay calm - I'm sure something strange is happening in the village that's causing this. It shouldn't be permanent.

[asobou-kitten.livejournal.com]

Per-mi-nant? What's that mean?

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

It means 'will not last forever'.

[asobou-kitten.livejournal.com]

S...So, I won't stay like this? I'll be a little girl again?

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

Yes. I am sure on that. There's no need to be frightened.

[asobou-kitten.livejournal.com]

Okay... I'll be really really brave, promise!



...What kinda kitty is yours, miss?

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

I have faith in you, Lady Elicia.

[She smiles] A lion. He is only a small child.

[asobou-kitten.livejournal.com]

Oooh, a lion! But lions are so big! Are they really that tiny when they're babies?

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

Yes. They grow fast, but as children they are no bigger than a house cat.

[asobou-kitty.livejournal.com]

So... whatcha' gonna do when it's a biiiig kitty?

[She stands on her haunches and lifts her paws, as if to reiterate. Y'know, in case 'biiiig kitty' wasn't a clue enough.]

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

[A short giggle.]

I'm not sure. But, he will learn how to feed himself in the Spring. [As in hunt wildlife. But Saber figures the cat is a young child, so there's no need to possibly frighten her.]

[asobou-kitty.livejournal.com]

Oh! Does that mean we'll have a big lion in the forest?!

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. He won't grow that large too soon. [Not that he'll be anywhere near Moro's size.] Lions are not very good for this environment, so he won't always be out in the forest. Maybe the mountains.

[asobou-kitten.livejournal.com]

Lions can live in the mountains? But isn't it real cold, up high like that?

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

It is, but many lions are used to such climates. At least when it gets warmer.

[asobou-kitten.livejournal.com]

...'Cause of their fur?

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm not sure if he will even grow anymore, but if he does I will have to release him into the wild.

[asobou-kitten.livejournal.com]

But that's okay, 'cause you can visit him in the wild, right?
