Hi! I'm Doctor Eli—u-uhm, Doctor Hughes!! But everyone calls my papa Hughes, s-so don't mix us up! Maybe it should be Doctor Elicia! Do you think that's okay? 'Cause I know everyone calls lots of teachers and doctors by their lastest name, but I don't really like that as much as using normal names!

[Hmmm... O-OH, right—]

I've been learning about how to be a good doctor! So I'm gonna teach about stuff, so I can learn and get better at being a doctor; I think that's what I'm gonna be when I'm a growed-up!

[She'll proceed to whip out her pad of colorful construction paper to show this:

... Yep. She points to him—specifically, his face.]

This is where you have a brain! It thinks for you, and that's where aaaall the numbers and letters you know go. But you gotta be careful, 'cause if you bump your head you could get dizzy and lose some numbers, and that's not good, okay? And here's where your heart is! It keeps your blood warm! And it's how you love people!

And this is where your funny bone is! You gotta be careful not to hit it, 'cause even if it makes you laugh lots, you'll probably get a bruise. If you get a bruise you should find me, and I'll heal it all better, promise. [Hmmm, what else, what else] If you hurt your bone real real bad, make sure you get it put straight, or else it'll hurt and hurt and you won't be able to use pencils and paper no more.

Your tummy's where you keep your food, and if you get sick, you should feed your tummy medicine.

[... A beat. And she's studying that poster of hers INTENSELY.]

... O-oh!!

[She leans out of view, and scribbles something. When she pops back up with the picture, you'll find that the four-fingered drawing now has five fingers on each hand. She giggles at that.]

You don't only have that many fingers always. But some people might, so you never ever know!

Does anyone have questions? I can answer them!

O-oh! And big sis, I gotta have a babing-suit real soon! Isn't it gonna get sunny? We all gotta go to the beach!

[And her voice fades out at the end, while she's closing the journal, to go see Winry and papa concerning her shopping for beach-going things. Because we need beach stuff, papa. 3:^(

Following her doctor's video, Elicia'll be in the Rockbell front yard as usual, playing around with her toys. Of course, when her ball gets stuck in that tree over there, she knows what must be done. BRB scaling this tree over here... ooonly to get stuck in it. She sits with her ball in one hand and a tree branch in the other, frowning down at the ground. How to get herself out of this one...

Geez, the last tree climbing wasn't so bad, huff. :|

If you DO walk by, you might notice a little girl turned away from you, stuck in a tree, talking to... the air? Huh?]

So then I just closed my eyes and sang songs, and I wasn't even scared of the dark no more, 'cause I wasn't even looking at it and it wasn't all quiet 'cause I was singing...!

((ooc: replying a little bit tonight, and then tomorrow after a harrowing driver's test :'|))

... Ooooh... that's right...

What should I do, big bro?

You could try climbing down. I bet you could do it.

Or! You can come down with me.

U-uum... do you think I can? By myself?

I don't think I'm a good climber yet...

Alright, how about this:

I'll climb down right before you. So if you fall, I'll be there to catch you!

[She seems to consider this for a moment, and nods.]

Okay...! That's a good idea!

[Thata girl] Yosh, here I go!

[He climbs down slowly, with sure footing until he's only a few feet below the branch. And there he'll wait for Elicia to start the first part of her descent]

You can start down now, Elicia-chan~!

[H-hokay... I can do this...!

She closes her eyes tight and looks around with her foot for a place to put it on a lower branch. Clearly she's never had tree-climbing lessons. :|a]

... Neh, you should have your eyes open for this.

[Does he know her eyes are closed? Not exactly. But Wandering Foot Syndrome is the sign of an inexperienced climber.]

Keep a firm grip, but also look down for a place to put your foot.

[MEEP]

R-right! But it's kinda scary...!

[She does open her eyes, though, and finds a nice spot to keep her foot! Her shoe makes a faint skuffing noise as she lowers herself onto that one branch lower than the other and clings to it, huffing.]

I'm doing it, big bro!!

Yes, you really are! [Sanji... hasn't moved at all. Noooot yet. If she manages to lower enough down another branch or so, then he'll get going]

Think you can handle some more?

[She nods, determined. SHE CAN DO THIS!! Except she slips and kicks her feet for a moment before recollecting herself and climbing down to the next branch. That's got to at least be a B-, right?

So close... She looks down and beams a little.]

... I'm almost down all by myself!

[If only Sanji had pom poms for this momentous occasion. Sadly, his cheers will have to suffice]

Just a little mooooooore~!

[Perhaps a little too excited, Sanji. She scurries a few inches to the side, and then promptly loses her grip on the tree limb to fall toward the ground—at least it's only a few feet, this time around! 8D

She stumbles back onto her butt, beaming a little while she just falls backward into the grass with her dress hem aflutter. Giggling now, because that was the most independent thing she's done in a while. |D]

I DID IT!

[Almost worried there for a sec, when she takes the fall, but her giggling sets him at ease and he starts grinning again

;; He's so proud.]

Elicia-chwan did it~!!

[She's already excitedly back on her feet at the exclamation. That tree was tall, and she totally climb in and out of it! She'll take the time to give Sanji a very thankful hug at the hip.]

Thanks, big bro! You helped me climb all by myself!

[Hug = returned!] Oh, I barely did anything! [Just moral support. 8'D]

What are you gonna do with your new freedom, huh?

Uuuuum....

[Hm. Good question. She smiles up.]

What does big bro think I should do?
