25th Teddy Bear [Voice/Action][TWO DAYS]
[[Nighttime; June 23rd]]
[Elicia had had a tough week.
Shuffle, shuffle—the sound of turning blankets and small feet moving back and forth through them. She's been rolling in her sleep for a few minutes now, flipping her hidden journal into a little book tepee, while it records the buzzing air and soft incoherent murmurings of a child dreaming. They're not happy dreams, after a while, and it takes but a moment before she's wide awake and horrified and crawling under her blankets with her mouth in a shaky near-crying line. The journal. That's right.
She reaches over and opens it up all the way, unable to see anything in the dark. Her voice is watery and lined with a sort of innocent, hurt desperation when she speaks.]
[Voice]
Please tell me a story. I wanna hear stories, if anyone... wants to talk... I like them a lot. I—I promise I'll go back to sleep, but I just wanna hear one...
[Pretty, pretty please...
But despite stories, sometime in the night, she rises up from her bed and patter-pitters quickly into her parents' room. Scary, they're too scary—and they could be real. Because she's seen scary real things like it before. And the last thing she wanted was a blue-eyed woman slowly creaking out of her closet, like she kept imagining, over and over and over again...]
[[Daytime; June 24th]]
[It was a cold snap, today. Elicia wore her poofy pink jacket for the occasion. Truth be told, she's had a very tiring night of trying to sleep, and she'd failed at it fairly well. There were a mesh-up of things. Scary things. She didn't want to draw any of them, so she decided on focusing her attention to playing. By the end of her short-lived playtime outside, she's laying on her arm on the front steps of her house, the fake pink sword Law gave her still clamped in her hand.
A good nap. There was nothing scary... Just good. That was important. It's a good thing children bounce back well enough, even if only for a while, because she's got a content air about her later on in the day. Anyone who wants to visit, now's a great time to; she'll be drawing funny circles all over the ground outside with a stick. Clapping her hands and smacking them. And nothing happens. :|
But she sure as hell is pretending something's happening.]
Bam!! Now you can't stand against my dirt alchemy!! [throws dirt up with her hands at her big teddy bear >:^(
HA, screw you, teddy, you've got dirt on your head!]
You'd better give up soon, or else I'll have to use my water attack next!!
[AND THEN YOU'LL BE MUDDY!!!]
((ooc: Just make it clear which day you're replying to and all that. I have faith in you. |Db))

[During the day 8|]
...not quite expecting to find a snoozing Elicia on the front steps, though.]

Nami gives an uncertain look at the front door. Then she sits down quietly beside the sleeping five year old. Maybe she's having a good dream.
...maybe not. She'll tuck a few bits of hair away from Elicia's face and then sit, one warm hand on her shoulder. She doesn't really wanna wake you up. Though she probably will in another minute or two.]
no subject
[:|a bad dream or good dream. It depends on if there was a tummy ache involved, right?]
no subject
Sleep on, small child. |D Nami'll just. Wait at your leisure.]

I'm okay... I was just really sleepy, and when I was playing with my sword I went to sleep 'cause I couldn't keep my eyes open no more.

[Well, i-it's good that you're feeling okay, though.]
Did you come over to say hi, big sis?
[yeah, you're not fooling her]
no subject
I came to see how you were doing.
no subject
[See? It's still clasped in her hand. 3:^D]

[...and herein, there is awkward silence. :| Her small talk is exhausted.]
no subject
Are you thirsty from walking? I can make you some chocolate milk, if you want!
no subject
An Elicia-made chocolate milk? I'd love one.
no subject
Grabbing your hand now, 'kay thanks.]
I have strawberry mix stuff, too! Didja' ever try strawberry milk? It's really good!
