26th Teddy Bear [HORRIFYING ACCIDENTAL VIDEO!!!]

[What a pleasant day... The birds are chirping, the breeze is gentle, the sun is sunny—

CHILDREN ARE SCREAMING D8]

KYAAAAA, PAPA, MAMA!!

[What, that isn't a normal Elicia post? The journal is practically flung across the kid's room as the sound of panicked footfalls rush around the general vicinity. There's the thud of an apple, as it rolls into view in the screen, and then a teary cry of disbelief soon after. PANIC PANIIIIC!!]


Was it s'pposed to fall out?! It's gone! The apple took my tooth! My whole tooth!

[It's really gone! One of her bottom incisors is gone! Now her smile isn't as toothy! What should she do?!]

I-I'll ask the tooth fairy to put it back! She'll put it back!

[The camera is angled, but it at least picks up a pigtailed little girl rushing to her bed and stuffing the little white tooth hastily under her pillow. And then she sits anxiously at her bedside, watching and waiting, waiting...! She checks it, only to find it's still there! Okay, maybe she just needs to wait a little more! ... IT'S STILL THERE. D':

/SCREAM

She finally addresses the journal itself, cheeks red.]


How do I put back a tooth?!

((sort of babysitting
heh, but I should be able to go tag-crazy in 1-2 hours 8D))

Yes, when I was a child. [He cannot remember much about his experience with loose teeth - there were many other concerns vying for his attention at the time.]

[Shuts his eyes for a moment and crosses his arms, looking rather dignified and grave while sifting through his memory.]

...I can only remember one incident.

I had been sparring with another student after class, and they had struck my face. My tooth must have been very loose at the time; it came out easily, and that was the end of it.

I attended a school for the martial arts.

[He both affirms and corrects her, gently. The purpose of learning them was not to be encouraged to aggressively engage others, as 'fighting' seemed to imply, but to be prepared and in-control in combat situations and to forge one's physical, mental, and spiritual strength.]

We would often practice techniques with one another. While injuries were common, they were rarely serious. [Bruising and soreness, generally.] One became accustomed to it.

I am not strong. [Not as strong as he feels he could or should be, at least.] There is still much I must overcome.

[To keep things simpler between them - for he is aware he is speaking to a child - he offers a proverb that is never far from his mind. The magic of it is that it explains everything and yet remains vague, all at once.]

The largest room in the world is the room from improvement.

[He cracks an irrepressible grin, chuckling. This adorable little girl has succeeded in making him laugh a little.]

Elicia; it is a beautiful name.

[He says musingly. Then, his mirthful smile begins to fade.]

My name is Goemon.

[A lopsided smile returns fleetingly at Elicia's commentary.]

Yes; I am what is called a new feather.

I have already found a home. But, thank you.

[He won't ever ask for either, but, he recognizes her generosity nonetheless.] ...Thank you kindly.
