30th Teddy Bear [Action/Written]

[Action // Thursday, September 22nd]

[It's been eight days since her father left, and despite her searching, she hasn't found him. But this was Luceti. He was here even though he couldn't be back home, so obviously he'd just reappear here again, like mama did! With this knowledge firmly in place, and when school would begin--after a few days of staying home, courtesy of a worried mother--she would carefully sneak around after class was over to survey the forest nearby the building. Not enter it. But listen and squint into the dimness of it.

He might be there. They don't know. Just because all of his stuff went away... maybe the robots took it all, too!

Sleeping in mother's room is a must, for now. For both of them. It makes it a little easier, having someone to hug in the mornings or bitter earlier hours.

She answers the door with a determined sort of look on her face, but it falls instantly when she sees who it is. It's not your faults, really. She's still happy to see you, and the small, shy smile a few moments later says as much. It's just... not what she was hoping for. And then, sitting outside became a habit. Well, it was always important on her list of things to do—to sit on the porch and draw or play. Playing can wait. Just for a few more days. Papa might show up. Gotta stay vigilant. No time for journals, or anything like that, right?

... M-maybe just a little journaling. But nothing new. No... she can go back to old entries and look at them again. Any tears? Well... She cried a little, when it first happened. But crying now would be bad. Shikamaru said it, he told her before when she ripped her doll:

Crying didn't fix anything.

So. She would try not to cry. Even if it was... growing harder not to.]

Well, between the two of us, I was a little worried too.
avaricious: (Disappointment)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-03 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
All of the strong heroes did.
avaricious: (Don't you think?)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-04 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Just a little. [He looks back down at her.] Oh, I thought you should know, you won't be able to marry me when you're older. [Just going to rip off that band-aid now.]
avaricious: (Cool and collected)

I'll be emperor soon. But I'll only get to have one wife. So I have to very careful who I pick.
avaricious: (Your new friend)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-07 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I like all kinds, of course.
avaricious: (Join forces with me!)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-09 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
That does seem to be the case. I'll have to learn to be pickier, won't I?
avaricious: (Xing things)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-11 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
You're right. I'd hardly be an emperor at all, would I?
avaricious: (Dinner bill)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-12 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's not exactly how it works, but... oh well.]

That wouldn't look good at all, would it?
avaricious: (That's just great)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-13 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. Just like right now. [He'll go ahead and give her a little head pat though.] You'd make a pretty convincing princess too.
avaricious: (Confidence)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-14 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
A knight-princess? Now that's what I call ambitious. What will you do when you become one?
avaricious: (Dinner bill)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-16 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a very admirable thing, Elicia. Your mother must be proud of you.
avaricious: (Making the choice)

[personal profile] avaricious 2011-10-17 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can't really comment on that. His experience with parents and their children is... limited.]

You're still young. You've got a while go to go before you have to fight anything with swords or stuff.
avaricious: (Confidence)

That's the spirit! You'll be a great warrior doctor. [Just like... his sister!]
