4th Teddy Bear [Action][Forward-dated to daytime]

[asobouyo]

[A relatively normal day, so far. Elicia'd been coloring up pictures of pirates (fire-breathing lions were soooo last week) and was generally relaxing in her new setting. Lots of new friends and happy times! But as she finished up Mr. Pirate's peg-leg, she happened to notice, by chance, something out the apartment's windows...

A small bird limping

[a little blond girl climbing up a tree to save (?) birds... this is almost something straight out of his childhood, as is the memory of Kotori almost falling out of said tree. he rushes over]

W-what are you doing up there?

[asobouyo]

I found baby birds, but I was waiting to see if I could find the mama-it had a hurt wing! [She motions her arm in the air to mimic this mother bird.]

Have you seen it, mister??

[broken_messiah]

With a hurt wing...? [looks around] Where did you see it?

[asobouyo]

I-I followed it here, and then it just went away somewhere! I've been looking for it all over...

[broken_messiah]

I see.

Well, stay there and don't move. I'll see if I can find it... [and looks around]

[asobouyo]

[O-okay! She sits and fiddles quietly in the tree while the babies chirp and look so cuuuute~

And suddenly, she sees the brush move!]

Mister, mister! Over there!

[She points excitedly over to it.]

[broken_messiah]

Where? [looks at where she's pointing then goes over quietly] Yes. I see it... be quiet now or you'll scare her away.

[asobouyo]

[She hushes as soon as he tells her so, as the bird head pokes out of the brush. And just stares. With such a lineface. B|]

[broken_messiah]

[he approaches slowly]

Hi. Are you alright? I'm here to help you... I can heal that wing for you.

[asobouyo]

[It just sits and. Linefaces. So very disapprovingly.]

It looks so grumpy all the time...

[broken_messiah]

[That is one very grumpy bird... he puts a hand palm up on the ground] Let me help you. I mean no harm.

[asobouyo]

[The lineface bird stares for a minute, and then. Bounces forward toward the hand. Very grumpy-like. Don't think she ain't watchin' you, boy. B|]

[broken_messiah]

[sighs a bit and stands up, then he cups her gently with both hands and heals her]

[asobouyo]

[And little birdy goes bye-bye toward the nest after Elicia wriggles herself down the tree trunk.]

A-are you like a magician?!

[broken_messiah]

[he smiles a bit] No, that's just healing magic. Everyone can learn it here.

[asobouyo]

Ooooh, so I can heal birds, too, if I learned how?
