My, my, what's happening here?

Dec 09, 2006 00:07

Any day now the Mansion will be blanketed in snow and festooned with icicles, right on schedule; but for the moment, the lawns are still bare, the wind brisk but not bitter, the air bracing. Conveniently, because something seems to be going on ( Read more... )

Michael has a soft blanket set out (somebody, probably Rohana, found it for him when he poked in to find out what was going on), and on it are many many neatly arranged pairs of shoes. They are of all sizes and designs.

"Oooooh!" Heli says, "Oh, sir! They're pretty!"

(She's barefoot, and her toes are by this time a little red from the chill.)

Michael looks up at her, and then looks at her feet, and then back at her. "You need shoes."

Heli prances a bit, and leans over to look more closely at the shoes. "Do you think?" she says, "I don' wear shoes, mostly."

...Don't confuse him! He reaches out carefully and touches her toes. "They are cold."

Heli laughs. "Your hands are so warm, I guess they are! Okay!"

She crouches down and runs a finger down a shoe. "I dunno, though. What would fit?"

"I will look." He puts both palms over her foot this time, along the length of it, making a shape with his hands. Then he picks a pair off the blanket, a sturdy leather pair with fur inside to keep warm, and dark red stitching on the sides. "Here."

Heli takes them from him. "Oh," she says, "Oh, they're fuzzy - !" as if nothing in the world has ever been quite as wonderful as shoes that are fuzzy inside.

"Do you need a blanket?" she asks, earnestly, "Or a shirt? I'm good at shirts."

three_smiles December 9 2006, 05:11:35 UTC

Michael can't smile, of course, but he exudes warmth at her. "Do you make shirts?"

"Sometimes! For my brother, Percy, mostly."

three_smiles December 9 2006, 05:37:57 UTC

"Is he truly your brother, or is he your brother in Christ?" curiously.

Heli grins. "We have the same Ma and Pa, so we're blood."

three_smiles December 9 2006, 06:00:31 UTC

"Is it good?"

keepyourlamps December 9 2006, 06:07:29 UTC

Heli blinks at him for a moment and then giggles. "Ma always said we were good kids, so!"

three_smiles December 9 2006, 06:16:59 UTC

"Then you are--" Hang on, what word does he want? --aha--! "happy?"

keepyourlamps December 9 2006, 22:19:38 UTC

Heli grins. "We are. Very happy." She tilts her head.

"How about you?"
