[crazedingly]

[Del doesn't seem to have noticed that she is now in charge, and as usual, her clothes and looks have hardly changed. She's kneeling on a high branch in a tree, trying to catch a butterfly. Every time her fingers come near, it flutters a little further away and lands just out of reach, so she has to keep climbing higher.]

[Sora hasn't noticed yet that he's been subjected to wandering around shirtless, wearing tighter than normal pants, or that he has a collar around his neck with his crown charm dangling from it like a tag--just sees Del, getting REALLY high up there!]

Del!! [He's running over, and looks worried about you.] Be careful!

[crazedingly]

[Waves and scrambles higher, hauling herself up a dangling creeper]

Hello Sora!

[crownedingly]

[He's doing his best to stay generally under where Del is in the tree.] Try not to fall!

[He'll catch you if you do, though.]

[crazedingly]

I don't fall off things! [OOH JUST MISSED DAT BUTTERFLY!]

[crownedingly]

Just be careful, okay? [He doesn't want you to get hurt--you're his friend, Del!]

[crazedingly]

[Just laughs and scrambles higher, reaching for the butterfly and catching it in both hands, holding onto the branch with her bare feet]

Yay! I won again! Do you want to play too, Sora?

[crownedingly]

Won? [Please don't fall Del!]

What are you playing? [You've got him curious.]

[crazedingly]

[Jumps onto a lower branch, letting go of the butterfly to catch a creeper, and in much the same way starts to descend the tree]

I'm playing, um, it's a game. I made it. I catch the butterfly and the butterfly tries to fly. And go away. And be free.

It won two times! But it came back to me so it must be my friend now!

[crownedingly]

Um... sure! I'll play! I just have to catch the butterflies, right?

[grinning now!] I guess it likes you, Del.

[crazedingly]

Yes! It's fun!

[Grins back, landing in front of him] Lots of people like me now even if my sister doesn't!

[crownedingly]

All right. [He starts looking around for butterflies to catch.]

[His grin falters, just a little.] Del... something happened in the Crayon World--there was this fruit, and anyone who ate it changed somehow. A LOT of people ate it, too.

[He's not gonna say that at some point, he went wandering and got fruit shoved down HIS throat, though.]

[crazedingly]

I know. She killed them. She doesn't kill them. But it hurt. I can't forgive her. It hurt.

[Eyes glisten for a moment, then she snaps back to cheery!Del and starts trying to catch her butterfly again, which has come back down from the top of the tree and settled on the nearest tree trunk]

[crownedingly]

[Oh, Sora knows what you're doing, Del. He's half-way decent at it himself.]

[So--concentrating on looking for a butterfly of his own to chase.]
