[A little bit after having lunch in a cafe, Raven is headed back to her place, idly strolling -- it's been fairly quiet for her recently -- when she passes by a playground and senses something familiar in her empathy. She glances over and sees...

Well, child form or not, Nelliel is pretty unmistakable. And she had said she would be doing this. She pauses for a moment to watch, then walks over.]

Nelliel?

[gamuzadeclares]

[Thanks to her shopping trip with Franziska, Nelliel has several new outfits. They’re in a resusable shopping bag, with her purse tucked safely underneath the newly purchased children’s garments.

She’s wearing a cute child’s sundress and a pair of running shoes when she turns to greet Raven with a wave from the top of the slide.

Hi Raven! Watch thith!

[Using her (considerably diminished but still present) sonido, she shoots down the slide as if propelled by a rocket, and goes flying several feet in the air thanks to the plastic slide’s slight upsweep at the end. She lands on her feet in the sand, which flies up in a small cloud when she makes impact.]

[azarathmetrion]

[Raven... raises an eyebrow, with a slightly amused expression. She's dressed in her ordinary costume, and watches with bemusement. Is Nelliel just thinking like a child, she wonders, or is this something she normally wanted to do, too...?]

Enjoying this, are you?

[gamuzadeclares]

[Nelliel giggles a bit.]

If I have to be thtuck like thith, I should have fun with it. There ith no reathon for me to act like an adult when I’m thith tiny.

[azarathmetrion]

Heh, tell that to most of the other people who were, uh, downsized.

[gamuzadeclares]

Well, I cannot blame them for being annoyed that it happened. But I might ath well have fun while I can.

[Speaking of - she darts in and taps Raven in the leg.]

Tag! You're it!

[Off she runs, although she's not running at superhuman speeds.]

[azarathmetrion]

As always, the most mature person in the roo--

[And then she taps Raven. Way to go proving her wrong-ish immediately. She raises an eyebrow, then looks around a little furtively. Seeing no one else around, she blinks and then starts flying after Nelliel at a fairly fast clip.]

[gamuzadeclares]

[Nelliel runs along giggling all the way.]

Catch me if you can!

[azarathmetrion]

Nel. I'm not --

...

[Well...

She adds a burst of speed on, zooming after Nelliel.]

[gamuzadeclares]

[Nelliel speeds up a bit until she ducks under some low-hanging playground equipment.]

[azarathmetrion]

[Raven zooms over top of the equipment and curves back down in front of it, seeking to cut Nelliel off.]

[gamuzadeclares]

[Nelliel starts darting away, but discovers she's been cornered by the slide. She tries to slip around the other side. If Raven's quick, she'll be able to catch her friend's toddler form.]

[azarathmetrion]

[Raven zooms around to the side, feeling rather satisfied, and just manages to grab a brief slippery hold of Nel's outfit.]

[gamuzadeclares]

[Nelliel smiles.]

Okay, I'm 'it', now! I will count to ten.

[azarathmetrion]

[HEY WAIT Raven has dignity--!]

--Hey, I wasn't turned into a kid here. I don't have to...

[...Or is already counting? ...Azar, dammit...]
