First--[Action]

[there_were_none]

[This...was very strange, as dreams went.

For one thing, more things actually made sense than not. There was a house, though not her own, a floor and doors that worked as expected, and so on. She didn't have her wings, but this was a dream; sometimes she didn't. It didn't trouble her much.

The house was full of odd things; she was upstairs,

[YOU KNOW

Gil is okay with kids. Mostly because they all have some kind of potential. So yeah, he does take the time to stop over Flandre and peer down.

In her light.]

[there_were_none]

[...ohay, there's a shadow.

Flandre bobs her head from side to side a bit, as if locking onto a target, and--pounce!

As if she was after an imagined grasshopper.]

[kinpika]

[Whup, grabbing her by the scruff of the neck in mid-air.]

What are you doing, child?

[there_were_none]

[Flandre squawks in a mostly undignified way.

She was definitely not expecting that.]

2/2

[there_were_none]

[...oh, there's a person. When did he get here?]

Hello.

[kinpika]

Hello. What were you doing?

[there_were_none]

Chasing a shadow!

[It could be a Floormaster!]

[kinpika]

My shadow? It only moves when I move and no others can overtake it.

[there_were_none]

Oh--it's yours?

[kinpika]

Do you not know how the sun works?

[there_were_none]

It burns! ...but not right now.

[No, she doesn't really.]

[kinpika]

[Lifting her up to face level.]

Is that so? You are a nightcrawler?

[there_were_none]

[Flandre wiggles a bit in response.]

I'm vampire! I don't know what a nightcrawler is.

[kinpika]

They would be the same thing.

[there_were_none]

Oh.

[She didn't know that.

...also are you gonna put her down any time soon or is Flandre a permanent kitten?]

[kinpika]

[Nope.]

And you were not inherently afraid of the sun, girl?
