Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

A week that had included library duty, a night out at Caritas, movies with a friend, exams, and plotting a rescue mission meant that Isabel was pretty damn tired when she went to bed on Friday night. Unfortunately the conversation with Rikku brought memories and Isabel didn't actually get into a deep sleep until some time just before dawn. She

Cedric poked his head around the open door. "Hello?"

[chasingsnitches]

"I've been good!"

[izzyalienqueen]

"Well in that case, I suppose you can have a piece," Isabel smiled. "Two if I can have a hug."

[chasingsnitches]

"Okay!" And he hugged her legs. That's about as far as he could reach.

[izzyalienqueen]

She ruffled his hair and handed over the chocolate as promised. Sinking to the floor, she crossed her legs, pleased to mostly be at eye level with Cedric. "So Mr. Cedric who is five, what do you plan on doing for the rest of the day? Lots of exploring? Or do you still need to take naps?"

[chasingsnitches]

Because he knew his manners, he finished stuffing chocolate into his mouth before answering. "I dunno. Maybe go flying!"

[izzyalienqueen]

"Flying? Up in the sky?" she asked, laughing at the chocolate stuffing. "Do you go very high?"

[chasingsnitches]

"Yeah!" He pointed straight up. "I could take you! I fly good! I'm a snitch...person!"

[izzyalienqueen]

As much as Isabel would like to go flying? She's not going when Cedric is five. She can wait and not risk life or limb. "I don't think so. I'm not very brave when it comes to going up very high."

Wrinkling her nose, she wondered if some breaking and entering and grand theft broom would be needed until things were back to normal. "Have you been flying for a long time?"

[chasingsnitches]

"I am five," he told her in a voice that said she was dumb for asking that. "Six soon!"

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel snickered, already thinking about how she could tease him when this wore off. "Soon? You're going to have a birthday soon? Will you have cake?"

[chasingsnitches]

"Of course," he said happily. "A chocolate one!"

[izzyalienqueen]

"There are other kinds of cake?" she asked, faking surprise. "I thought all cakes were chocolate."

[chasingsnitches]

"I've seen lellow cakes before," he explained.

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel made a face. "I bet they're yucky."

[chasingsnitches]

"They are," he agreed with a firm nod. "No ones should eat them."

And he ate some more chocolate.
