Oh dear. It seems my brothers and I got too carried away with baking cookies, and we have many. Far too many. I think Toadman counted three hundred.

What should I do with three hundred cookies? Would anyone like some?

Cwookies! Gimme!

[kalinka_cossack]

Oh. *looks very surprised, and then sad* I see. But... I am not her. I am different. Things could be different, yes?

[1st_mistake]

You'll still grow up. I won't.

[kalinka_cossack]

... *opens her mouth and closes it* Is that what happened to her?

[1st_mistake]

She's twenty-one. Two years younger than me.

[kalinka_cossack]

But you are physically younger. *fidgets* That is the problem, yes?

[1st_mistake]

I'll look fourteen for the rest of my life.

[kalinka_cossack]

*keeps her eyes on her hands* That doesn't matter to me...

[1st_mistake]

When there's enough of a difference, especially since I look underage, it tends to attract unwelcome attention. She didn't deserve that.

[kalinka_cossack]

*folds her arms in a self-hug* You still care about her.

[1st_mistake]

Yup.

[kalinka_cossack]

Then I should go. *bows stiffly, remembering the Japanese custom* Sorry to have bothered you.

[1st_mistake]

You're never a bother, Kalli.

[kalinka_cossack]

*tries to smile* You're a good liar, Blues, but you are not good enough. Goodbye. *turns to leave, fully intending to go home and have a good cry*

[1st_mistake]

*Blues almost says something else, before a familiar twinge in his systems reminds him of another good reason to keep his distance.*

I'm sorry.

*He warps out before the glitch can start to seriously act up again. Even if there wouldn't be time for history to repeat, it wouldn't be fair to put Kalinka through that.*
