TWO: in which Tinker Bell is a terrible loser [action]

[firstlaugh]

[With her undignified arrival mostly forgotten Tinker Bell has been settling in nicely to life in Splendor (minor bean-related infatuations aside). In some ways it’s much like the Never Lands, but in many ways it’s better: there’s no way Peter would ever have tolerated her lazing in the sun amongst the flowers until teatime every day but here she

[Milen is quite used to seeing fairies, but they usually make their way around the Wonderland district pointedly ignoring everything that doesn't originate from Splendor. He's grown the idea that they're quite mellow and... nondestructive, so it's safe to say that he's both surprised and shocked when he sees little Tinker Bell rip that poor rose apart. He walks on over and leans, only enough to make sure he doesn't get any of that negative energy, physically or otherwise.]

What are you doing?

[firstlaugh]

[Tinker Bell falters at the sudden question and her little fingers pause mid-rip as she turns to stare up at the inquisitive face above her. Her delicate features crease up in to an ugly frown of confusion - there was nothing she could really say to explain what it was she was doing, or even why she was doing it. It was just a hideous impulse.]

[so she settles for turning up her nose and impiously retorting:]

None of your business!

[then, quickly and as if to stop him from asking any further questions, she adds:]

Who are you?

[uponhiseye]

[She can hear him! But he hears the voice in his head, not through his ears, quickly looking down to pull his seal from his pocket. That means she's not a local...]

Me? [He blinks.] I'm Milen.

Who are you?

[aut_augur]

[That poor little snail :c Jast comes along to comfort it gently before his turning his attention to Tinker Bell.]

Hello, little one.

[firstlaugh]

[from her sulk in the middle of the rose Tink looks up as she flings another handful of rose pieces in to the air and says darkly:]

Jast! Tell the bees I shan't be talking to them ever again!

[aut_augur]

[Oh pixies. He gives her a bemused expression.]

Have you had a disagreement?

[firstlaugh]

['disagreement' implies that there's an equal chance that both sides might be in the wrong and Tink doesn't agree with that. She just prattles on with her tinkly little rant.]

They're simply horrid! Horrid cheaters! I hate them! Tell them that too!

[starboltgirl]

[ Starfire spent a loto of time in the Wonderland District because its cheerful and playful nature was a lot like her own. Today she was collecting flowers to make wreathes. So when she came across a small fairy destroying the flowers, she was quite distressed. ]

Please stop, tiny one! You should not damage the flowers!

[firstlaugh]

[oh dear, nothing like a girl to bring out the contrariness in the already difficult little fairy. Tink stares up at the girl's distressed face before emphatically throwing yet another tiny handful of petals up in to the air and crying:]

Shan't! I'll do what I like!

[starboltgirl]

But would it not be much nicer to enjoy the flowers, rather than destroy them?

[firstlaugh]

No!

[She doesn't actually believe that, she just wants to contradict whatever this strange girl says. Tink delicately leaps from the flower and in to the air, darting forward until she's hovering brightly before the poor girl's face. The irony that in shouting at Starfire for telling her to stop ripping the flower up the little fairy had actually stopped obviously hadn't dawned on Tink as she rudely sticks her tongue out.]

You can't tell me what to do!

[conquiste]

[Blink blink. SO WHAT IS THIS GUY DOING IN A BUNCH OF ROSE BUSHES? Well, Spain is an appreciator of beautiful things after all. He figures some flowers would brighten up the atmosphere of his currently quiet room. As he bends to collect a few, he notices...her]

Oh! Oh my. ......How adorable. Could this be what Arthur is always babbling about? Hello there, little one!

[firstlaugh]

[Tink's head snaps up mid-tear at the voice. She leaps to her feet and peers over the edge of the rose petals to stare at the face bending over her. Seemingly unimpressed, she asks suspiciously:]

What? Who's adorable? Are you talking about me?

GOD I'M SO SLOW SORRRYY

[conquiste]

Ay? You talk too? [He's not sure why he sounds so surprised to be honest. Just a gut reaction perhaps.]

......My, you are cute! Do you have a name, niña?

[mei_blossom]

Ah...hello?

[Is she...saying something? Why is she so angry?]

[firstlaugh]

[Tink viciously flings another handful of petals in to the air with a deceptively sweet tinkle of bells before darting out of the rose to confront whoever it is that is addressing her]

Hello?

[she looks the girl up and down before rudely continuing:]

Who are you? What do you want?

[mei_blossom]

I...didn't want anything... I was just um- [Did she offend the little fairy in some way? She was so pretty!] I'm sorry for bothering you.
