[a startled, rusty, almost-laughing noise]

Maybe--let's not repeat that.

Re: after

I mean IDEALLY.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

I didn't do it on purpose...?

Re: after

[hardpity]

No, I know... that's why I can't be like 'for sure never do it again rah rah rah'...

Re: after

[endsjustified]

I will try my best not to. At the very least.

One hopes everyone else is willing to do the same.

Re: after

[hardpity]

I'm gonna go get kidnapped tomorrow.

By Daffodil, if you please.

Re: after

[hardpity]

Kidnap myself right onto their cat tree.

Re: after

Want me to levitate you so we can pull you along like a balloon or do you wanna do something more dignified.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

...more dignified, please...if possible.

Re: after

[hardpity]

[ shuffles to his feet ]

Re: after

[endsjustified]

That's all I need, I think. Thank you.

[hardpity]

We can walk slow too.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

Yes.

You're...

[???]

You're all right? You were...a small child...?

Re: after

[hardpity]

There was a ritual that made some people babies... I turned six. I was a pretty energetic kid so I had fun with it.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

The details are not very clear to me right now, but...you did seem happy. I'm glad you had a good time.

Re: after

[hardpity]

I got lots of snacks and got to pet every animal.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

[ruffles his fluffy fire hair a little bit, after careful consideration]

You should have those even when you are not a small child.

Re: after

[hardpity]

I get lots of snacks as an adult too! It was just more novel to kid me.

Re: after

[endsjustified]

You...were not used...to a lot of it.

Re: after

[hardpity]

Well, the Island of Woe is totally underwater and entry and exit is strictly controlled. There's no natural light so plants and animals don't love it. At that age I'd never been to the surface.

Is there a reason for such intense isolation? Your school is not nearly in such an extreme environment, if I recall.
