disaster on two feet

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[someone's had his bug problem sorted out, and of course, any excuse for cookies is a good excuse. so he's hanging off a cabinet in the kitchen, stretching waaaaaay out with his toy sword and attempting to nudge a fairly large cookie jar in his direction.]

[there's a baby chocobo flitting about in circles at his feet, squawking loudly. Sora figures Bawk is hungry too-- if he could reach the jar, they'd both be fed for the day.]

Hey now, be careful there!

[that isn't good. Aerith will just be going over and making sure little Sora doesn't fall - by placing her hands under his arms and attempting to take him off the cabinet and place him safely on the floor]

You should be more careful, Sora.

I got it!

[the jar wobbles, and Bawk just keeps on squawking.]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ Immediately walks over towards him and holds him. ]

Want a boost?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

B-but .. m'hungry!

[and he's trying to climb back on the cabinet.]

[radiantbloom.livejournal.com]

But you could have gotten hurt.

[gets the jar for him and sets it down as well]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yes please!

[drops the sword and waves his arms around a little, grinning.]

[jackpot! both kid and chocobo circle the jar hungrily, before Sora dives at it and starts prying the lid off.]

I'm not gonna get hurt, Miss Pretty Lady! I'm big and strong like all the other big kid Soras!

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ Have a boooost! ]

[radiantbloom.livejournal.com]

[can't help but smile a bit at that]

I know...but it still worries me a bit.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[all right, cookies! Sora scoots right onto the countertop and gets to work opening the lid.]

Bawk, we're gonna get lunch!

[Bawk peeps happily in reply.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Don't worry! I'm ...

[... so strong he can't get the lid off of the jar. Bawk offers what little assistance it can by pecking at the side of the jar with a tiny beak.]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

Now, aren't cookies supposed to be dessert and not for lunch?

[ Pats Bawk gently. ]

[radiantbloom.livejournal.com]

[kneels down to his level and helps him get the lid off]

Don't eat too many now.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

... Nuh uh. Cookies are for lunch and dinner and snacktime and breakfast and --

[Bawk peeps and fluffs out, looking pretty content.]

-- and before naptime, and after naptime, and when the sun goes down but it's too early for dinner, and when I'm on my boat, and ...

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Thank you Miss Pretty Lady!

[manages to cram a cookie in his mouth before holding one out to Bawk. While it's definitely not greens, Bawk seems to enjoy it.]

[radiantbloom.livejournal.com]

You can just call me Aerith.

[...but she knows little kids tend to overindulge, so she'll be staying right here and watching him]

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

[ Hmm~. Really now. ]

How about I make you noodles for dinner, then, and you can have cookies with ice cream for dessert?

[ S-SPOILS TOO MUCH, MAYBE..! ]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[this little guy's no exception: his limit's normally three, but he's already pulled five more out of the jar.]

Miss Pretty Aerith Lady, then?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Can I have spaghetti, and um, um, a giant meatball?

With ice cream on top!

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

Of course you can! Just remember to save room in your stomach.

[ Pokes his stomach playfully. ]

[radiantbloom.livejournal.com]

If you'd like.

[that's a lot of cookies.] You know, if you take all the cookies today, there won't be any left for you tomorrow.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[squeals, and worms out of her reach.]

How d'I do that? Is it like cleaning my room?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

But .. but tomorrow's a long ways off! Can't I have them now?

[xiglette.livejournal.com]

Just don't eat too much cookies. Besides, wouldn't you want to eat some for dessert after dinner?
