keep it up

[Olettes aren't something that are seen around very often, especially ones waving wands and directing a procession of stuffed animals down a hall behind her. each stuffed animal, ranging from tiny toy rabbits to a life size lion, has an instrument of some sort. they don't seem to be playing them, but there's definitely cheerful marching music coming from somewhere.]

I like you.

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

[brightens at that. she wasn't terribly well liked back home because of her oddness.]

Really?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah, really.

[Roxas is quite odd too.]

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I like you as well.

[smiles almost gratefully.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

No, thank you.

[he can't help but think that Olette reminds him of someone.]

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

Why?

[doesn't understand why he'd be thanking her.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

For being nice to me.

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, why wouldn't I be?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[blinks.]

Why would you? You don't know me.

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

So?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

...nevermind. I'm just not used to... people.

[shrugs.]

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

You'll get used to them, I'm sure. Plenty of time.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm sure I will.

[he's already starting to get used to people.]

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

[just smiles before looking back to the line of toys on the floor.]

Want to come with me while I put these away?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[new friend!]

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

I probably shouldn't use anymore magic on all of them, but it should be easy enough to carry most of them.

[starts putting the smaller ones onto the life sized lion's back.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he carefully puts the statue in his pocket and then tries to help, imitating Olette's actions.]

Why not? Is there some kind of... limit on the magic you can use?

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

Sort of. The wand is just a conduit; the magic comes from inside me, so I can exhaust it if I'm not careful.

[stops once the lion is piled high with toys and uses a sticking charm to make sure they don't fall, though there are still a few on the ground.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[Roxas gathers up the remaining toys in his arms, stretching his neck to peek over the top of the pile.]

Like a battery?

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

[waves her wand and a few of the toys settle on his shoulders and head so he can see.]

I think so. One that can be recharged.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he smiles thankfully.]

That's gotta be nice. To have powers, I mean.

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

It can be.

[directs the lion to start walking, then heads down the hall towards the room all the toys are kept.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[Roxas follows cheerfully, humming the marching music he heard earlier.]

[sane-as-me.livejournal.com]

[eventually they get to a room full of toys and she directs the lion over to a bunch of other stuffed animals before releasing the sticking charm. all the toys that were on it tumble off into the pile, and the lion loses any signs of "life".]

You can just put the rest down there, too.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[he nods and puts them down, the ones in his arms first, then the ones on his shoulders. he's never been in this room before, and he looks excitedly around.]
