a valuable lesson

[those who wander into the kitchen this morning will probably witness something spectacular: Sora is climbing the shelves in the pantry to get to the taffy, which has been conveniently placed high above his normal reach-- pfff, like there's anything actually out of the reach of monkeys! unfortunately, he'll be learning the hard way why he's not allowed to climb in the pantry: the shelf he's hoisting himself up on suddenly splits under his weight, sending kid and a myriad of soup cans crashing back down to the floor.]

[ Kairi comes in here simply to get a bottle of water, but after taking notice of the tiny Sora climbing the pantry shelves, she changes course. Her Sora has always been a monkey too, but she has seen him fall enough times to know better than perhaps even he does that he isn't invincible! On her way over, she opens her mouth to try to warn him that what he's doing is dangerous, but suddenly he's falling amongst a horde of tin cans. ]

Sora!

[ And she'll be diving for the kid to try to break his fall. If she's too late, she'll at least be trying to shield his body with hers to protect him from the soup can avalanche. ]

[Aaaaaaand an Older Sora is suddenly there to cushion the kid's fall, and of course to protect him from a rain of cans.]

Whoa there, little me, gotta be more careful!

[He just chuckles a bit, before grabbing a nearby towel and wiping the little him hair. A while ago, he might think he is getting crazy, but living in the DR does wonder in contemplating whether this is surreal or not.]

You okay?

There, there.

[Pats him on the back. What. Since when has he experienced the hell known as taking care of a kid?]

[Do lil Sora needs a hug or is okay with hugs, cause Sora is doing so now.]

Its okay, we can fix with the shelves later.

[ A can of tomato soup hits Kairi in one of the shoulder blades that she's forced to stick out due to holding herself up with her hands. Another can, on the other hand, makes it all the way to the floor without hitting any obstacles only to break open and splatter cream of mushroom soup. With a wince, she scrunches her eyes shut and tries to hold still to ride out the rest of the collapsing cans, but the cream and mushroom surrounding her knee makes Kairi slip slightly, and she might just be squishing ickle Sora for a moment before she tries to pick herself up again.

Kairi opens her eyes to seek out 'bug to make sure he's alright, thinking the can storm has come to a close by now. That's when the can of chicken noodle soup strikes her in the back of her head, and her eyes promptly fill with tears. Next time she comes into the kitchen, she'll remember a helmet.

Her head's throbbing, so she doesn't say anything for a moment as she peers up toward the ceiling of the pantry to make sure nothing else is going to be brought down before hesitantly sitting back upright, rubbing the back of her head. She's looking Sora up and down worriedly. ]


Are you hurt?

[Oh hey. It's that kid Sora from before...

But that's not a good sign!]


Sora!

[Yep. He's gonna try and help the kiddo, too.]

*his Sorabug radar is very strong, okay? he's running into the kitchen, after trying to figure out where you went when he hears that crash, and actually sees you falling -- he's dashing forwards, totally worried now*

SORABUG!

[ That whimper is enough to break a heart! Kairi frowns sympathetically, peering around the pantry for some sort of cloth to soak up the blood but coming up empty-handed. ]

Just a second, I'll be right back!

[ She stands up, careful not to slip on the spilled soup as she makes a quick dash for one of the kitchen towels. She brings it back to the pantry, sitting on her knees and using the cloth as lightly as she can manage in an attempt to not hurt his nose further. She sure wishes she knew magic right about now. ]

There you go... You're so brave.

*he's panicking, thinking you might have hit your head on a can or something, and fishes you out, holding you in his arms and inspecting you*

Sorabug?! Sorabug, are you okay? Can you hear me alright?

[ She wraps her arms arms around him and tries to pull him up onto her lap. She doesn't mind making a mess of herself—especially when it's for Sora. Soup, blood, tears and snot can all be washed out. She's much more concerned about the boy's well-being as she rubs his back with one hand, trying to soothe him. ]

It's okay! It'll be alright...

*omg well he's grabbing a towel from the counter, wetting it down a little at the sink as he holds you, feeling incredibly worried at that blood and pressing the towel to his forehead for now*

Sorabug, can you hear me? Can you see okay?

[ Taffy? He really is Sora, isn't he?

Although she actually doesn't have much experience with kids aside from the period in her life in which she was one, she's doing he best to tend to bitty Sora. Ironically, if this had happened ten years ago, she would have been doing about the same thing. Kairi has always been compassionate. ]


You can have taffy, but you can't be climbing shelves to get it, silly... Sometimes adventures cost more than they're worth, and there's nothing in the world worth you getting hurt.

[ Her tone is soft, and she continues to rub his back. ]

I'll get you some if you promise me you won't try this again.
