[Here is a girl on a mission. Her arms are full of strawberry-scented beauty products, like shampoos, lotions and soaps. She dumps everything into a large trashcan away from her parents' room. She's headed for the kitchens next, where everything strawberry will be thrown away, even if it's artificial strawberry flavor. She will not be stopped!]

[Well good thing she has strawberry soda in the mini fridge in her room. Anyway...Hikari's peering at Kira curiously from up the hall a ways.]

Whatcha doing Kira?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she looks up at you, brushing her bangs out of her face]

I'm just doing some cleaning.

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

Oh okay...

[Coming a bit closer and peering at it all]

Why's it all strawberry stuff?

[No Kira she does not know about your brother's strawberry phobia]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she looks sad and twists her fingers together]

... because.

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Oh.]

Rikka?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. He doesn't like strawberry anything anymore, so I'm throwing it all away.

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hikari nods and taps her foot for a moment as she tries to think of what to say next.]

So how's he doing?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

A little better. But Daddy and Mama said that it'll take a long time for him to be completely okay, since he got beat up really bad.

[here's Kai, burnt hand, healing stab wound in the torso and all. Gem likes messing with him too much. :| he's just going to watch Kira curiously after he enters, pausing on the way to the fridge.]

What are you doing?

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

That's good...I mean that he's getting better...

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. But I can't wait for him to be all better. He acts weird when he's not 100%.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Cleaning.

[she looks forlornly at the kiwi strawberry iced tea, then pours it down the sink]

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hikari looks down a bit.]

I can't either but we don't really have a choice do we?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

No. Daddy says that we have to be extra strong while Rikka is still healing.

[Hikari sighs and nods. That's what she's been trying to do for him whenever she sees him, but it's been really hard, for...reasons she'd rather not talk about.]

I forgot he was the oldest somehow

*the two year old version of your older brother is dragging Kitty with him (no worries, Mama's not too far behind) into the kitchen and attaching himself to your legs!*

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she'll give you a little hug]

Rikka is happy when he sees you. You should visit more.

Kira is just bossy XD

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[well that was surprising]

Oh!

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Hugs back, a light blush crossing her face.]

Really?

[If that blush doesn't give away the reasons she doesn't want to talk about...XD]

lol

[epic-adore.livejournal.com]

*he's an adorable under-knee-height accessory! take in the adorable*

... stawbewy.

*he knows that word! it's his favorite C:*

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[you're so lucky that she's sort of oblivious]

Uh huh. It helps to keep his mind off things.

Re: lol

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she is indeed weak to your cute, especially right now]

Yes, that's what it is, Rikka.

[earthwaterlight.livejournal.com]

[Oh thank goodness you are! XD Fighting the blush down now that she realizes you haven't noticed.]

Did he show you the teddy bear I gave him? I was looking for you so you could give it to him for me, but...

[She shrugs and leans against the wall. And yes she still has the ocean blue ribbon tied to one of her shoes.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

I saw it. It's cute. Rikka won't tell anyone, but he likes cute things. Like animals.

[epic-adore.livejournal.com]

Rikka loves stawbewy.
