    ⁽☾⁾ “Wow, I collected more today than I thought-!” gushes a happy Atticus to himself, who’s kneeling next to a large oak, counting the number of odd little treasures he’s picked up. Old keys, some rusted over coins, a tiger’s eye marble, a broken watch that no longer ticked, and three soda can tabs. Ace!

⊰ ♘ ⊱ Don't mind the mouse as he looks around for those mushrooms that Cook wanted for tonight's soup. Chanterelles and spike-caps were what he was looking for... now let's see. He peeked around the giant roots of various trees and under logs. His boots made crunching sounds as he stepped on various forest debris. He was snooping around the oak that the cat was at - but upon seeing the other he stopped and backpedaled away. "Ah, osrry! Didn't meant to disturb you." The apology was quick to leave him as he readjusted his hold on the large basket that the Cook had given him before sending him out.

This came from Britain? Then shouldn’t it have all of the continents? Unless something really wasn’t right here… Well, more not right than the fact that he was somehow in a far off kingdom with no knowledge of how he got there. Though maybe Despereaux was right… Maybe he would be taken home just as suddenly. But that aside… “…That sounds nice, actually..” Maybe some food will do him some good.

⊰ ♘ ⊱ "Mhm! Food always does the trick!" And Despereaux would once again grab Michael by the hand and lead him out of the library and down the golden steps of the castle once more. "I believe cook is serving lunch at the moment... and King Phillip is in a meeting with his men so..." He pondered for a moment before grinning very brightly. "It will just be you, me and the Pea eating together! Oh she'd love to hear where you are from!" All the dehmockracy and what-have-you that the others strange country had.

Soon enough they were outside the banquet hall, where the Princess most loved to have her meals regardless of the occasion. He pushed open one of the doors, revealing the glittering room and the long wooden table draped in a fine white cloth, and a blond girl wearing a sequined gown sitting at the head of it. But... it seemed the Princess was done with her a meal, a frown quickly curling itself on Despereaux's face as he watched her stand and start to head towards where the two boys were standing."Well, it seems it's going to be you and me now..." His tone held the slightest bit of disappointment - he was quick however to stop talking as the princess came closer into view. 

The mouse was quick to hold the door wide open for the Pea to walk through at the sight of them did a smile light up the Pea's face. "My brave little mouse!" Was what she chirped before leaning over to give Despereaux a kiss to his forehead (nearly causing him to fall over from swooning at the gesture). Once he composed himself the mouse tried to speak up, "Pea this is my new friend Micheal and he's from....-"

"Forgive me Despereaux but I have to finish up my music lessons - that is why I could not join you for lunch." The young blond touched the boy's face, a sad look passing over her features before Despereaux nodded, showing he completely understood - a nod which was followed by a smile to put the Princess into ease. The Pea then turned to Michael, and lifted her skirts in a curtsey before she hurried off so her tutor wouldn't yell down at her.

Despereaux watched her leave with a heavy sigh before he gestured for Micheal to go inside the hall before him. "We should eat before Cook yells about her food going to waste"

“Y-Yeah… At least, it’s the landmass. We share it with two other countries, and it takes up a pretty good part of the globe.” He grimaced after saying this. “And…I can’t find it…” To say that this was unsettling would be an understatement. “I-I think I’m….very lost…” Lost, far from home, and having no idea how it happened. Yeah, Michael wasn’t unsettled; He was confused, scared, and just wanting to get home.

[bravelittlemouse-blog]

⊰ ♘ ⊱ He nodded as he listened intently to what the other was saying. "We got this globe from Britain - but I know for sure that no one from Dor has traveled so far..." Dor was by the sea but the kingdom didn't produce that much eager explorers wanting to find new land. The King wasn't very adamant about conquering new territory... Despereaux had heard the King say that his Kingdom was the size it was meant to be. A comfortable size most likely for the aging king. With a frown, the mouse placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and gave him a comforting squeeze. "I'm sorry that you're so lost... But, if you ended here so suddenly than that must mean you might end up back home just as suddenly!" That was followed by a nod and a smile. "But for now why don't we get you something to eat? That will calm you down some and give you the energy to think."

⊰ ♘ ⊱ Rule number one of being a squire: don't willing go with the older knights to a pub. Because then they'll shove mead at you and laugh when you spit it out because it tastes disgusting, tease you about your love for the Princess, and then use a barmaid to further torment you. And then they'll laugh their inebriated laughs as you're uncomfortably squished against said barmaid's breasts and have to endure for so many minutes before Despereaux manages to squirm his way out and head right out the door. He can still heal them laughing as he he wobbles away, a sickly feeling washing over him as he tries to head in the direction of the castle so he can go to sleep! But, it's very hard to do when he's most likely drunk and can't tel which way is up - so the boy groans and presses his head to the brick wall and groan.

what the fuck did you just say about my waifu you little bitch

            Now the kitten’s green eyes raised to meet with the stranger’s face, eyebrows furrowing as he took the offered handkerchief, though he really knew not how to use it. Of course he had the slight common sense to realize that he probably wiped his tears with it, so that was what he did; rubbing it against his eyes like he had previously been doing with the back of his hands. Now that he was looking up at the mouse; it was obvious what August was; a cat. His twitching ears and swishing tail could easily be seen by the mouse now that he was this close to the kitten, who would surely want to play after he got over his sudden sadness.

⊰ ♘ ⊱ Despereaux was happy that the tearful other took the handkerchief offered, smiling contently as the tears were wiped away. "See?" Chirped the boy with his grin still bright and encouraging. "That is better than using your hands right? Now, uhm, first I am sorry for suddenly appearing in your home I was just in need of some....-" Despereaux's words were lost as a long and very mouse-like squeak slipped up from his throat instead of anything coherent. Those were animal ears. And an animal tail. Not just any normal animal's ears - those were the physical, epitome characteristics of a cat. The mouse continued on squeaking, heart doing a ditty that was just way to fast as he scooted backwards away from the other.

The only thing vaguely discernable that was uttered between the boy's squeaking was word uttered with dapples of fear - "C-Cat."

✂; She chuckled a little and lowered her head, she might as well be honest with the boy, if he was going to judge then she might as well give him a proper reason, not many people understood her reason but.. maybe he would? who knew. “Because.. even the dead deserve some sort of living company, being dead is lonely and cold.. people say they understand loneliness but do they really? loneliness is when nobody can notice you, people fear you and often reject the thought you’re actually there, they don’t believe and so to be shunned and feared just because you want to be noticed and you cause problems because you’re lonely.. it’s sad.”

⊰ ♘ ⊱ He listened to her explain herself - her reasoning for staying in this place that most have forgotten about. And it's true. The majority don't understand what it means to be really alone. The mouse's look shifts from a look of shock and fear, to one of solemn understanding. A hand reaches out tentatively and places itself on the girl's shoulder to give her a comforting squeeze. "I...  know what it's like to be alone. To be unnoticed, to be rejected, and to some degree, feared." The brunette licked his lips and his gaze flits away for a moment to see a weak glimmer of sun peak through a crack in the ceiling.

"On the day I was born I was rejected. In a way. Born with my eyes open, too small, ears too big, the only one of my siblings alive....- Do you know why my mother named me 'Despereaux'?" He laughs slightly remember his mother and her theatrics. "She named me 'Despereaux' for all the despair in the world, for all the despair surrounding the time of my birth, and for the despair that she thought would fall because she believed - like everyone else - that I wouldn't survive."

But, he did and even when he did he was still an outcast because he wasn't a 'proper' mouse. After giving the girl another reassuring squeeze does his hand withdraw to rest at his side and does he offer up a smile. "So I... get what your saying I men. I get what your trying to say by staying here and I commend you for it, you - you are truly honorable!"
