“It was only the second story. Hardly a fatal fall.”

[emmaagnes1831]

“but like, how did you do that, you know, without dying?”

[emmaagnes1831]

“I’m sorry, you did WHAT?!”

Scott took a deep breath and sank into his seat, leaning back, ready to listen to her, hoping this wouldn’t be something ridiculous that would require him giving her a hug. He didn’t do hugs. “That sounds horrible. He is an absolute terrible person as no kid should ever be treated like that. I may be mean on occasion, but I’d never hurt a child.” Scott knew he wasn’t always the nicest man, but he did respect how a child should be treated. Shaking his head, he clasped his hands together. “No, you’re not mad. Nightmares are a part of life. I used to have them as a kid. You need to relax before you sleep, clear your mind. Might help.”

[emmaagnes1831]

Emma was touched that Scott was listening to her so attentively, this man was terrifying but he sure knew how to listen. “It was horrible” Emma smiled “You’re not the type of person I thought you were, I mean that in the nicest way possible. I appreciate you listening to me” Emma hugged Scott, she knew he didn’t like it but she did it anyway. “ I know you’re going to hate me for this but this is me thanking you” 

She was an affectionate person, especially when someone was kind to her. Emma let go and sat back down “How did you know exactly what to say?”

[pete-parsons]

“I’m a growing boy. Scarfing down two pies is easy.”

[emmaagnes1831]

“That sure is an... advantage”

[drizella-moore]

“Oh, well I’m doing this as a sort of…request. It’s gonna be a dragon. It’s…for one of the children at the orphanage.”

[emmaagnes1831]

“Wow, that’s amazing. What other things have you done?”

[melissa-kent-deactivated2021082]

“Is that so?” Melissa chuckled. “I understand that. I get drowned in my work often that when I do get a break, I never seem to know what to do with it.”

[emmaagnes1831]

“Right? I did go for a walk earlier and it felt so freeing to be out of the office”

[littlejelizawhite-blog]

“That always seems to cause a dilemma, doesn’t it? Anything I can do to help?”

[emmaagnes1831]

“It’s awful I tell you, I love writing but it just doesn’t give me enough. A new job would be really nice, know anyone who is hiring?”

A light laugh slipped though Elsa’s lips as she nodded, “Yes, I do. Not very well though, I have only met him a few times when he delivered a few items to me.” Each and every moment with him, he’d always smiled. The same went for Emma. She really cared about the girl and found herself really wanting to make a friend. The whole concept of a friend was still unfamiliar to her, but she liked it. “I would like to try more combinations some day and perhaps learn something new to eat with it. I do not know very much about food and I think I would like to.”

[emmaagnes1831]

“Eric is awesome, I miss him, Haven’t seen him in a while”. Emma felt so happy to see that Elsa was finally coming out of her shell. It’s been a while since Emma had a real friend to talk to. “We should sneak into the kitchen sometime and experiment with food” Emma giggled 

[darlingwren]

“Goodness, I haven’t been on a picnic in ages! I should soon, now that I’m on a break from my classes.”

“Now, now, don’t call yourself a creep! If you like him, you like him!” Wren smiled sweetly. She loved that Emma was comfortable enough with her to trust her with a secret like that.

[emmaagnes1831]

“We should totally do that at some point, that i if you want to. I really enjoy talking to you!”

“Ugh, yeah I like him.” Emma giggled “ I’ve never felt like this towards anyone before “

Scott looked down at the girl as she spoke, hoping this dream wasn’t something ridiculous, but as she continued, he found himself nodding slowly, realizing he didn’t want to have that dream either. “That sounds terrible. Do you know who it was? On occasion, dreams are about real life experiences we have or will have in the future.” 

He shook his head and gestured for her to come toward him. “Come here, Miss Agnes, have a seat,” he said, pointing to the chair next to him. Bending down, Scott reached out, rubbing her arm gently. “No, no, I’ve had dreams like this. I know how hard they can be.” He actually did want to help because he’d had ones that frightened him this much. As mean as Scott was to everyone, he didn’t think anyone deserved to cry over something in their head that may or may not be real.

[emmaagnes1831]

Emma sat next to Scott and took a moment “He looked important, like some sort of court member but not directly connected to the Queen” her hands started to get sweaty “ The man just looked evil and he looked at the poor child like he was a pest. I just can’t, for the life of me, comprehend why this man was so awful” She was relieved to see that this man actually paid attention to what she was saying. “Thank you for not dismissing me as a mad woman. I appreciate that”

[littlejelizawhite-blog]

“I didn’t think I’d see you here. Are you Christmas shopping, too?”

[emmaagnes1831]

“Well I was, but then I forgot that I was broke as hell”

[darlingwren]

“In general it’s been much busier in the park than usual! With the beautiful changing weather, everyone seems to enjoy the fresh air.”

Wren grinned. “Perhaps we should. If only to give you another excuse to see this Master of Ceremonies you seem so keen on. You are keen on him, aren’t you, Emma?”

[emmaagnes1831]

 “You’re right, I’ve seen a lot of people gathering there for picnics and they look so cute and fun!”

Emma couldn’t stop smiling “He’s gorgeous... I mean charming! Yeah I’m a little bit keen on that boy, who am I kidding.” she blushed and put her hands on her face “God, I’m such a creep!”

[letyourheartunfreeze-deactivate]

Elsa flashed her a smile, glad that she enjoyed it. The hot chocolate from the castle kitchens had become something of a favorite for her and she hoped to get others hooked on it as well. “I am not sure where the cooks got the chocolate from, but I should very much like to know. I believe Eric Raleigh should know.” There weren’t very many people around Ever After that Elsa felt comfortable speaking to, but Emma was one of them that she did. Shaking her head, she laughed. “Oh no, not at all. In the summer, you can get cozy and bundle up with some hot chocolate, especially with marshmallows.”

[emmaagnes1831]

“I’ll make sure to ask Eric, wait you know him?!” Emma smiled, Eric was one of her best friends and just the fact that Elsa and him knew each other made her incredibly happy. Emma loved the fact that Elsa was slowly warming up to her and Emma was always excited to make friends. “ Right?! Even putting ice cream in it, it’s actually kind of delicious. The hot and the cold are both so intense, when you put them together it is simply the perfect combination. ”

[darlingwren]

“I love the park. I love taking long walks there.”

“I’ve never been to Fire and Ice. Is the Master of Ceremonies really all that?”

[emmaagnes1831]

“That sounds like a lot of fun! I should probably do that sometime. I like to go for walks but I usually just walk around the city not the park.

Emma started to get very giddy “He is an interesting man and he has a really nice butt, that’s beside the point. He is very good at his job you know announcing.. things..?” Emma composed herself and tried to contain her giggling “We should go sometime! it’s pretty fun. The performers are really good!”

Vivian looked around to make sure they were talking to her before answering, “I- uhh sure…” why someone would like her company was beyond her, but she could related to the nightmare thing. “How bad was it? … sorry you don’t have to tell me… I’m not good at this…” she admitted. 

[emmaagnes1831]

Emma sat down and wrapped her arms around her knees “I had a dream that this horrible man had a small child locked inside a room. No reason for him to do that but he simply kept telling the kid tat he deserved it because of how we was born. Every time I tried to speak up it felt like was mute. I just kept hearing this child crying and screaming for help. It all felt too real.”

Emma was thankful this girl talked to her for a bit. Yes, it was super awkward to talk to someone Emma didn’t know but it somehow made it better that way i would be easier to avoid them. “Honestly, just listening helps, thank you.”

[rockwellenterprises-deactivated]

“I’d prefer you didn’t, but if it’s necessary, I suppose I could tolerate it,” Scott said, rubbing his head. “What happened? Someone eat you?”

[emmaagnes1831]

“There was small boy and he was locked in his room by this older man and I could hear the child scream out in pain but I couldn’t do anything to help.” Emma couldn’t describe how awful this dream was, it was all too much and too real. “I’m sorry you don’t have to listen to me if you don’t want to I understand...”
