Allen laughs heartily. He recalls what Robin told him of his adventure into Nottingham as a butcher and smiles.    “ Rich abbots pay double, business men pay regular price, but pretty ladies and widows pay nothing. ”

“ What kind of tune would you like to hear? ”

   “p-p-p-pretty?! no, I’m -- I’m not -- AH, that’s not to say that I think y-you meant-- um...” she blushes at her feet. 

   what would she like to hear? “I -- d-don’t know. no one’s ever played me... music... before.”

…is she… crying? Has he hurt her? Realizing that he’s towering over the poor girl, he crouches down beside her. “It’s okay. Um… I’m n-not… going to hurt you.”

Looking around, he realizes he has no idea if these are the correct coordinates or not. “Can… can you t-tell me where I am?”

   good! so she’s made someone good. not like her, then! someone who can do good in the world, if he doesn’t want to hurt others! but... oh. he doesn’t know where he is. well, of course he doesn’t, he’s just been made... 

   “you’re... somewhere o-outside eylstadt.” was izetta shaking and crying before this kind stranger? only a little. she tried to smile, a bit more confidently, even though she was alone and had just created a person! “u-um... I don’t know how to take care of a person-- o-oh, you’ll need food! I may still have food i-in my bag, um...”

God, Reg hates the transporter. So much. Even now, when he thinks he’s over it, the thought of beaming somewhere fills him with dread every time. But he takes a deep breath and holds it until the ordeal is over, and he’s on the surface of the planet –

And he’s already knocked someone over. Wonderful, Reginald.

“S-sorry!” he gasps, on top of the other’s apology as he hurries over. “Are you alright? D-did I knock you down?”

   her heart is racing, she can hardly breathe, and there’s the person that she created running up to her. wait, no, he’s speaking already. newly created people can’t speak yet, right? can they? do they?

   “u... um...” 

   should she be crying? because she is, already, staring up at him.

   “n-no, you... you d-didn’t, I’m... sorry.” what is he wearing? “um...”

@ltbroccoli

   she floats above the air, singing a tune beneath her breath, finger flicking among floating lights, toes dancing -- around her, objects sway to the beat of her gentle humming. all is well -- she is secluded, alone, happy... that is, until, with a flurry of soft yellow-y green light such as hers, a person appears. 

   “h-huh?” blink blink. “w-what? h-- huh?!” and the light fades, she clatters onto soft grass, her few belongings scatter around her, but the person... remains. 

   “w-w-- how?!” how is there a person here. how is there a person here! “wh- how-- did... did I?” grandma never told her she could MAKE someone else! “I’m... so sorry!”

      “Whoa!” kaori jumps back, muscles tensing, fingers tightening around the trigger. all of her training told her to shoot, stun her! But the girl seemed… lost. Confused, and out of place - and Kaori couldn’t bring herself to do it. I won’t hurt you rang in the security officer’s ears, even as she spoke. “Wait - why are you saying that? Why are you… why do you think you’re stupid? Where did you come from?”

   she’s stupid because she showed her magic, duh, but she can’t just -- say that, out loud, in front of another! she’s shaking, hands up, moaning in fear -- and then she trips over something that she had just been levitating moments earlier. “I -- I -- don’t know, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be...!”

“…Yeah, it’s…”

Wait, if she didn’t know what Kido was…should he be mentioning it at all?

“It’s like a…special skill. Some people would probably call it magic, or even a parlor trick if they didn’t particularly believe what their eyes were seeing.”

   “m-m-m-m-magic?!” her stuttering spelled her doom -- told the truth -- that she was terrified. “n-n-no! no magic here! w-w-why would you... say... um...?” 

[smilingtothestake-blog]

kuroixtaiyo:

“I wouldn’t be too glad about it. You got lucky running into me. Most people aren’t used to seeing this sort of thing, you know? Is that…Kido you’re using?”

   smile fades as she looks down, guiltily. she knows she did bad. he doesn’t need to remind her! “s... sor--...” expression jumps -- turns to fear! confusion! “k... kido? I don’t... um...”
