0184:Trouble!

[livingmyths]

[Someone has woken up in a greenhouse on top of the Library work - a someone quite a bit smaller than usual and more than a little confused.]

Uh oh... I don't think I'm s'posed to be up here on a roof.

I'm too little to be all on my own!



[Age reversal curse for Rain - or Isabel, as she was then.]

Are you okay?

[livingmyths]

I think so. Just all alone when I'm not s'posed to be.

My mommy's not even here.

[born_nameless]

Do you know which roof you're on?

[livingmyths]

The one with a big glass house with lots of flowers. [Obviously.]

[born_nameless]

The big...well I'll be a monkey's uncle, I think I actually know what you mean. I've just never managed to make it past all those books to get up there. If you sit tight I guess I can come and...maybe release you into the custody of a children's librarian or something.

[livingmyths]

There's books downstairs? I LOVE books!

Do you think the 'brarian will read them to me?

[born_nameless]

More than you could read in a lifetime, I think. [But Sparrow sounds like it might be a nice thing to try.]

I sure hope so, kid. I'm Sparrow. What's your name?

[livingmyths]

Oh wow!

Hi, Sparrow, that's a pretty name? Are you Lakota too?

I'm Isabel!

[born_nameless]

No, I'm...does it matter?

[Because there's pretty much no way Sparrow can end that sentence.]

Look I'm at the Library already, I'll be on the roof in a minute.

[livingmyths]

No, I don't think so. I just wondered.

Okay. Be careful!

[Sparrow makes it up to the roof level and looks around curiously. Sparrow has on a pretty typical outfit, hair in one braid, and right now manages to give off a slightly feminine appearance. 'She' doesn't look all that much different than Rain in ethnicity thought that too is a bit ambiguous.]

Hello?

[livingmyths]

[The little girl peeks out from around the corner of the greenhouse.]

Sparrow?

[born_nameless]

Hi, Isabel.

[Sparrow's somewhat at a loss what to do or say next. Never having been a child, they are somewhat baffling.]

Ready to go see the books?

Re: action;

[livingmyths]

[Isabel ran at Sparrow to give a hug - like it or not Sparrow was probably going to have little girl's arms wrapped around at least a leg.]

YES! Let's go read BOOKS!!

[born_nameless]

[Aaah! Physical contact! Not that Sparrow reacts much, besides holding out a hand for the tiny child.]

Okay, kid, let's get going.

Re: action;

[livingmyths]

[Isabel took Sparrow's hand and smiled up happily.]

'Kay. Will you read to me?

action;

[born_nameless]

[Sparrow opens the roof door and herds the tiny child indoors.]

Yeah, sure. What kind of stories do you like?

Re: action;

[livingmyths]

ALL KINDS OF BOOKS!!!

[The little girl is clearly very excited about books.]

I like books about kitties and puppies and, and, lil red riding, and coyote, and fairy tales, and mommies and lil girls, and 'citing things, and just BOOKS!

I remember finding a copy of something called The Blue Fairy Book, once. A long time ago. Maybe we can find it again.

[And maybe someone to take this kid of Sparrow's hands, but as long as they're reading babysitting's can't be so bad, right?.\]

Re: action;

[livingmyths]

Blue Fairies? OOOOOOH, I like that!

Blue fairies, blue fairies, YES!!!

[She's jumping up and down very excitedly.]
