Frequent use of high heels might result in shortening of the Achilles tendon and increases the likelihood of damage to the underlying soft tissue that supports the foot. Furthermore, constraining the toes can lead to blisters, corns, hammer toes, hallux valgus, Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis and many other medical condition. These risks are more pronounced for children.

I suppose one day will not do much harm, but—

[ A beat. ]

I cannot walk in them.

[ ooc; 'sup ]

[saidrepent]

Would you like some help?

[archivy]

I'm afraid I will need it. [ She can walk. At a glacial pace. While wobbling precariously. ]

[saidrepent]

I'll be there in a minute. [Because the City was kind enough not to curse him with heels today. Or perhaps cruel enough, given he could probably use the extra height.]

[archivy]

I'll be on the couch. [ Because moving is scary. ]

[saidrepent]

[True to his word, Raymond makes his way there in just under a minute.]

Where to?

[archivy]

I wanted to get lunch. [ In the kitchen. Which is right there, but the distance had still felt daunting. ]

This is very inconvenient. [ She's sitting on the couch, legs dangling and the heels almost touching the floor. ]

Exactly how old are you?

[archivy]

Eleven. [ And over two thousand, but mostly eleven. ]

[thenormalsquint]

Why do none of you kids actually sound your age around here? All of you are giving me a complex.

[She bets the playgrounds get no use in the City.]

I am the Archive. [ As though that explains everything. ]

[thenormalsquint]

The what? [It doesn't.]

[hellinhigheels]

You could always ask someone to carry you~

[archivy]

I suppose I may have to. [ At least she's still small for her age. ]

[hellinhigheels]

Want me to do it~?

[archivy]

No, thank you.

[berthierite]

Well, it seems you'll just have to flop around like a worm today.

[archivy]

There are other possibilities, fortunately.

[berthierite]

You don't say.

[archivy]

I believe I just did.

[berthierite]

What a tedious little girl...

[awildhulkling]

I wish I could help. I can fly you places if you want though.

[ Because she is a kid and he is a nice boy, okay? ]

[archivy]

That is appreciated, but will not be necessary.

[awildhulkling]

Okay, well if you need anyone to pick anything up for you, just let me know.

[archivy]

I think Mr Leon has it covered for the time being. Thank you, Mr Altman.

[awildhulkling]

Cool, well, if you change your mind, let me know.
