[July is used to his device turning on randomly so he ignores it as he sits on a couch at Hatter's place. This part isn't so unusual. What is unusual is that he is sitting there holding a teddy bear. It's one that Setsuna gave to him.

It's his now.

He looks over at the device and tilts his head.]

It turned on again. [Just to let people know why it's recording. Moving over, he turns it off.]

I am a Doll.

[worldofourown]

Yes, you are~ [ It's a compliment, shush. ] So what can a Doll do, precisely?

[through_glass]

What we are asked.

[worldofourown]

Like what? A robot?

So if I asked you to jump out the window, you'd do it? [ No, Karl. Stop. ]

[through_glass]

I am not a robot.

[worldofourown]

A magical thing, then? Enchanted, perhaps?

[through_glass]

No.

[worldofourown]

No?

No special powers at all?

[through_glass]

[He shakes his head.]

[worldofourown]

[ pouting ]

That's no fun at all.

[ Yeaaaaah. It's better if you believe that, Karl. ]

[through_glass]

Fun...

[worldofourown]

Yes. Fun.

[ dootdoot ]

You don't know what fun is?

[through_glass]

Enjoyment, amusement, light-hearted pleasure.

[worldofourown]

That's the formal definition, my little dictionary.

I meant do you know how to have fun? In practice, not theory.

[through_glass]

Dolls do not feel.

as if ne wouldn't pay attention to his conversations?

[indecent_butterfly]

Karl.

SOB xD

[worldofourown]

Wha-at? I wasn't going to make him do it.

[indecent_butterfly]

Of course you weren't, he would not listen to you. But you might have tried.

[worldofourown]

It's just uncanny, that's all. He does whatever you tell him? No fuss, no tantrums?

[indecent_butterfly]

This One does not ask that much of him. And certainly nothing that would cause him any harm.

[worldofourown]

That may be so.

But a simple toothbrushing or a request to go to bed early is met with resistance from the children of today.

[indecent_butterfly]

He is not, at all, like most children. And no, there are no complaints or resistance.

[worldofourown]

Yes, he seems quite a unique little boy.

[ pauuuuuuse ]

He's not actually a robot, is he?

[indecent_butterfly]

No, he is not. He is for all purposes a human child.

[And not dinner. Or even a snack.]

[worldofourown]

[ Aw. Not even a nibble? 8( ]

A human child who calls himself a Doll. A flight of fancy, or are his insides really fluff and stuffing, I wonder?
