Where: Around town
When: RD6, afternoon
What: Cute kids being cute
Who: Faolan and Gretel

[Gretel's over at Hawk's doorstep, knocking away. She's got a large satchel thrown over her shoulder and her wands were wound into her hair, keeping it up in a messy bun.]

Faolan? Are you home?

Comments

Faolan peeked out the door, smiling.

"Gretel!" he greeted, flinging the door open to pounce on her.

[halfwitch]

She wrapped her arms around him when their bodies met, smiling into his hair. "Hey, how have you been?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Is something strange going on, but Faolan isn't allowed to help. Say it's too dangerous." He pouts, obviously not liking to admit it.

[halfwitch]

"Let me guess, your dad said that." She pulled away from the boy, sliding past him into the house.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Hawk and Aralu said. Wouldn't let Faolan go with Aralu. Faolan wants to protect too!"

He followed after her, closing the door again.

[halfwitch]

"I guess you'll just have to protect the house for now." She said, dumping her pack on the floor. "Or we could go have our own adventure. I had one recently. A good one."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Really?" he asked. "What kind? What did you do?" He sat among her things on the floor, trying to move them out of her way so she'd answer his questions.

[halfwitch]

"Oh, just went into the woods." She tried to act apathetic, but the smile was present in her eyes. "Found a witch. Fought her. Nothing big."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan grins at her, eyes wide. "Really? What kind of witch, Gretel?"

[halfwitch]

"All old and ugly and mean. She lives in a candy house and fights people you get too close." Gretel kept her voice low and dramatic.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan listened with wide eyed attention. "What does she do there, Gretel? Does she eat people?"

[halfwitch]

"I don't know." She admitted. "But I bet so!"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

This is gross and exciting!

"Should stop her?"

[halfwitch]

"Do you want to?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Yes! An adventure! We protect everyone!"

[halfwitch]

She grinned. "Then we need to get prepared."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"How should we prepare?" Faolan bounded around her, knowing that Gretel would know what to do.

[halfwitch]

"We need an attack plan. We can't just run in and fight, she'll get us that way." She should know. Just fighting was how she'd been defeated.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Faolan can distract!" the boy offered.

[halfwitch]

"You gotta be faster than her for that." She warned. "You can't get hit."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Am fast! Can be wolf!"

[halfwitch]

"You can do that whenever you want?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"As long as Gretel helps!"

[halfwitch]

"How would I help with that?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Gretel is smart! Can make plans! And Faolan can do things in plans!"
