Old muse looking for a home
Just when I'd grown used to you leaving me alone.
So where are we off to this time? A town full of horrors worse than the Dead? A deadly enchanted forest? A game? I'm still to be collared, I see. Wonderful. Just wonderful.

[A feline sort of smile. He does like to surprise people.]
no subject
It's very nice to meet you.
no subject
[He's trying to decide whether this young woman has any power. Mogget can often, though not always, recognize magical beings like himself.]
no subject
My name is Elsa. May I have the pleasure of knowing yours?
no subject
Names, yes. Mogget will do. Well met, Elsa.
no subject
Where are you from, Mogget?
no subject
The Old Kingdom. A world far from here.
no subject
I could believe that. Do you have kin?
no subject
None. I am a singular creature, you might say. There are none quite like me that I know of anywhere in the kingdom.
[His tone is nonchalant. Perhaps there are or were other entities like himself, but they're not for conversations with strangers.]
no subject
I see. Then it is an even greater honor to meet you.
no subject
[Okay, that was a bit of an insult. But it's more of a dry joke than Mogget really trying to be nasty.]
no subject
[Elsa was more upset by that than a normal person would be. She, who'd spent years locked away trying to hide her secrets, knew what it was like to need silence.]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
no subject
Did you approach me out of curiosity?
no subject
[Elsa had already taken a step back, ready to leave if he asked her to go away.]
no subject
I've experienced much worse, believe me. [He raises a paw, gesturing vaguely in Elsa's direction.] Besides, you haven't told me who you are. A fair exchange of information, don't you think?
no subject
[Elsa straightened up and gave him a small smile.]
I'm Elsa, as you already know, and . . . well, I'm from a place called Arendelle in a country called Norway.
I suppose I'm like you because you could say I'm the only one of my kind as well. I'm human, but there's something about me that's different.
[He'd been straightforward, and she believed in returning the favor, so she held up her hand. A large snowflake formed in the air, spiraling above her fingers, gleaming and bright.]
no subject
Very pretty. And you're the only one of your people who can use such magic? Do you know why?
no subject
I never found out. I just eventually accepted it.
[She didn't tell him that she once regarded it as a curse.]
no subject
[Mogget remains sprawled on his side, looking across as Elsa. Much easier now she's nearer his eye level.]
Then you have a rare gift.
no subject
I can only hope to use it in a way that will make people happy - and safe.
You know - my sister's friend has a reindeer that he pretends can talk. I suppose they can understand each other on a deeper level, but Sven - the reindeer - certainly doesn't talk with human speech. He's a very intelligent reindeer, though.
no subject
Your sister's friend sounds like a fool.
no subject
He saved her life. I don't think he's foolish.
no subject
Even fools can be heroes. Actually, it's not uncommon. But I suppose you must be grateful.
no subject
no subject
Why was your sister in need of saving?
