She's awfully loud for someone so small.

[toymakerschild]

Hello again, Miss Mun!

This is very exciting, being here and getting to explore everythin'! I get to go on an adventure, don't I? I could help solve a case too! Please, Miss Mun? Please?

Oh! An' I have to be sure to tell my daddy or he'll worry.

[ Have the most excited, cutest bb mouse ever. ]

So, can I? Can I please?

[cursedtosleep]

Well, hello again, Olivia.

Are doing alright?

[compromisedarrow]

Ooookay.

[Looking down at the mouse.]

This is interesting.

[thisclinchesit]

Help solve a case, eh?

[prpl_assistant]

Well, aren't you a dear? Though I think you're a bit too young for an adventure. They can be very dangerous.

[And traumatizing.]

[napoleonicrat]

Well, Mister Flavisham's esteemed daughter!

And on her own, looking for adventure! Most quaint.

[ifyoullexcuseme]

Olivia? Is that you?

[usual]

[ a-ah... another mouse? but she's so small, so small... ]

An adventure? Aren't you scared? It sounds like it can be dangerous out there... Scary...

[toymakerschild]

Aurora! Hello, Aurora!

Oh, I'm okay. Miss Mun has been lookin' around again to find me a place to visit!

[toymakerschild]

[ She, on the other hand, has to lean way back so that she can look up at Clint. ]

You're really big...

[toymakerschild]

Yes! They're very exciting and fun too!

[toymakerschild]

I can be careful, honest! An' I always do my best to help too!

[toymakerschild]

What do you want? Basil beat you already!

[ She's glaring at him so much. How precious. ]

[toymakerschild]

[ One would think it's Christmas or something she's just that happy. Also, incoming hug. ]

Of course it's me!

[toymakerschild]

Well, it could be. But even if it is scary, I can be brave like Basil and Dr. Dawson!

[compromisedarrow]

[Hunkering down to get closer.]

You sure you're not just small?

[prpl_assistant]

I'm sure you do. You seem like a very nice young mouse. But these places aren't really meant for children. Even adults find them scary too.

[toymakerschild]

You're especially big though! I don't talk to humans often but you're all big to me!

[compromisedarrow]

[A grin there.] I'm only 5'10". Boots add an inch or so.

And I don't speak to many mice.

[toymakerschild]

I know... but I dun like to stay behind. I want to help others!

[prpl_assistant]

[She's. So. Precious.]

I'm sure there are other places that need one special mouse to help out at that aren't dangerous.

[toymakerschild]

That's still bigger than me!


[ Biggest smile ever. ] You should!

[toymakerschild]

[ So excited. Warning: About to get cuter. ]

Really? I hope so! Maybe my mun will find it!

[compromisedarrow]

Yeah. I s'pose. How tall are ya? Can't be more than five inches.

[He grins slightly.] Hawks and mice often don't mix, but we'll see. Might not see you, though.

[prpl_assistant]

[There's only so much cute the muse and the mundane can handle. ]

There are. Not a lot, but I'm sure there is somewhere that's just right for you.

[toymakerschild]

[ It will be difficult, but there will be an attempt to tone down the cute. No promises though. ]

Oh, I just can't wait! This'll be so much fun! I can meet new people and go on adventures and look for mysteries to solve!

[toymakerschild]

[ So sorry, Clint. She's looking so very confused right now. ]

But... you're a human. How can you be a hawk? I dun see any feathers...

[prpl_assistant]

[Thank you. Much appreciated.]

Mysteries, huh? What sort of mysteries do you like?

[ifyoullexcuseme]

[prying her off now]

All right all right that's quite enough of that!

What the devil are you thinking trying to get your mun to let you go on an adventure? And why exactly would your father ever allow such a thing?

[toymakerschild]

All kinds of mysteries!

[ And to emphasis this she lifts her arms and swings them out. ]

[toymakerschild]

Well, I heard there were loads of places to go and I wanted to see them for myself! My mun is trying to find a place that'll be safe for me so that daddy'll know I'll be okay!

[prpl_assistant]

[Oh oh oh, what happened to toning down the cute? Crouching down so she doesn't seem so big, she chuckles when the mouse tells her about her love of mysteries.]

Do you have a particular favourite mystery? I don't really know much about them, maybe you can share a few with me.

[ifyoullexcuseme]

S-Safe? None of these places are safe! Your Mun clearly has less idea of the word than Dawson has of how to properly handle Toby!

[Basil gives a sheepish smile] N-no offense intended, of course.

[cursedtosleep]

Oh is that so? I hope you find a very good home, Olivia. What is your writer looking for?

[toymakerschild]

Some place that isn't very scary and won't be too dangerous for me to be! Also, she hopes to find somewhere that'll have lots of kind people so that I can make friends or, in case my daddy isn't there, have someone look after me. But I can take care of myself so I'll be okay!

[toymakerschild]

[ There were no promises! ]

Oh, well, there are mysteries like things being stolen or mice going missing! Things like that happen a lot at home.

[toymakerschild]

She's trying though... she means well, really! And I'm trying to help too so that I won't be a bother to anyone!

[cursedtosleep]

You know Olivia, even if you can take care of yourself if someone wishes to help take care of you then I think that may be best. Your father would want you under the best care.

[prpl_assistant]

[You fiend!]

And you help to solve these mysteries? You must be a very clever mouse then.

[compromisedarrow]

Ahaha... Uh...

It means I'm like a hawk.

[usual]

B-but what if there's a cat somewhere? Will you be okay?

Sorry for slowness, I'm on vacation >.>

[ifyoullexcuseme]

[No, no, not that faaaace. Ugh...

Basil puts a hand to his forehead for a moment.]

How can you possibly find a place that's safe for a mouse? Merely being around humans is going to be dangerous enough as it is, much less finding somewhere that doesn't have some sort of crazy monster that will be unceasingly out to kill you!
