Mr. Eccentricity
"What shall we do now?" she asked, awed by how the word "we" came so easily to her. It meant something else to Red now.
She's not so little anymore...  "Well, now we get some breakfast," Molly tells her, picking herself up from the floor and dusting off her skirts. "You didn't eat much of anything last night, so that one is top priority." She goes about setting up the fire again, this time using the spit to boil the water for tea. She passes a few bundles from her pouches over to Red, getting her to help with unwrapping the dried fruits and sweet jerkies held within. "When we get to the coast, we'll do some fishin. I'll make you up the best halibut you've ever tasted. I steam it with a bit o lemon, and maybe some rosemary if I can get me hands on it.." she rambles off to you as the two of you prepare the breakfast finger foods. After nibblies are thoroughly enjoyed, Molly sets about cleaning up camp in lieu of departure. "You want to be hittin that river before we head out? Clean up a bit?" she asks, folding up a blanket and stuffing it into her knapsack. "It'll probably take us another day of walking before we make it to the coast."

  Red frowned a bit as she was removed from Molly, but an odd relief spread over her after leaving another's human immediate presence. Her body told her she was not used to this interaction, but she would struggle, if only for Molly. She nodded at Molly's request and continued to help her throughout like an obedient child to its mother. She thought not of the resemblance to the way she acted with her grandmother, for surely a fit would have arisen if so.
Finally, when they had eaten, some comfort brought warmth to Red, so she could respond easily.
"If you want, I shall be no trouble either way," she said. She had gone a couple days without bathing quite a few times before, and she cared not. But if Molly wanted to, she would not object.
She's not so little anymore...

Molly rambles on as she collects the rest of their things. Taking one more look around the cave, she smiles to Red. "Let's be off then, shall we?"The girls set off into the forest. Molly moves at a fairly quick pace, which seems to be her normal speed. It doesn't stop her from chatting though. "If you had a chance, what would be the one thing you'd want most to see?" she asks randomly as they walk, "Anything at all. Castles? Water you could stand on? Plants that grow so high, you can climb up them to the clouds?" Molly glances at you, "What would it be?"

(( Puppeting for Rowan )) Draw_Kill
After a small while, the group ended up on the road on the far side of the forest, making good time. Of the group though, Pinnochio was quite hesitant to enter unto the road.
_________________________________________________________
"I don't think anybody will be to happy to see a walking doll next to you, they might think you're a witch or something...." Pinnochio said in explanation.
 If not for the confinements of her swan form, Odette would have smiled. She knew what it was like to be trapped by a curse, forced to carry herself in a form that others might judge. Her gentle heart felt for the young man. "And a talking swan is somehow better than a wooden boy?"she teases him lightly, the warmth in her voice assuring that her humour does not in any way dampen her understanding of his concern. Belle had to agree. She was faintly surprised at Odette's open playfullness with the stranger. Especially in her swan form, the girl was usually so shy around others. Perhaps she felt more of a kinship with the young man, because of his unusual curse. "Odette is right. You have been nothing but helpful to us. We are not ashamed to walk beside you." she replies to Pinocchio. "Were you headed somewhere before you met us? We would not want you to be delayed on our account."

 "But..." he started, but looking into thier eyes, he knew the argument was over before it begun, "Oh all right.... but bad things will happen if we stay on the road for too long." he said as he stepped on to the road with his eyes darting to and fro. ____________________________________________________________ Clear on the other side of the oakwood forest, a single woodsman stood still as he smelled the air, "I smell Cedar and rose wood in this forest, seems you haven't lost me yet my wooden freind." and with that he took the large axe from his back and stomped stoicly into the darkness.

"Were you headed somewhere before you met us?" she repeats, curiously, adding this time a response to his last comment, "What do you mean, bad things happen?"

Minai chan  The sound of the chandelier crystals tinkling draws the girl's attention, causing her to look back towards the light, just in time to catch sight of the tiny object falling to the floor. Startled, the sweeping cat leaps back as something thumps into it's pile of dirt and fur. Dropping its broom, the cat crouches down on its hunches, ready to pounce. "Wait," the human girl calls out quietly. Bare feet quickly patter over to the pile, and she kneels down to examine it. Picking through the dust, she gently pulls the little faerie from the floor. The broom cat edges closer, still ready to pounce at need. The girl stands, nimble figures lightly brushing away the dirt the excess dirt around the wee fey. "Are you alright, little lovely?" the young woman asks, concerned. Tinkerbell  Tinkerbell stared as if frozen at the human who had rescued her from possibly being the next meal. Slowly she began to move again, her eyes blinking and her faint glow growing stronger. She stood up on her feet upon the girls palm and shook the rest of the dirt off of herself. Brushing off her little dress and patting her tussled hair back down. In response to the question Tinkerbell nodded her head, a small smile upon her lips. Her wings gave a light flutter and two short, faint, high pitched tinkleing bell rings was heard from no where in particular. Without speaking, this was Tink's way of communicating. And though in most cases she would have flown away, never to be seen again by the creature, she figured that this coinsidental accident could become rather helpful for her. (¯`•.(¯`•.(¯`•.

She glances down at the broom cat who is curiously watching the object in her hand. Deciding it's best to move, she maneuvers back over to the counter where she had been working before. Gently she sets the fairy down upon the windowsill. "Are you hungry?" she asks.

Follow the breadcrumbs...
Gretel listened carefully, as if she had another choice.
"Hm... well, that certainly is strange. I'm sorry I can't help you more, though I have food if you are hungry?" she seemed to ask. Gretel was eager to get him on his way before Hansel returned home, though not without proper preparation. She could tell by the feel of the air what time it was, and she had to get him to leave soon.
...If you dare

Red nodded once Molly faced her. She made sure she had her bag, crossbow, and most importantly, her axe. A sadistic grin flashed over her mouth as she uncovered it from the earth and held it in her hand. The bloodstains from yesterday's kill lingered, so Red took the extra minute to clean what she could off with dirt. Finally, Molly commanded their leave, and Red got up from her work and left, crossbow and bag on her back, axe in hand.
Molly's question surprised Red, but she considered it nonetheless. Her mind drifted, and what she finally decided may or may not have answered her question.
"A happy, whole family," she said. Suddenly, the reality of what she said - an exposing thing at that - hit her and she lowered her gaze so that the hood of her cloak casted a shadow over her eyes.
She's not so little anymore...

Tinkerbell Set down upon the windowsill Tinkerbell kept her gaze upon the watching cat. She had never liked felines, and for good reason. They always seemed attracted to her petite flying body so their swiping paws would constantly be trying to knock her out of the air. But this particular one seemed a little strange, as if it had never seen a fairy before. Now that was just ridicuous. Though the idea did not seem so far fetched as soon as the human girl questioned her about her appetite. Tinkerbell glanced around the room, hungry she may be but she doubted this girl knew anything about feeding a fey. By the looks of this strange place she probably didn't even own a single drop of honeysuckle necter. Therefore in reply she vigorously shook her head no, the familiar tinkle emitting from her once again. Tinkerbell remained standing, staring up at the girl. She didn't know what to do, but knew for one that she could not leave. The girl was exactly what Tinkerbell needed now she just had to work her charm and wait for the opportunity to appear. With that Tinkerbell lightly plopped down onto her bottom, scooting to the edge of the windowsill she left her little legs to dangle off the edge as she swung them back and forth. (¯`•.(¯`•.(¯`•.

"If you are hungry by morning, the garden will be fresh from the evening rains. I'm sure you could find something out there." Taking her tea cup in hand, she gives a nervous glance out the window where the dusk will soon be announcing its arrival. "I'm afraid I cannot keep you company out here little one, " she tells the fey, pressing the mug to her chest. "But if you wish, I can show you somewhere soft to sleep. I might even be willing to share with you my own little companion. He's about your size."

At the mention of a garden Tinkerbell glanced behind her through the window. She couldn't see anything other than the black nothingness of the darkness from outside. Standing up she placed her hands upon the cool window and cupped them around her eyes. She could see the faint outline of the flowers now, the combination of rain and wind causing the petals to dance. Turning back towards the girl Tink nodded her head. The garden was more than suffient to please her appetite. As the girl announces that she will be leaving, Tink flies up in a sudden panic. She couldn't just leave! She hadn't even started working yet. Though listening to the rest of what she had to say Tink landed back upon the windowsill, blowing her sudden frenzy off as nothing. She was sure the girl would be returning to this room sometime. It wasn't as if she would be gone and disappear forever. Back into a calm state Tinkerbell looked at her with curiosity and interest. A companion her size? Was there also another fairy around? Looking up at her Tink managed to communicate with just a mezmorizing look into her eyes that a soft place to retire for the night would be greatly appreciated and a fellow to keep her company would also be rather pleasing.
