The room of a particular chicken Sin'aeis was anything but quiet. Her reading, writing, whatever else lessons had begun about an hour ago, but the mind of Akilah seemed to be somewhere else.
"Kilah, are you even TRYING to pay attention?"
No answer.
"Kilah?"
Again, nothing.
So, this time, came a hiss and a shout. "AKILAH ANN KTHER, PAY ATTENTION BEFORE I BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH THIS BOOK!"
The child nearly jumped ten feet in the air, nodding her head rapidly. "S-sorry, Lucky! I didn't mean to, I just..."
"Zoned out? I noticed." Rolling her yellow eyes, she sighed and leaned back in her chair, placing two fingers on her forehead and druming the ones on her other hand on the table. "You're not going to be able to focus, are you?"
At first, she only laughed. "Nah, I don't think so just yet. Still getting use to...this, ya know?"

Mignon hummed happily as she skipped towards Kilah's house. She even had permission to go, and by herself! Getting bigger had it's perks.
But she just had to see if Kilah was bigger, too. They'd gotten bigger together last time, so hopefully Kilah would be about the same size. She hoped so, because there weren't any other girls her size, only 'Kito and Aard.
She prowled around outside for a moment before walking up to the hut. "Hello? Anyone home?" She called, knocking at the door.

"Mignon?!" Came the immediate response. Kilah could tell by her voice she'd grown too, not that she had doubted it. Yukito's voice sounded different when he got bigger, too. Without thinking, she got up and dashed toward the door...
...only to hit the frame near the door and fall backwards. "********!" She screeched, holding her nose which hopefully wasn't broken. At least she didn't have her nose ring in anymore, or that might've REALLY hurt.
"You're alright," Lucky assured her, chuckling as she saw the blood run through her hands. "Damn, girl, you should be more careful!" Reaching over to grab the box of tissues, she tossed them toward her. "Wipe your nose off, I'll get the door."
Kilah obeyed, and Lucky kept her word, yanking the wooden door open only a second later. She seemed slightly surprised but what she found. "Oh, it's blondie. My, my, you're quite the pretty one now, aren't you?"

"Thank you, Lucky." She said immediantly. "I heard Kilah... she sounds different. Is she bigger, too?" She grinned up at Lucky. "Can I come in?"
[[Be right back.]]

(Alright.)
"Oh, yeah, of course." The only company Kilah had recently had just came right in. Clearly she'd expected Mignon to do the same, but still stepped aside and held the door open for her. See? She could be polite...kind of... "Kilah's in her room. Suppose to be studying, but she's not anyway, so feel free to go crash her room."
That said, she departed into the kitchen. Lucky ran on coffee. Coffee and a few other things, but mostly coffee.

She waved at Lucky before heading to Kilah's room. "Kilah?" She called, peeking in.
"Oh, dear." She said after a moment, eyes wide. "You gonked yourself, didn't you?" Her voice was kind of faint. Kilah looked so different, but so pretty! Her hair was so interesting, but not cool as her own.
"You look... Pimp, Kilah." She finished after a moment, using the coolest compliment her mind could think of.

"Uh...right. So I take you it grew too. That's good, I wish I could see you." She wished she could see behind her, too. Sure, she had great hearing, but with Mignon there she could mistake Lucky sneaking around for her friend walking. "Lucky isn't here anymore, is she?"
As she asked, her fingers ran along the extra pocket on her pants. "I got daggers," she continued casually. "Three of 'em, they're pretty cool."

"Well, she's not here now." Mignon said, recovoring a bit. "I'm glad you're big, too. It'd be lonley being bigger with only Kito and Aard for company."
"My hair's long, like yours, but curly now." She grabbed a few fistfulls of it. "And my face is chubbier than yours."
"Daggers? Cool. Fits you." Mignon nodded.

"Sounds cool." With word Lucky was gone, she opened the earlier mention pocket and pulled one of the black cases out, setting it on the table carefully after opening it. It wasn't that Lucky would be mad she had them, but she might not like the idea of her showing them off. "Pretty, isn't it? This ones my favorite."
Setting her elbow on the table, she leaned the side of her face into her hand and made a small 'hm' sound. "That's right, isn't it? Aside from you and me, tomato boy and Pansy are the only ones as old as us."

"Very shiny." Mignon agreed. "Looks sharp. Have you cut yourself yet?"
"Well, there's Chaco, but he doesn't count, 'cause he's allways been there. Just us for are this big. Hopefully some of the others'll grow soon, like Flitch and Lyrus and Taryn and Lorelei."

"Nah, but I've got a few people in mind to test it on." Her tone made it hard to tell if she was joking or not, chances were the latter. Carefully, she closed the case with one hand and back into her pocket it went. "Yeah, it'd be cool if Lyrus was older, too." The rest of them too, but she didn't care half as much. "We should probably like being bigger by ourselves, though. We're special being the oldest girls, you know."

"Don't kill anyone, Kilah. That'd suck. You can hurt 'em, if they're bad, though." Mignon felt sorry for Aard and Yukito. They'd probably come on the wrong side of her dagger soon enough.
"I'm glad it's you that grew with me. But since we grew up together last time, it's not surprising. We're queens of the Sins!" She giggled at that.

"You know, for acting like such a goody goody you sure have an obsession with high positions of power." Her friend smirked at this, pulling her hat off and running a hand through her hair. Wasn't it Mignon who had been excited her marrying Momoro would make her a queen? Maybe there was hope for her yet.
"Kill them? I wouldn't give them the luxury. Don't worry, I won't stab Pansy. Tomato boy, I won't promise anything. Just remember, he hit me first." She wasn't lying, either. The first fight, the first punch, had surprisingly been thrown by Aard, not her.
"But that's my worry, not yours. Done anything interesting since the change? Sango wants to teach me to throw that stupid boomerang of hers."

"If you're a real queen, then you have lots and lots of jewels and clothes and stuff, and people have to do what you say. And if they're mean to you: Glllllk!" She drew a finger across her throat. "Off with their heads! Kabam!"
"Yuki's interesting. He has a tail, a furry one at that. Dhee has a tail, but it's scaly." She smiled at a memory, thinking Kilah would be proud. "If I call Dhee "Daddy", I can get him to buy me just about anything. I got some nice jewlery the other day."
"Well, I got enrolled in ballet lessons in Barton. Once a week, and I get to learn how to dance. Should be fun."

At first, she half-listened, but as Mignon continued she eventually gathered her attention completely. For a minute she didn't even do so much as blink, then suddenly burst into laughter. Not the forced or fake kind she usual did, but an honest laugh. Her hands flew from the table so quickly, the chair she was sitting in tipped over and down she went.
Even as she got up, using the table as support, she continued her laughter for a few seconds more. "Mignon, you're so evil!" That wasn't true, and she knew it, but she certainly was proud, and there was no doubt now there was some hope her best friend could be more...violent/demanding/whatever else-ish.
"Dance, huh? I hate that stuff, but you'll probably be good at it. Lucky teaches me everything I know." To demonstrate such, she reached under the table for the pack of cigarettes she knew had been hidden there by her teacher (away from Noyama's sight). Breaking the tape that held it up, she pulled the package out, ripped it open, took a cigarette out and shoved it into her mouth. "See? Like this. Banda likes these, too. I don't know why, they taste horrible."
