53. [voice/action]

[silversnowfall]

I wish there was still snow to play in. Don't you Miss Milly? Now it's just muddy.

[Nevertheless, Nephry and her doll are on an adventure! Trying to get to the library. She loves books and a whole new library full of them is so exciting. She fumbled open her journal while walking, to ask for advice]

Does anyone remember how to find the book place? 

Ah...a-ah-CHOOO! [the book hits the ground]  Oh...I sneezed. [and she promptly sneezes twice more]

[[ooc: Still tiny as an aftereffect of mallynapping. Small Nephry is sad about winter being over so soon. Poor confused snowkid.]]

[Gelda doesn't mind, of course.]

Village squares don't need to be square. What's important is that it's a place for villagers to gather.

[Voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...I think I found it.

[Voice]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Then, you can make it to the library now?

[If so, get inside girl! It's freezing!]

[Voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[she has a coat and mittens!]

Yes Professor.

[Voice]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[But what about a scarf, young missie?]

... I'll be waiting for your return. [And she will dote on Nephry and feed her hot soup.]

[Voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[yep, one of those two! No hat though.]

Okay Professor.

[Nephry will come home with two books. And a very not-feeling-well look on her frozen face, by the time she walks in the door]

[Voice]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[And Gelda will immediately be by her side to lead her to the fireplace. It's defrosting time!]

There you are. I was starting to worry.

[Voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[sniff]

I'm very sorry Professor. Am I in trouble?

[Voice]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Why would you be?

[She's ushering Nephry into the nice hot living room, now. And can you smell the soup?]

[Voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Because I was gone for a long time.

[no she can't. Poor snowkid is all stuffed up. She sneezes again while climbing up onto whatever seat is in the warmest place]

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it wasn't your fault. [She watches Nephry settle down in the chair for a moment.]

Would you like a blanket?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Yes please.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

I'll be right back.

[It may take a little longer; she's going to check up on the soup while she's at it. Within a few minutes, she'll return with the blanket.]

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[your chibi looks like a pale sad sniffly mess. She's cuddling Miss Milly very tight]

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[When she returns she'll wrap the blanket around Nephry's shoulders.]

Did you have a good time outside?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Yes ma'am. But there's not a lot to play with.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Then, how about this? Next time you want to go out exploring, I'll take you to the playground behind the school.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[she nods and pulls the blanket in tighter, coughing]

I don't feel good Professor.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Do you have a headache? [She gently reaches out to feel Nephry's forehead.]

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh.

[and a low fever.]

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[She sighs lightly.] Do you think you'll be able to eat your soup?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Yes ma'am.

[even worse than being sick would be disappointing Professor Nebilim.]

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[Being unable to keep the soup down would be terrible too. Not for the carpeting, but because it would make Gelda more worried.]

Then, I'll get you some. You just sit tight.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[luckily (?) this is just a cold. No ruining the carpet this time.]

Okay.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[She heads into the kitchen and returns a short while later with a bowl of chicken soup. It isn't filled too far, but it should be enough to settle Nephry's appetite. She holds it out for the girl to take.]

Careful, it's hot.
