035: Getting In Touch With Your Inner Child

[contract_star]

[Hei is hiding in the forest. Something seems different about him...for starters, HE'S TWELVE. He's also rather furious and pacing among the trees, kicking at things.]

Damn it, damn it, why hasn't it faded yet?

[Stalker Mu is a stalker]I would like very much to know that myself.

[contract_star]

[Folds his arms and glares at the ground. Yes. Hei WHO DOES NOT POUT is pouting.] This is so ridiculous.

[lamb_of_gold]

To put it mildly.

[contract_star]

[Draws one of his knives, which hangs heavily in his hand. He stares at it contemplatively.] It took me a whole year to build up the arm strength to use these. Now I'm back to the point where I can barely even hold them.

...S....Signore....?

[contract_star]

[Sighs.] Hi, Henrietta. Yes, it's me.

[plz excuse, is brainbroken]

[Headtilt] Hi, Shan. You grew backwards.

[contract_star]

Thanks for pointing that out.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Well you did.

[livingchalk.livejournal.com]

Trees generally don't.

[contract_star]

[Looks around at her and blinks, since he's never seen her before.]

Don't what?

[livingchalk.livejournal.com]

Fade.

[You look sort of familiar. But moreover, you're kicking around that tree that Zuko is contemplating against. Or trying to.]

What are you trying to do?

[contract_star]

[Whirls.] O-oh. Prince Zuko.

Um...it's me, Hei.

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Zuko arches an eyebrow.

And stares.

And stares some more.]

... What?

[Juni is barely resisting the urge to make cooing noises, we're making progress!] ...Hei?

[contract_star]

[Hei says >|] ...Yes. It's me.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Juni says :D] Whatever happened to you?

[madamemoiselle]

{Following him~ Now that she has sufficient blood, she's cheerful!} Ne, Hei is still little? How cute. ♥

[contract_star]

It's not!

[madamemoiselle]

It is! Ne, I almost want to give you a hug, but I bet Hei wouldn't like that at all.

[Sitting against a tree, staring rather vacantly at the bite mark on her wrist, running the thumb of her other hand back and forth over it.]

[contract_star]

[Spots her and is half amused, half frustrated.] Now how come you got to change back before me?

...Did something happen to your wrist?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Startled for a moment, then the look she gives him goes rather blank, and then she's not looking at him at all.] I would have thought you'd have changed back by now. I suppose it did happen to me first. Maybe that's why.
