004 [text] Day 524

[boogerman]

Those who knew Bunnymund, the rabbit's gone home. And you know what they say, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

It's just you lot and me now.

[He doesn't care, but this might stop someone from accusing him of elaborate foul play.]

Comments

[boogerman]

They're not all so big.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She frowns.]

Show.

[boogerman]

You asked for it.

[Small, fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand shadow horses. See how many he can hold the shapes of at one time now... ten, if she can count.]

[fuckingwolverine]

[She's fascinated-- granted, more by the fact that they're shadow than anything else. Tiny horses aren't any more unusual to her than big horses.

She knows she can't touch them through the bracelet display, but she reaches forward and presses a finger at the hologram anyway.]

[boogerman]

[His little friends. Keep them 'alive' long enough and they'll only be easier to make solid...]

My horses, however big or small I want them to be.

[fuckingwolverine]

Pretty!

[Lilly approves.]

[boogerman]

'Pretty'?

[Well...]

That's true.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She nods.]

Dark.

[boogerman]

You're one weird little thing.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She just shrugs at that. WHATEVER; SHE GIVES NO FUCKS.]

[boogerman]

What scares you?

[fuckingwolverine]

[Hmmm. Hard question for a six-year-old. Not that she doesn't fear anything-- obviously, there's a lot that she does. But it's all stuff that's hard to articulate.]

bad things hard things no mama

[boogerman]

What are 'bad things'?

[fuckingwolverine]

[Lilly just give him a dubious look. Does he really not know the difference between a bad thing and a good thing?

Sorry, Pitch. Perspective and shades of gray are a little beyond her.]

[boogerman]

That could mean anything, especially me.

[fuckingwolverine]

youre not scary you look like mama

[boogerman]

I look like your mother?

[Excuse you.]

[fuckingwolverine]

[She nods, unaware of anything strange about this.]

[boogerman]

Shame there's not much you could tell me.

[fuckingwolverine]

why

i can tell

[boogerman]

So tell me.

[fuckingwolverine]

ok mamas like that shes big and has shadows and mist and can move in the walls mama is dark

[boogerman]

[This face is a stunned face.]

Your mother is a shadow spirit? Where do you live?

[fuckingwolverine]

[boogerman]

Before that.
