"Okay, fly me to Kou?"

Permalink
"Sure."

Off she goes, zooming her daughter along.
Permalink
"Eeeeeee!"

And when they reach Kou close enough for him to be tapped, she taps him on the shoulder and says, of course: "I fairy magic you."

Eventually she has fairy magicked everyone who it is convenient to find and falls asleep on her mama.



It is weeks later when Nika espies that Gregor has maple sugar candies. She toddles up to him (tripping once along the way) and says "Gregor Gregor Gregor can I have some?"
Permalink

"Sure," he says, and gives her one. With a little smile.

Permalink

Nika says "thank you!" ever so politely and then walks very carefully so as not to drop her prize. Nibble, nibble.

Miles, sitting in a different room, espies that Nika has a maple sugar candy.

"Hey Nika," he says. "Is the candy good?"
Permalink

"Mm-hm!" Nibble nibble. "Maple is my favorite."

Permalink

"Where'd you get it?"

Permalink

"I asked Gregor and he gave it."

Permalink

"Could you go get me one when you're done yours? You can practice walking," says Miles.

Permalink
"Okay," says Nika. Nibble nibble nibble. Her candy is all gone. Back she goes to Gregor.

"Miles wants one too," she tells him.
Permalink
...Gregor snorts.

"Miles has had three," he says. "He asked me for one and then he sent Sergeant Bothari to get one and then he sent your mama to get another one."
Permalink

"Oh," says Nika. "But he sent me too."

Permalink
"Yes," sighs Gregor. "Yes he did."

He gives Nika another maple candy.
Permalink

"Miles had three?" muses Nika suspiciously.

He gives Nika another maple candy.
Permalink

Nika beams and hugs his leg and goes and eats them in front of Miles, humming.

Permalink


Miles makes a pitiful face.
Permalink

"You had three," she says.

Permalink

"But I wanted another one," he says. "And I asked you to get me one and you said you would and then you didn't."

Permalink


Oh dear.

Nika sighs and gets up again.

"He wanted four," she explains to Gregor.
Permalink

"Do you also want four?" inquires Gregor.

Permalink

"That is fair," says Nika solemnly.

Permalink
"Yes it is."

He gives her two candies.
Permalink

"Thank you," says Nika sunnily, and she goes to give one of the new candies to Miles.
