Critterific!

❛   I can’t honestly say bear cubs are exactly subtle in their nature, Fawn. ❜  The scout fairy lamented, recalling the gargantuan paw-prints that revealed the whereabouts of Fawn and Tinkerbell’s most recent companion. ❛  I would happily take my business elsewhere, if it didn’t constantly revolve around your own questionable behavior. ❜

Fawn leaned her head back and looked up at the sky. It seemed nice – the light fairies would be going up there soon enough to grab some lights for rainbows and that gave Fawn a smart idea. If Nyx was going to tell her off, or try and follow her, she could swerve around the light fairies to hide from Nyx and maybe even… evade her. “Well – if youuu pretend you don't know about this… then no one has to! I'll have the cubs outta the Hollow before you know it!” “Last time, Nyx, promiseeee,” Another empty promise AND they both knew it, but what could Fawn say? She needed to help her animals – dangerous or not. She knew the bear cubs had enjoyed getting out of their hiding hole to venture around and annoy them… and Rosetta didn't enjoy the idea of being near bear snot with one of the cubs having a cold… but still!

“These pants officially don't fit anymore. Fuck it."

“ Yes it’s a little like a protector there are five of us . We all have an element and Will has the heart. I still feel like I should have been leader but she does a fine job. ” She thought a little and said “ I guess so yes. But a little larger. Not just the plants. “ She smiled now she was interested. “ An animal talent fairy that sounds like a lot of fun. Are there any other talent fairies ? “

“Five guardians… like you?” Fawn was quickly processing things in her mind, that was what she did – when she met a new animal friend she would process what they were like, their personality, what they needed to learn – and how they learned them. Here she was learning about guardians, they weren't quite animals but they were perking her interest. “If you wanna be the leader why don't you apply to be? You seem to think you're better off?” Or didn't it work that way?         “Plenty, there's garden fairies, light fairies, tinker fairies, water fairies, animal fairies – fast flying fairies; and that's just to start off with,” She laughed, “But I wanna know more about you. How'd you become a guardian? I've never heard of them before.”

                    ❝We’ve already talked about watching TV at this hour, Fawn. I don’t want you to leave your homework for later in the evening,❞ she replied in an unusually stern voice. Her daughters rarely gave her any reason to be too strict towards them. The woman walked towards the half open door, completely oblivious to what hid behind it. ❝Have you finished everything yet? Nyx told me yesterday you were having trouble with Maths.❞

“Homework… maths… right, Nyx -” She looked away from her mother and glanced down at the scrambling pup who she was trying her best to quit scratching at the door and giving away that it was there. “Of course she did,” She nudged the puppy again and then looked up at Clarion before she smiled as if a lightbulb went off in her head. She shut the door a little more, but enough so that she could still see her mother (and honestly, Fawn, honey, you're not fooling anyone right now), “I could really do with some help with my homework. Gimme five minutes, I'll grab my maths book and meet you downstairs?” It would at least keep Clarion from seeing the puppy in her room? Fawn just had to plead, plead, plead deep down that her mother wouldn't say that it was fine and they could just look over her homework in her bedroom. Because… well… there would be no hiding it then. Fawn couldn't exactly hide a living, breathing dog under her bed without it moving. She wasn't that clever. “Fractions,” She scrunched up her nose, “I'm horrible at them.”

               "Are we talking about a nothing with pointed teeth or a nothing with sharp claws, this time? I need to know.“

Oh, drats, looked like Nyx was onto her this time – again – though to be honest, it wasn't like Nyx was blind… it seemed the Scout Fairy always knew when Fawn was up to something. (Although, Fawn didn't really do a good job at hiding when she was up to something!) “--- Well, not saying that there is something… but if, if if if, there was… then… maybe think more… both… with wings?” She adored helping out animals; and the bat needed her help… so she was going to do it! “But y'know there's nothing so, you don't have to worry your pretty little head about anything! Thank you for your concern, though!”

“Does Rosetta want them all done today? she asked Fawn.

“… Y'know maybbeee I could help?” The girl threw her ponytail from across her shoulder to over it before hovering up into the air a little to get a better look at the messy garments that remained in the basket. “I know I'm probably not gonna be that good at it; i'm an animal talent fairy not a laundry fairy, but how hard can it be.” She looked at Lympia before flashing her an apologetic look as if to say that she wasn't making fun of how 'easy' her work must have been compared to hers. “And, I knoooow I always make a mess of things, or make things worse but I promise I'll be extra careful.” She pulled away a little, “Calm it, Fawn, calmm down,” Fawn told herself, trying to control her breathing and running a hand across her face. “I just hate to think I've thrown you all in it. It was my fault after all… kinda… she shouldn't have been so… so Rosetta.” Oh yes, Fawn, it was really your fault – you're throwing the blame away already.

          Mei listened to the little creature speak, admiring the existance of           her. Such a beautiful and small being. She has not heard of such           legends and lessons of little people. It was remarkable. And they           made small jingles when they speak. “What a beautiful being. Do           not worry, little one. Nothing will come of you while you are here.”

Even if the woman couldn't understand her words – Fawn could very, very easily understand hers… and she was rather interested, and curious (damn that nature of hers) to see and hear more… humans were kinda like animals, right? She could simply make that comparison and maybe (not likely) get away with it if the other fairies found her around fairies, right? Turning a little and peeking from around the leaf she was hiding behind, Fawn looked at the princess with curious big hazel eyes, “Really? Cause… there's so much I wanna know about,” She stopped, flying out from her hiding spot and pressing her hand to her mouth. Not so much to stop herself from talking, but because she just realised that the girl couldn't understand her. “You.”

      “I, oh Hycainthe; hi... hello,” She moved up, hovering slightly off of where she had been ‘keeping watch’ and chuckled nervously. She was... in no way ( meaning in every way ) up to mischief with Tinkerbell. “Work, my work?” She pointed to herself, “Oh, right, preparing for the animals coming back from Winter, just fine, absolutely fine! The rabbits are so excited says the WInter animal talent fairies.”
