guardian of memories

　　❛⠀'m so proud of ya, /getting/ into the naughty list is the start ─┄┄ now you just gotta work your way up.⠀❜

She's still not happy about this - but she can't fight back the smile creeping onto her features, arms folding over her chest as she hovers in place.

❝ And dethrone you to become top of the list? Never happening. The Naughty List was made for you! ❞

　　❛⠀maybe ya scared too many kiddos with gums ﹠ teeth﹖⠀❜

A pause. She still feels bad about that!

❝ —It was one time! And it's not like I meant to scare her... Surely that doesn't warrant the Naughty List? ❞

Her little hand reached out to take the tooth back but hesitated as the fairy told her of it's value, "What if it doesn't have happy memories?" she asked, her brows wrinkling in thought. "Happy things don't happen to me anymore."

The Guardian is momentarily taken aback by the young girl's words, overcome with concern and sympathy. For one so young to seem so troubled... It was always a shame to come across children with so much sadness in their hearts, and this gifted young princess seemed to carry a heavy weight on her shoulders.

Lowering herself to her knees to further match Elsa's height, the fairy queen smiles once more; pink gaze conveying a warmth and assurance that she hoped would put the girl at ease.

❝ Your teeth are just like anyone else's, and I'll protect them just as much as I protect all the others. They even get their own special box that only you, me and my fairies can open! They'll be perfectly safe, I promise. ❞ She speaks, and the small entourage of mini-fairies hovering to her side promptly nod and squeak in agreement.

❝ It sounds like you're having a difficult time, little one. Would you like to tell me a little more about what's troubling you? Maybe you could start by telling me your name? ❞

Well... This was awkward. It wasn't often that she and her fairies got confronted by the children whose teeth they were collecting. With a sheepish smile, Tooth allows her feet to touch the ground - wings coming to rest behind her back and allowing her to be closer to the young girl's height; hoping to seem less intimidating. She was a stranger in her bedroom, after all.

❝ Well... You're of course welcome to keep them, but perhaps you should understand what it is that we do with them. ❞ She speaks softly, holding out her hand both to show the lost tooth and to allow the girl to take it back if she wished.

❝ Each tooth that you lose holds the most precious memories of your childhood. My fairies and I collect them and keep them safe, so that we can return those memories to you when you feel lost and afraid. That's my duty as the Guardian of Memories. ❞ She explains, a gentle smile upon her features.
