little big eyes

sweet little cotton puff, free from the weight of responsibility and worry, free from the negativity of hate and swollen like a balloon with enough love to share with the entirety of alacritis ten times over. she toddled through the snow delicately, tiny nose twitching excitedly at all of the earth's smells - every prancing step a tantalizing adventure for her ears and nostrils! the fae found it hard to stay cooped up in her metal ship when the world beyond its walls was waiting for her; sure, she stayed behind sometimes, simply because zola attracted armai like a moth to light, the girl was something short of obsessed with sister dearest, absolutely in awe and still clinging to the innocent love of a little sister. calder on the other hand was something like a repellent, and though the girl knew he'd most likely be outside (he'd always get up early and disappear to avoid her incessant whines for cuddles) she didn't run into him often, or if she did the babes usually ignored each others presence.

peals of giggling fluttered up from the wee thing as she pounced forward and tumbled through the snow - clumps of the ivory blanket caught in her downy coat, dampening and leaving it with a terribly unpleasant temperature. the child shivered as she rose to her paws, twisting around to find she'd rolled down a hill that had yet to be explored and had become a bit lost. disoriented and cold, the lass wobbled forward, only to have her numbed nose abruptly meet with the pointy bark of a tree's trunk.

in an instant the silence of the forest was shaken by the sorry gurgles and whimpers of its resident faerie child - her teary lavender eyes were as wide as an unsuspecting doe caught in the blinding lights of a car. the babe's wailing hushed for a moment as she heard a rustling from a nearby bush, and being blind and too flustered to pick out any unfamiliar scents her heart quickened and her mind rushed to the most terrible conclusion possible. the crying of mai grew louder as she shoved her head and shoulders behind a stone, leaving her silver rump and ivory-tipped tail exposed; unknowingly giving predators an easy target.
