MCA #10 - Saturday morning

[light_a_spark]

The bed Roy woke up in was rather big, but big beds were fun and he wriggled away from the girl sleeping beside him to inspect the heap of kittens lying at the foot of the bed. Dee got up to inspect him back and her whiskers tickles his cheek and nose, making Roy giggle.

"Stop that! It tickles."

((For the apartment owner.))

"Why not?" Aly asked. "You don't know."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I do know," he finally caved, because he was a kid and he liked cookies. He snagged it up, quickly biting a big piece off.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Can you do it then?" she asked, beaming that he'd eaten the cookie.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Yes," he said, his mouth still full as he squashed the rest of the cookie in.

Aly bounced up. "I wanna ssee!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy blushed, suddenly nervous. "I'm not supposed to."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"No one's gonna stop you," she pointed out. "An I'll do what you say if you do."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He frowned as he considered the bribe. "You can't tell anyone."

She raised her right hand to solemnly draw an x over her heart.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Okay," he still looked wary about the whole thing. "What do you like?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Swords and lockpicks and dresses and horses and doggies and kitties and knives and castles and ponies," Aly said. She took a breath to start with more things.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"One thing!" Roy stopped her instantly, thinking he might sit here for a very long time if she continued.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"You asked what I like!" she protested.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I can't make all of them," he reasoned. "Pick one."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"You pick one!" Aly replied. "I wanna be surprised."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're demanding," he told her. He sat on his knees, scraping the falling cereal together. Might as well make use of it. "I need something to draw."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"You could draw the kitty," Aly pointed out logically.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Something to draw with," Roy corrected.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" She jumped up and ran into the other room. "Like a crayon?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Yes, or chalk," he called back, a little amused that she was being helpful now.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly came back with a big 128 box of crayons. "Don't hurt the tips," she said anxiously.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I won't," he promised, picking out one that would be easy to make out against the kitchen tiles.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She knelt down next to it. "Do you like that one best? Is the colour important?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"No," he told her, starting to draw his transmutation circle. "I just want to see it."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"But the shape is?" she asked. "What if it were invisible? Would it still work?"
