[maddest]

[Break is sitting on his windowsill, blissfully unaware of the fact that the PCD has turned on where it's sitting on his desk. He reaches one of his legs out, barefoot, stretching so it makes it past the shelter of the awning and out into the raindrops falling outside.

Amusing himself like this for a few seconds longer, he keeps a tight hold on the frame for balance.

The whirr of the PCD eventually alters him to the fact that it's running. He glances over his shoulder sharply.]

No, no. Not like that.

[Shaking his head.]

Like what then?

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Like when he fibs about Dora, or Methuselah or angels.

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

He's going to fib about them?

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

He might, if he finds himself very, very afraid.

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

Then. Then I'll just have to make sure that he doesn't get afraid.

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I don't think that's really your responsibility, little bit.

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

But I don't want him to be afraid.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Then just do what you can. Love him back, and let him know you'll hug him when he's sad.

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

I can do that.

I've never met a young man so brave.

... [Ducking behind his hair now, he's still bad at dealing with compliments.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Now, what are you going to do if Dora Folk tries to talk to you again?

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

T... tell him hes a bad man and turn off the PCD and tell either you or Yuca right away?

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

And on no account let him know where you are.

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

[Fiercely shaking his head.]

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Then everything is going to be just fine.

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

Thank you mister Break.

You're looking out for Yuca and me both, aren't you?

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

A little. But not very well, I'm afraid- and don't tell Yuca that, he likes to feel like he's the grown up in the situation.

[Ruffling his hair again.]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

I think you're doing fine.

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Nutty as a fruitcake!

[Emily bemoans, cheerfully. Break reaches a hand up to cover her mouth.]

So cruel, Emily. Maybe he just likes us?

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

[Staring at Emily again. But not offended.]

I do.

[offline]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

There, see?

[The doll huffs, but otherwise remains silent on the issue.]

She likes you.

[offline]

[freyasknight.livejournal.com]

... I like her too.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

[Emily shrieks in glee, and topples off Break's shoulder.]

You'll have to excuse her- she's a little excitable.
