The Estate, After Lunch, (Morning Fandom Time)

Nov 18, 2013 20:00

When Mallory had been asked by Queen Ilyse and Prince Audric to come tutor their young daughter, he had been honored and delighted. Several months later, the shiny had been rubbed off both the honor and delight, but he had become fond of enough Karla to continue to teach her for years, up until the tragic accident that had claimed her parents' ( Read more... )

And all around the estate came chaos... glacial_queen November 19 2013, 01:01:18 UTC

For the changing back from weetinies to adults!

(Don't worry, your clothes change with you, but may be a little worse for wear!)

Warren probably wouldn't have immediately noticed his change back from small to much larger, if not for the fact that he had tuckered himself out earlier in the day attempting to actually gain some altitude with his stubby little wings (Lucivar was one Hell of an enabler), and he'd been curled up and napping in his father's lap.

Which had been weird, even for Warren at age seven. His father had never really been the particularly tender sort, especially after his wings had come in, but for the past couple of days he'd been really, really... something. Nice? Fond, maybe.

When his father yelped and jumped in reaction to a small Warren suddenly being a much larger Warren, the appropriate reaction was, from there, to flail and yelp in turn, right?

Or was that just the reaction that was most likely to lead to a tangle of wings and other assorted limbs being dumped from an armchair that was too small for two adults down to the floor?

... Probably that second one.

"Ow."

Was it wrong that, for just a single moment, Jr was saddened that the magic had ended? His relationship with this younger version of his son was much more simple and uncomplicated.

Warren napping in his arms had both awakened and fulfilled an obscure pang in his chest. Thwarted fatherhood, perhaps.

"Are you okay, my boy?" he asked, standing up and holding out his hand for Warren to take to pull himself up off the floor. "Well, I mean, of course you're okay, your healing factor has already taken care of any contusions, but...what I meants was..."

Oh good. Babbling. Just the skill every businessman wanted to cultivate.

In all his years, Warren had never really known his father to be much of a babbler. It was a little disarming. Enough, in fact, that he reached to accept the hand offered to him before really thinking about why he usually wouldn't.

And by the time he realized as much, he was already halfway to his feet. Which meant there was little to do but just finish standing, and then shrug his shoulders casually, like he'd totally meant to do that.

"I know what you meant, Dad. And I'm fine. My dignity could use a band-aid, but I'll get over it."

The Coronation glacial_queen November 19 2013, 01:11:14 UTC

As much as Mallory would have liked it, they weren't able to hold the coronation within ten minutes of Karla returning to her proper age. If nothing else, she was far too sticky to be sworn in as anything.

A much-needed bath, a meal that involved vegetables, and a headache brew later (how could any small human ingest that much sugar?!?), Karla was officially crowned. Unlike the giant spectacle that had been planned, it was a very short and simple ceremony. The thirteen Province Queens were there, but rather than the ranking Priestess in Sidra (who was busy presiding over an aristo wedding ceremony), the formal swearing was done by the young White-Jeweled Priestess who cared for the altar attached to the estate. And instead of the cream of Glacian society, the only people to bear witness to the event were Karla's Court and her friends, along with several of the upper servants.

The entire ceremony took fifteen minutes. In short, it was pretty much the kind of coronation Karla would have asked for if she could.

"So, five years this time." Jono was still looking a little like he'd been run over by a herd of wild horses by the time he stepped up to sign his contract. "I won't be writing my name down in wax crayon, will I?"

If he couldn't tease Karla after a weekend spent washing honey off of her and trying to get her to eat her vegetables, he never could.

Re: The Coronation glacial_queen November 19 2013, 04:34:01 UTC

Right. Because he waited for special occasions to tease.

"Of course not," Karla sniffed. "We still have some of the finger paints Emma found the other day. We're using those."

Re: The Coronation apocalipped November 19 2013, 04:45:52 UTC

"Oh, fantastic. I'll use blue, then," Jono decided, chuckling. "It'll be a bit difficult to make out my name considering the size of my fingers compared to the amount of room I get to sign on, but I'll definitely give it my best attempt."

For you, Karla. He would do this for you.
