If I had known pennies would be so popular with small children/new adults . . .
Well, I might've tried them on Gorlim earlier. ¬.¬
Noro-mun: ohhhhh well. ::plunks two pennies on Ully's head and runs::
Ully: *stares* SHINIES
Norolinde: One's kinda grimy. That one's from Daddy.
Ully: *stares at them* What are they for
Norolinde: Well, they're . . . money. So you can buy things or save them up for later. Or just . . . look at them.
Ully: Oh. What would we buy?
Norolinde: Um . . . whatever you could for two pennies.
Ully: Oh.
Ully: *turns them over*
Norolinde: ::grimaces:: I'm sorry, it's not a very good gift.
Ully: I like it.... It's something I can use
Norolinde: Oh. ::blinks:: Do you want anything for Erumas?
Ully: I dunno.... I don' really want anything
Norolinde: Oh. Can I get you something anyways?
Ully: Yeah, if you wanted. I dunno what---- a drawing book
Ully: Can I have a drawing book?
Norolinde: With blank pages?
Ully: Yeah... So I can keep my stuff
Norolinde: Sure. o.o Anything else?
Ully: Nah. That's it
Norolinde: Okay. ::goes quiet::
Ully: *twiddles thumbs*
Ully: What do you want?
Norolinde: What? o.o Did I do something wrong?
Ully: No, what do you want for Erumas?
Ully: I have two cents
Norolinde: ::blinks:: That's for you. To keep.
The boy-children actually appear to like me.
Noro-mun: and two pennies for you too. :-D i will need to be reminded of that
Perrin-mun: I'm rich!!!
Noro-mun: well . . . sort of for you. :-)

Noro-mun: . . . note to Noro: buy Perrin sparklies for Erumas.
Norolinde: o.o Can't I buy him books?
Noro-mun: watch me talk to myself! :-D
Perrin: Only if they aren't about dogs running.
Norolinde: Are you tired of Spot? ::frowns::
Perrin: He doesn't do much
Norolinde: Oh. Wow. o.o You're getting so smart so fast.
Perrin: *plays with spoons* yee!
Norolinde: . . . in some ways, yes. Can I play too?
Perrin: *hands her a spoon* This is Spoon One.
Perrin: *holds up his* And this is Spoon FOur
Norolinde: Ah. ::accepts:: Hello, Spoons One and Four.
Perrin: You can make them dance. *does so*
Perrin: But this is Knife Three. He hates SPoon One and wants to kill him. Grrr.
Norolinde: o.o Be really careful with Knife Three, kay?
Perrin: *tosses up and catches*
Norolinde: >.< ::tackles him to the ground::
Perrin: *goes fetal* GET OFF ME
Norolinde: o.o ::gets off and hugs the wall::
Perrin: *pantpantpant* *hugs his knees* I...I'm sorry. You scared me.
Norolinde: >.<
Perrin: Mom? Mom, I'm sorry.
Norolinde: Mmm. ::buries her face in her arms::
Perrin: *puts his head down on his arms*
Norolinde: ::takes a shaky breath:: I'm sorry, I got scared . . .
Perrin: *nods wordlessly* I thought...um/
Norolinde: I just wanted to protect you. ;_; I'm really sorry.
Perrin: I know, mom. My brain knows you aren't crazy
anymore....it's just, it hasn't told the rest of me. So. Um. I'm sorry
Norolinde: o.o ::squeaks and curls up, crying::
Perrin: *bewildered* Nonono...Mom....*scuttles over and puts his arms around her* Did I say something bad?
Norolinde: ::shakes:: Perrin . . . you should sleep now, honey . . .
Perrin: *kisses her cheek* Ok. If you want me to.
Norolinde: ::blinks:: I'm in your room, aren't I.
Perrin: *nods* Just a little bit. COuld you tuck me in?
Norolinde: Sure . . . ::pushes herself up, shivering and looks for his bed:: . . . which one?
Perrin: *walks the one pushed up next to the window, and sits on it* *furtively takes a stuffed rabbit from under his pillow* This is Mr. Ear. You can't tell anyone about him, ok? It's not Manly.
Norolinde: . . . if it helps, Quorin had an evil stuffed bunny. Sure.
Norolinde: ::pulls down his blankets:: Hop in.
Perrin: My kinda-brother...? Whoa. O.O
Perrin: *snuggles*
Norolinde: ::tucks him in and hovers back:: Can I do anything else . . . ?
Perrin: Um...*eyedart* Could I have a good-night kiss?
Norolinde: Of course. ::melts, but doesn't let him see that:: ::kisses his cheek softly::
Perrin: Thanks, Mom.
Norolinde: Anytime, Perrin. I'm . . . um . . . really close. In case you need me during the night?
Perin: *nods* Sometimes I have bad dreams
Norolinde: Um . . . ::wavers:: Okay, I sleep out in the hall. Right by your door. Okay?
Perrin: O.O In the hall? Isn't it cold?
Norolinde: Not . . . that much. ::frowns:: I'm fine.
Perrin: Can't you sleep...in here? *haltingly* I mean, if you don't want to....
Norolinde: ::blinks:: Where? Well, on the floor, but then you might trip over me.
Perrin: *giggle* We can get another mattress, Mom.
Norolinde: But . . . what about Ully?
Perrin: *blink* What about her?
Norolinde: She . . . I think she might not want me to sleep in here with you.
Perrin: *CONFUSED* But...why?!
Norolinde: She's . . . not so happy to have me back?
Perrin: She's a dummy.
Norolinde: >.< Don't say that. It's her right to think it.
Perrin: She's STILL a dummy. I hate her.
Norolinde: >____< I'll sleep outside.
Perrin: >_<
Norolinde: What? o.o
Perrin: I. Hate. This.
Perrin: Why can't you just be my Mom? Why can't everyone just leave you alone?
Norolinde: ::blinks:: Honey . . . oh, honey . . . ::kneels by his bed and strokes his hair:: It's okay, I deserve it.
Perrin: *wipes furiously at eyes* I hate them all. I just want things to be the way they were
Norolinde: I know, I want that too, but it can't happen, baby . . .
Perrin: WHY CAN'T IT? Why can't you make it happen? How come?
Norolinde: Daddy doesn't love me anymore, Perrin.
Perrin: Can't you...make him love you? Please?
Norolinde: Your dad . . . deserves someone better, honey. Not me.
Perrin: But you're...you're...*flops* I think you're great.
Norolinde: That's you, sweetie. And I love you so much for that. But Daddy is . . . Daddy's different.
Perrin: Daddy's a butt,
Norolinde: >.< Perrin!
Norolinde: Show him respect. He's your father.
Perrin: Fine. He's a big butt.
Norolinde: >__< If you're going to act like that . . . Perrin, I can't stay if you won't listen to me.
Perrin: O.O *clams*
Norolinde: . . . honey, here, shut your eyes. Go to bed. I'll be in the hall.
Perrin: *nods dumbly, and shuts his eyes* Night, mom.
Norolinde: ::bites her lip and touches his hand::
Perrin: *peeks*
Norolinde: Hi. o.o Can I stay?
Perrin: *nodnodnodnod*
Norolinde: Can I hold your hand?
Perrin: *littlesmile* *nodnodnod*
Norolinde: ::curls her fingers around his:: ::lowers herself carefully so she's on the floor but still holding his hand::
Perrin: *peeks and tries not look like he's peeking* *squeezes her hand*
Norolinde: ::squeezes back:: Night, Perrin. Love you.
Perrin: *nods happily* *snores*
Norolinde: ::smiles and falls asleep still curled on the floor::
