::blinks a little hazily:: I did a lot of talking.
First, to a little!Gorlim. He's so cute it's unfair.
Gorlim: *crawls on top of Noro and sits there* *whispers* Niiiindie?
Norolinde: ::blinks sleepily:: Yes?
Gorlim: I have a very impo'tant question to ask you!
Norolinde: ::frowns and snuggles deeper into the covers:: Go ahead.
Gorlim: When I get big, will you marry me?
Norolinde: . . . now, why do you say that, silly boy? ::baps his nose lightly::
Gorlim: b'cause, Nindie! You' my favouritest, prettiest girl friend!
Norolinde: ::smiles softly:: Okay, sure.
Gorlim: Promise???
Norolinde: Sure! Will you remember?
Gorlim: Of course! I'm gonna live with you, aren't I? I dunno when I'm going home. I still can't find mama.
Norolinde: Oh . . . did you want to stay with me?
Gorlim: Well... Dred said I could stay with him....
Norolinde: Would you like to stay with Dred? He's a nice man.
Gorlim: Can you stay with Dred and I stay with you?
Norolinde: Um . . . I'd . . . have to talk to him . . .
Gorlim: Okay!
Norolinde: ::a little taken aback:: Did you eat more of your food?
Gorlim: *nods*
Norolinde: Good boy.
Gorlim: A nice man with a long name gave me appoos.
Norolinde: . . . what's an appoo? Oh! Apples?
Gorlim: Yeah! Appoos!
Norolinde: ::giggles:: Let's see your teeth. Do you have some missing?
Gorlim: Not yet. I'm too little. *shows* See?
Norolinde: True. ::ruffles his hair:: What do you want to do?
Gorlim: *shrugs* Be with you.
Norolinde: Yeah, but . . . I'm boring. Don't you want to play?
Gorlim: I guess we have to do chores, first, huh?
Norolinde: Um . . . not really . . . is everything pretty clean?
Gorlim: O.O Who milks the cows, then?
Norolinde: There are . . . lots of people here who like to do it for us.
Gorlim: Oooooh. Okay! I don't hafta do chores, then??
Norolinde: Unless you want to.
Gorlim: No I DON'T!
Norolinde: ::grins widely:: No, I suppose you wouldn't. So! Let's . . . go explore?
Gorlim: Okay!
And . . . so then . . . I had to talk to Dred. The New Boyfriend. Not that I was ever a boyfriend. Oh . . . shush.
Norolinde: ::knocks timidly on a door she hopes to find Dred behind::
Dred: *opens the door and blinks* Norolinde? *surprised* Is something wrong?
Norolinde: Oh! ::slightly surprised at his quick response:: Hi . . . sir . . . um . . . well, you know Gorlim's small, right?
Dred: *nods* I know. Found out last night. I take it that sort of thing happens around here?
Norolinde: Sometimes. It's just . . . usually, it hits more than one person. Like a virus. The fact that it's just Gorlim is . . . worrisome.
Dred: *frowns* I don't suppose there's anyone who would know what was going on? That IS worrisome then.
Norolinde: Um . . . probably not. I think the best we can hope to do is ride it out. See if it goes away. Um. ::fidgets:: I did . . . have another reason for coming . . .
Dred: *nods, feeling a bit awkward* Yes? *pauses realizing they're in a doorway* Oh sorry. You probably want to come in and sit down.
Norolinde: Um . . . oh, right. ::blushing, she steps in:: Thank you. Um . . . okay, here's the deal. Gorlim . . . I talked to him a little, and he misses his mom. I know he feels comfortable around you, and for some reason he feels comfortable around me . . . and . . . well . . . he can't pick which one of us to stay with until he gets better. ::trails off::
Dred: *nods* Then he should stay with both of us...um... I can do that sure.
Norolinde: Yeah . . . um . . . I'm . . . so very sorry to be putting you in this position. ::bites her lip and finds the floor very interesting::
Dred: Oh um no it's fine. I mean... better that we're both around for him right? *never realized he liked his boots so much*
Norolinde: I guess. ::frowns:: I . . . I can stay in a corner somewhere.
Dred: No um...I can have a couch moved in here and take that for a while...
Norolinde: Oh! Oh, no, that's not fair to you at all. Not at all. I really don't mind. I've slept on floors plenty of times.
Dred: No its fine. I insist. *smiles*
Norolinde: ::smiles back at him meekly:: 'kay. ::offers a hand::
Dred: *takes her hand and shakes it* So um...yeah
Norolinde: Right. ::brushes her hair back from her face:: So sorry for bothering you . . . I'll just . . . be going . . .
Dred: No um..you weren't. You don't need to go...
Norolinde: ::blinks:: ::finds an apple she grabbed for Gorlim and eyes it:: . . . apple?
Dred: Hmm? *blink*
Norolinde: . . . apple. ::sighs and tosses it into the air::
Norolinde: ::bites her lip again:: Yeah, I'll go.
