[Oh hey it's that little kid again!

...her forehead, anyway. And her somewhat creepy red eyes, poking up out of the bottom of the screen because she's slouching over on her computer desk. SOMEONE IS DISPLEASED and sulking.]

There's a party, isn't there?

Why can't I go?

[Hey look, guess who is also barred from going for the same reasons! Except she's violently aware of how bad her problems are and why they're there, and while she doesn't like it, the very thought of going into that ball room with that many people is enough to make her stomach knot]

I'm not sure, why can't you go?

[jolie_aile]

The doctor says I'm not supposed to.

...but I'm better now, really!

[No not really.]

[shi_no_tsubasa]

Did the doctor say that to you as well?

[Suspishus]

[jolie_aile]

No, but I feel that way!

[In some ways she is still five years old.

...actually make that a lot of ways.]

[a_hired_pistol]

[Oh wow. So cute. Why can't this adorable little kid party? Shin disapproves of their refusal.] I dunno if it's gonna be a party the way most people think of it, but if you wanna go, they oughta let you.

[jolie_aile]

Oh, oh, can I go with you, then? I bet the doctor would say it was okay, if there was someone there!

[She has NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE, STRANGER. Well, maybe a little, but not very much in any case. Certainly not enough to know if this is a qualified medical assistant or someone who can deal with panicky children.]

[a_hired_pistol]

[That's a great idea. Send the sheltered little girl out with the punk rock jigollo.] I kinda promised i'd take someone else. But maybe you have a big brother or sister who can take you?

[jolie_aile]

[Aaaand right back to the beginning.]

Sister doesn't want me to go either.

[redsynonymhere]

Sister...

[jolie_aile]

[Flandre whiiiiiines.]

I want to go, Remi.

[redsynonymhere]

You can't just be cured that quickly, Flandre. I don't want to see you like....that.

[jolie_aile]

[That reminder makes her pause for a very, very long moment. Her voice is much quieter when she speaks again.]

I won't be like that, Remi.

[Though now she's suddenly not quite so sure.]

[investigatingly]

Says who?

[jolie_aile]

The doctor does.

[investigatingly]

If it's something you really want to do, then you should go ahead and do it!

[GREAT LIFE LESSONS.]

[floweringknight]

Milady...

[He's a little sad to hear that was the verdict for her this time around. Still, he's not surprised...]

[jolie_aile]

Sakuyaaaaa.

[THE WHINY VOICE. ALL OF IT.]

[floweringknight]

It won't work. If that's what the doctor's said, you'll have to abide by it, milady.
