[She's got a Forge again, but she can't find her mother's wand. And there are bars here that she can't quite slip through, even though she's trying. By the fifth try she's frustrated. And a little stuck. And now she's dropped the little device on the other side of those bars, and hey, it's turning on

[ a mass amount of children? well, that isn't anything new. war makes orphans of children. she cares, of course - but her energy must be placed elsewhere. she must trust others to be guided by their sense of nobility. that all said: screaming children. they suck. ]

Be silent, little one.

I don't want to be silent! You can't tell me to be silent! I'm stuck! And there's a prince coming! He's going to help!

[ eye...roll... ]

Then, you can wait - quietly. Surely, he will know how to find you without your help.

[Shirley, she is now screeching at the top of her lungs because you told her to be quiet.]

You're not my mother!

[Thank the heavens, right?]

[ ksdfjs WINCING. ]

Have you no respect for silence?

[ alright, getting bossy like that at a tiny was not her best idea. but jesus, she is loud! and somehow, LOUDER STILL. ]

[Somehow, she thinks the screaming might help shrink her head or something I DON'T EVEN KNOW. But it sure feels good to yell.]

No!

[healful]

[ sighs. ]

If I find you, will you be silent?

[lestrangestone]

Well hurry up then, because they're already coming!

[Which really isn't even an answer, but, whatever.]

[healful]

You must promise to not be so loud, first.

[lestrangestone]

[GOD. WHAT.]

That's not fair.

[ shirley shrugs. ]

If you prefer being in that room longer than you must be, then...

[lestrangestone]

No! I don't! I don't want to---

---I'll be. Quiet.

video; switch to action or handwave?

[healful]

[ ha. so easy. ]

Good. Wait only a moment, little one.

a-action since really it's just a couple tags til she pops herself back in the cell ?

[lestrangestone]

[Quieter. And trying to sound a little more polite.]

I'm waiting.

[How long is a moment?!]

action!

[healful]

[ literally, a moment!! shirley appears in the girl's line of sight in a flash of gold light, and she offers her hand to bellatrix. pft, who needs to waste time with locks and bars? not shirley, apparently. ]

action!!

[lestrangestone]

[hfshkj !!! Oh. Well, it's like appaprating apparating, or maybe it is apparating, because she has no reason to believe otherwise. Reaching toward Shirley in what she just knows will be a futile effort---]

I can't---

[And she's out.]

---oh.

[Staaaare.]

You don't even have a wand!
