22. itty bitty christmas

[orderfromchaos]

[Day one, text + voice]

9 1 1

Hello? Someone took my parents. And my house.


[Day two, spam]

[Did six-year-old Dillon find tiny old roller skates in the back of his closet? Yes he did. He is now about to crash into you, probably.]


[Day three, video]

[A tiny redhead is absolutely swimming in a vaguely blasphemous christmas sweater. He's in the chapel, and he sings Away in a Manger in a clear, lovely soprano. He bites his lip for a moment afterward.]

Are we going to have a tree? Will someone else come light candles? I'm not supposed to play with fire.


[Day three, spam]

[Find Dillon with excessive candy canes hooked into the collar of his oversized sweater, trailing tinsel, attempting to stack a chair on top of a ladder so that he can hang up mistletoe and wreaths almost as big as he is.]

day 2

[thelastbullet]

[He's been rushing through the halls as fast as possible, trying to make sure the kids are taken care of, when Dillon runs into him. He quickly grabs the kid by the shoulders to prevent a full-on collision.]

Whoa there, pal! Gotta watch where you're going!

day 2

[inateacup]

[He squirms a little.]

I was! The halls are skinny is all.

[thelastbullet]

[He doesn't let go of him quite yet, mostly so he has the chance to ascertain whether this one was doing okay.]

That means you should be more careful, not that you can just crash into grown-ups.

[inateacup]

I'm sorry.

[Slightly abashed, but also slightly suspicious look.]

Are you gonna let me go now?

[thelastbullet]

[He lets him go after giving him a firm, paternal pat on the shoulder]

Alright, hold your horses.

[inateacup]

Do you need help with anything?

[He's asking, like, just in case. There aren't supposed to be a lot of grownups in Narnia but sometimes they do. Prince Caspian had generals and stuff.]

[thelastbullet]

I need you to take good care of yourself, and come to an adult if you're gettin' in trouble.

[inateacup]

Are you a cop too? Or a faun? A space faun?

[thelastbullet]

Not really, and definitely not. [Shit, quick, what was the last occupation he had that he can tell a kid about--] Used to be a soldier. That good enough for you?
