Wilderness 3} Pequie and Kionni
Pequie gathered up the prettiest flowers she could find as she scrambled through the forest, often falling as she went. Her logic was, if she was fast enough, Kionni wouldn't be able to tell which flowers she had picked. Although she was very sprightly for such a young child, she was far from anything resembling light speed. She raced back to where Kionni was standing, bunch of flowers in hand. "SUPRIZE!" she exclaimed, her slightly spacey smile beaming with delight and generosity.
Kionni smiled softly, taking the flowers into his hands "≈why thank you, pecky≈" He took one of the flowers, a yellow one, and put it in her hair. "≈where'd ya get these from≈ ≈were you picking flowers again≈"[/container]
The toddler squealed, thrilled that his plan worked. "Uh huh! Ise really great full that you've been helping me learn to count to twenny and do brayds!" He fidgeted in his spot, looking in Kionni's eyes for his reaction to getting the flowers.
Kionni pat the child™️ on the head. "≈thank you for the flowers≈ ≈it's fun helping you with your braids≈" Kionni smiled more, gently putting some of the flowers into his hair.[/container]
Pequie hugged Kionni's legs and lower midsection. "You're welc'm, big brover." She noticed something odd, and pointed to some scratches Kionni had on his knees, no doubt from adventuring. "Kee has an ouchie..." She murmured, a sympathetic look on her face.
"≈im fine pecky≈ ≈just a little scratch is all≈ ≈i'll be fine≈" Kionni kneeled down to be kinda at eye level with Pequie. "≈i promise≈"[/container]
He looked at Kionni skeptically, then crouched down even further to kiss some of the higher up scratches. "All better now? Kee can play now?" He gave Kionni a big hug, his tutu shifting as he did.
"≈kee's all better now≈ ≈we can play≈" Kionni hugged back, giving Pequie a lil kiss on the forehead. "≈what do you wanna play≈ ≈doctor i assume≈"[/container]
Pequie shook her head. Suddenly, it was like a light came on in her brain. She jumped in the air for emphasis. "Hideanseek!" She exclaimed, still grinning.
Kionni giggled at her enthusiasm. "≈okay≈ ≈do you wanna hide first or seek first≈ ≈just remeber if you wanna hide not to go too far≈"[/container]
"i wanna hide!" He grabbed Kionni's hands and moved them so they were covering his eyes, then scooted off in a random direction and hid behind a huge fallen tree. Pequie called out, "Start counting!!!!"
Kionni smiled. "≈okay≈ ≈one, two, three≈" Kionni started, but after he decided to count in his head. "≈and don't worry, i'm counting in my head≈"[/container]
Pequie, getting slightly bored (and muddy), shouted to Kionni. "Is it ten sec'nds lader yet?" She was starting to get fidgety, plus there was a frog who decided to sit on her face.
Kionni opened his eyes "≈it is≈ ≈hmmm i wonder where she could be≈" Kionni walked over to the tree, seeing his sibling's clothes a bit. instead of looking down to find Pequie, Kionni looked just over it. "≈hmmmm≈"[/container]
Giggling a little, Pequie struggled to stay quiet. This was working flawlessly. He was always the BEST at hiding. Brown clothes blended in with the dirt so well. He was the hide and seek king, no doubt.
Kionni looked down to see Pequie. "≈i found you≈" he smiled, holding out a hand to help Pequie up.[/container]
Pequie sat up, making the frog jump off, and crossed her arms grumpily. "Hmph." She sat there for a moment, then smiled again. "Your turn Kee! Better start hiding!" With no warning, she covered her eyes and started counting really fast.
Kionni ran to hide behind a pretty large rock. These two are great at hiding. By the time he got to the rock he was out of breath. He covered his mouth, as if that would help.[/container]
Pequie smiled and ran over to the rock, tackling Kionni in a huge hug. "Found you already! You're no match for Pecky The Great!!!!"
He laughed, hugging Pequie back. "≈good job, pecky≈ ≈you always find me easily≈" he sat up, beinf sure that Pequie didn't fall while he did so.[/container]
"Well tha's a'cuz you always hide behind the bug hunting rock first, silly!" The small troll booped Kionni, snuggling into him.
Kionni giggled at the boop, paping Pequie. "≈heheh yeah≈ ≈i really need to find somewhere else to hide≈" he thought for a minute, looking at the rock. "≈wanna go bug hunting≈" he asked, looking at Pequie.[/container]
They gasped excitedly. "Yes!" Immediately squirming out of Kionni's grasp, Pequie turned over the rock to reveal a nest of small, exotically colored beetles.
Kionni smiled, walking (then kneeling) next to her. "≈ooh.. they're all so pretty≈ ≈hmm..≈" Kionni picked up a beetle, staring at it. He giggled when it moved around, tickling his hand.[/container]
They stared at the small bug on Kionni in amazement. "What should we name him, Kee?" They had seen all kinds of bugs, but this one was new. It was shimmery and shiny, and emerald green with a red stripe.
"≈hmm, i'm not sure≈ ≈he's really pretty≈" Kionni thought for a moment, staring at the beetle. "≈maybe shimmer≈ ≈what do you think≈"[/container]
"Shimmer! Yes! I love it! Hi Shimmer!" They waved at the tiny bug, absolutely beaming. "Shimmer Shimmer Shimmer!" They wiggled around, testing out the name of the small beetle in their mouth, finding it fun to say.
"≈im glad you like the name≈ ≈it suits him≈" he watched as the bug slightly did just that, shimmered, in the dull sunlight. he was glad Pequie was having so much fun with the beetle.[/container]
