044: Memories [Accidental Video Post]

[livingmyths]

"Come on, my beautiful Isabel! Mommy's got a surprise for you!" A woman with long black hair scooped up a tiny girl and swung her around till she was giggling helplessly.

"More, Momma, more!" Isabel shouted happily.

"Don't you want your surprise?"

Isabel put a finger up to her lips thoughtfully. "First, one more swinging, Momma!"

Her mother laughed and swung her around again, then cuddled her close. "Look at this," she said, pulling out a stuffed bunny covered in real rabbit fur and hopping him over to the little girl. "Rabbit hops in to take away all your fears. No more having to be scared at night, wichiycala**!"



Isabel's eyes went wide. "For me, Momma?"

"All for you, wichiycala, just for you. You remember the story?"

Isabel nodded solemnly, holding the bunny close and petting him as gently as if he were a real rabbit. "I 'members, Momma." She leaned in and kissed her mother. "Thank you. I love you."

"Oh, little one, I know. And I love you all the way to the moon and back and all around the stars."



"Moon and Back, Momma," Rain whispered, smiling with her eyes still closed, enjoying the latest of the memories that had been visiting her all day.

"Oh Deities, if any of you are listening and please be listening, thank you so much for this! I'll never forget it."

I'd look silly, Tony. Everyone would laugh at me.

He's a good friend.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

I think you'd look beautiful.

He seems like it.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I don't know, Tony. I'd like to help you, but...

I wish you liked him too.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Will you at least try it on and see what Mat says?

I'm sure I'll come to like him.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

... Okay. I'll see if he minds doing that.

I hope so. I would like it if two of my very favorite people ever liked each other.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

If he keeps treating you like he does I'm sure I will.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I'll see if I can find him and then I'll let you know.

Good. That would make me very happy.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Thanks, that's all I ask.

Well, then how can I not try hard to like him?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You're very good to me, Tony.

Thank you.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

I'll tell you a secret. I'm good to all the pretty, nice girls. But I'm very good to pretty, nice, and special girls.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Then why are you good...? - Tony...

Thank you.

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

You're most welcome.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

So if Mat will come look at the dress... When could we do that?

[morethanasuit.livejournal.com]

Whenever the both of you have time, I'll make sure to make time for you.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll ask him and if he doesn't mind I'll let you know.
