*Malefica smiled and cuddled her daughter.*
"You are adorable, and don't let anyone tell you anything else. I love you, Eden. And normal people are boring, haven't you seen that?"

*Eden shrugged her tiny shoulders.*
"I guess so."
*Her lips pursed a moment.*
"But that elf fellow. He's not all bad."

*Malefica laughed and looked lovingly at her daughter.*
"Elf fellow? Oh, you mean Figwit? I was there the night he was born, carrying him into safety from Lorien. I have always protected him. I guess I'm a kind of godmother for him. Or a protector. He has certainly grown to a handsome young man. It was nice to see him again."

I wouldn't mind seeing more of him, if you know what I mean...
*Eden's eyes dropped for a moment.*
"Yeah. I guess he's alright. Bit stoic."
It's kinda neat.

*Malefica smiled and looked at her daughter.*
"Do you want me to invite Leetah and Figwit here again, so you can get to know him better? I miss Leetah already. We are playing tennis together."

Yes.
*Eden bit her tongue and forced herself to shrug.*
"Well, if you miss them too, I guess that would be all right..."

*Malefica smiled and caressed her daughter gently.*
"Well, I miss them a lot, so I promise to talk to Leetah about it. And I'll ask her to bring Figwit with her when she arrives."
*Suddenly she came to think about something.*
"Eden, now that we have done so well in your first lesson as a witch, do you want any redecoration of your room, or maybe a new wardrobe? You're a schoolgirl now, you know."

Schoolgirl, eh?
*Eden's thoughts immediately shifted to plaid skirts and knee socks. What would Pops think of that? She forced the thought away and shook her head.*
"No thank you. But maybe a nap. I'm a bit worn out."

*Malefica looked at her with a glimpse of humor in her eyes. She had been called a schoolgirl once... by Merlin. And hated it.*
"I realise how that must have sounded. I don't mean these cute little schoolgirl uniforms. I mean Witch school uniforms. In black. Like Hogwarth style?"
*She patted Eden's head.*
"You have done well today, Eden. I will tell your father how talented you are. I am very proud of you. And I have a feeling that he will be just as proud as I am. Take the rest of the day off, and we'll continue tomorrow."

What's Hogwarth?
*Her nose crinkled in confusion, but she nodded and scampered towards the door. At least the black part sounded ok.*

*Malefica smiled and snapped her fingers. The minion was resurrected, and Malefica smiled and talked to him.*
"Thank you for allowing my daughter to practice on you. You have done well. Take the rest of the day off. I'll see you tomorrow."
*Malefica walked calmly back to the house, and the minion went to sleep in his own dimension.*

**NEW DAY**
*Hand in hand, Figwit and Eden walked into the garden. It was overly groomed for his taste, but it would do. The sun shone and the world seemed to smile upon them. It was a welcome respite to what he knew would face him in Lorien.*
"Many people do not know what use plants can be," *Figwit said.* "They recognize their aesthetic beauty--such as these roses--but forget that plants can be used for clothing, food, medicine, and a host of other things."

*Eden squeezed his hand under the guise of keeping her balance as she looked down at some of the flowers.*
"Can you teach me these things?"
*Then she remembered.*
"Please?"

*Figwit laughed.*
"If you are so interested, certainly. What would you like to know?"

Post by Eden on Apr 30, 2008 10:58:24 GMT -5
Everything about you. I mean...about plants.
*Eden shrugged her tiny shoulders.*
"What's your favorite part or botany? We could always start there."
