likha scratches their cheek.

⋆ i guess...
⋆ what else are you thinking of?

they’re swayed a bit too easily.

“ ...? ”

likha merely shrugs, sticking their pen in the ground and leaning against it.

⋆ well, i could...
⋆ but i don’t think i should let a bunch of stuffed animals run around rampant.

the dragon and unicorn are still at each other even when picked up. at least likha had quietly thought of making them childproof before anything else.

⋆ all yours, kid.
⋆ they’re probably like moving dolls at best, though.

likha thinks for a second and shrugs, starting to draw in the air.

at first, it looks like a silly doodle, but it slowly starts materializing. not quite made of ink anymore.

they’re tiny enough to not be an actual nuisance. they look like pets, if anything. and as requested, they don’t get along.

⋆ well, you gotta give me something to work with.

they take their pen in hand.

⋆ for all i know i could be making unicorns and you’ll just yawn.

⋆ so you’re gonna shoo me away?

raising an eyebrow.

⋆ i can be entertaining.
⋆ i think.

???

⋆ i’m minding my own business, what’s your deal?

not moving from their spot.

⋆ . . .

they’re lounging around, they suppose.
they’re in no rush to do anything.

⋆ did something happen?

likha stares at him whilst upsidedown. they slide off, grab their pen, and doodle what looks like a bed in the air.

... it lands right on top of them with a thud.
they grunt, crawl out from underneath.

⋆ hop on, looks like you need the rest.
