Jason: Ahh...it's so nice out today, and the cat is off basking somewhere else. It's a good day to run the tree as an obstacle course. [A tiny, mysterious stranger approaches...] ???: Hup! [heavy breathing] That ain't but a far jump! Jason: Whoa! Who are you? ???: Lemme...lemme catch my breath, first. Whoo! Fiach: Jason, cobber, don't be daft, it's your old pal Fiach! I just saw you last week! Jason: Um, I've been here for seventeen years, and I don't remember anything before I ended up here. Fiach: ...mm, yeah, that'd do it, wouldn't it, time passin' differently in the Fae and all. Fiach: Anyway, Jase, you gotta help me! I'm in big, big trouble. Jason: What do you mean? Fiach: There's a bigjob after me! She's going to kidnap me and use me for experiments and probably eat me! You gotta hide me, please! ???: There you are, you little troublemaker! Fiach: [squeak!] Jason: Hold on! I don't know who you are, and I don't remember him, but you're not taking him without a fight! ???: [sigh] Okay, what lies has he told you. Fiach: I've been as honest as a newborn lamb with butter that wouldn't melt in its mouth! ???: That's not a thing. Jason: He said you're going to do experiments on him and eat him! ???: What? [groans] Kid, I'm his case worker. From the Triskele. I'm trying to help him adjust to the doll world and he took off like a shot the minute I turned my back! Fiach: A likely bloody story! You're going to eat me with ketchup and a side of fries! Jason: ...are you sure we're friends? =_= Fiach: Yes!
Kami: What on Earth is going on up here-- Kami: Well! Alma Ji-yeong Park, as I live and breathe! Alma: Oh, hey, Kami, didn't expect to see you here. How's the fibro? Kami: We have good days and bad days. Today's a good day. Wrangling a newbie? Alma: [sigh] You know it. They get feistier every day. Jason: Yeah, I'm not sure what's happening, but if you know her, I'm pretty sure she's not going to eat him. Fiach: Noooo! Alma: Gotcha! Fiach: Nooooo! She's gonna eat me, Jase! Kami: She is not going to eat you. Alma: If you're going to hide among the humans, you need to dress like them and not like the feral little faerie you are! Fiach: No! Alma: Put on the pants! Fiach: Nnnnno! Alec: Oh, hey, Alma! Good to see you! ...So. New meat, huh. Kami: How did you ever guess. Jason: [sigh] Why do I have the feeling my life just got a lot more complicated?
Omake: Fiach in the most "No! I must dance!" pose I have ever seen a doll in. Fiach in the hated human clothes. Alma: Oh, hey, cousin Bobby!
She's gonna have her hands full with that one! Maybe they can make an agreement about clothes so that he can still be his feral little self and isn't wearing a faux fur scrap from my craft bin...
