[Oh yes, a potion of youth.

Of course the king who owns everything has this in his treasury. But while he's out, he decides to take a detour for ice cream. And other sweets.

But that detour has other detours. The boy king stops at every house along the way, knocking at the door. This is doubly sure if he knows who's there.]

Hello? Hello? Is there anyone home today? I want to talk.

[Of course, you can catch him at home too.

But fair warning. This post may contain hugs. Just saying.]

[She answers the door and looks down curiously.]

You are much smaller today.

I am! Want to go get some ice cream?

[yamaxanadu]

I don't mind if you're inviting me.

[As if there is nothing strange about this.]

How did you become a child?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh. Isn't it natural for the person who owns everything in the world to possess certain items of legend?

[yamaxanadu]

Items of legend?

[She pauses a moment to think about it.]

Oh yes, there was something like that wasn't there? I assume this is temporary.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It lasts as long as I like.

[yamaxanadu]

How useful! It must be fun to have such a thing around.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It is! A lot of things can be done like this.

[yamaxanadu]

What sorts of things did you have in mind specifically?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Eating ice cream and cake.

[yamaxanadu]

You have to be a child to do that?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It's more fun like this.

[yamaxanadu]

I wouldn't know, but I'll take your word on it.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

You should! I'm an expert.

[yamaxanadu]

Oh? Do you do this a lot?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Not really. Every once in a while is enough.

[yamaxanadu]

So occasionally. Is it just to eat sweets, or are there other reasons?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Maybe I just want to. That's a pretty good reason.
