12 - [Action]

[It's one of those days when Eley feels like heading into the village and perusing the shops to see if he can find anything interesting. Today, he's lucky! Or so he feels anyway, for sitting on a shelf in a brightly coloured orange bottle is some substance labelled only as 'Magic Bubbles'.

Eley had become rather interested in the concept of magic from other worlds since his stay in Luceti, so naturally he found himself wondering what kind of magic could be contained in this bottle. Obviously something to do with bubbles... was it water based then? How did it work? What exactly did it do? The Spirit had to find out for himself, so he wasted no time in taking a bottle and heading outside with it.

He'll be spending the rest of the day doing the following:

First he'll end up sitting by the fountain in the plaza and unscrewing the cap to the bottle to find a strange wand attached to it... It'll take him a while to figure out exactly what the point of it is and you'll likely find him trying to look through the hole at the end or holding it up to the light to inspect the rainbow sheen of the soapy film across the gap.

Eventually he'll try waving the wand (perhaps it's like a tiny scepter?) and thus produce a stream of small bubbles. Ah, so this wand creates bubbles? Interesting! He'll try waving it some more in long sweeping motions... until it runs out.

Not realising the stuff in the bottle is what's responsible for creating the bubbles in the first place, you might find him wandering around the village shaking the wand with varying degrees of ferocity out of frustration that his new toy isn't working anymore.

Later on, he'll have finally figured it out, so you'll likely see some stray bubbles floating around and perhaps a rather easily amused Spirit trying to make new amusing shapes out of the bubbles, or trying to make a huge one... or maybe just trying to make as many as he can by trying to master how to use the wind against the wand in the most effective way possible.

Feel free to play with him! or help him out!]

Y-Yes, I do... [Honestly she would love to, but that mentality that she has to keep up the stern and cold soldier front all the time is getting in the way.

... But is it really necessary right now? Eley is a good friend.]
All right, I'll try it.

[Work with her, bubbles!]
seleniahymn: (My memory begins to doubt itself.)

[It takes a few more moments, since for whatever reason she feels she has to steel herself before actually giving it a go. Though she may be feeling silly she decides to blow through the wand, and sure enough a steady trail of bubbles follows.

Now it's her turn to watch them float I the air, the echoes of giddiness creeping in as she watches on.]
seleniahymn: (Il cielo stellato.)

[Tear watches on eagerly once he starts, smiling herself as the last one comes down to hover near them. Her expression turns thoughtful as he speaks, though the smile doesn't go away. It's only wistful.]

Isn't that all the more reason to appreciate and value them while we can see them?
seleniahymn: (I don't think that's it.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-26 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't be sad, Eley! Though honestly Tear has never been very sure of how to cheer someone up, so she's fumbling around for ideas right now that she's noticed.]

M-maybe if you tried to show others your appreciation for those things? [The hand carrying the wand is waving around just a bit frantically meanwhile, unknowingly sending a stream of bubbles right into her unsuspecting face.

... She tried.]
seleniahymn: (Still a timid girl.)

[She'll be a bit occupied with wiping any soapy residue from her face, at least not too much of it got in her eyes yet or he might really be amused. Still, she's rubbing at her eyes a little because it stung.]

I'm sorry, I'm not very used to reassuring people in a manner they appreciate. [Too harsh sometimes, she's been told.]
seleniahymn: (Whatever you say.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-26 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine, I just need to wait a few minutes. [While Tear is glad that he stopped her from continuing to rub it, but now she's blushing a little as she realizes how close they are.]

I should have been more careful, honestly.
seleniahymn: (Just doing what I can.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-26 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It was just an accident, let's put it behind us. [They didn't need to spend time apologizing back and forth, even if that was starting to be amusing in and of itself.]

Injuring myself isn't how I usually try to reassure others.
seleniahymn: (It's not so bad.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-26 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, now you know to not let it in your eyes next time you play with them. [She wasn't going to rub that in his face, but it was a little funny to hear.]

I don't think they would be too hard to make, actually.
seleniahymn: (Helpful hand.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-27 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you seen dish soap before? [Come to think of it, where exactly did Eley live?] If we just mix water with it, we should have more bubbles.

It might take a few tries, I hope you don't mind.
seleniahymn: (Whatever you say.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-28 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll have to introduce you to it, then. Luckily it's easier to find that in the shops than the bubbles probably were. [But now she has the mental image of a piling stack of dirty dishes. It makes her shiver a little thinking about it...]

Would you want to try that out today?
seleniahymn: (Willing to explain.)

[personal profile] seleniahymn 2013-06-28 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[She may bring it up with him later. For now, it's all about the bubbles!]

I'll be attending the summer solstice celebration being held by Saori and Helios later, but there should be enough time for this. We can go to my house for some of the materials.
