in the chapel [open to all]
Today, Elaine found herself desirous, for truly the first time since she had come, to make her prayers in an actual church. She misses Mass, misses the singing and even the long dull homilies that Mab often dozed through.

But the chapel will have to do. She takes out her prayer beads and prays her decade in a soft murmur as she kneels quietly at a pew.

Eventually, she is finished, and sits in quiet contemplation as she gazes up at the stained glass windows.

Harold is hiiiiding.

He, Paisley and Plaid are playing hide and go seek, and it's their turn to seek. He stumbled into the chapel and was waiting somewhat patiently for them to find him.

But then when they didn't find him quickly..well, all of this playing wears a small boy out. Which is why there might be a soft snoring sound coming from under a pew not far from Elaine.

	Elaine blinks. She looks around for the source of the snoring and soon finds Harold, fast asleep. She smiles softly, and reaches out to put her hand on his head. "Little one...you should wake now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harold jumps, thinking that his puppies have found him. When he sees Elaine he smiles and rubs his eyes sleepily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sweetheart, what are you doing here? Do you not have someone to watch for you?" Her voice is soft and very tender, he's a sweet looking child and very young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He puts a finger to his lips. "Shhhhhhhh. 'iding." His eyes widen and he curls himself up as he hears the sound of two puppy dog feet enter the chapel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh," Elaine says in a whisper. She's a very small woman, and she can duck down just a little bit. "Who is looking for you?" That sounds like more than one pair of feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Puppies have the advantage of a sense of smell, which means that soon Elaine and Harold are glomped by two very oddly colored puppies. "'OU FIND ME!" He glees and pets them both. "DOOD PUPPY!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elaine laughs and catches a puppy in her hands. "Oh, my goodness." It is a most interestingly colored dog. "So your puppies were looking for you? They are very gaily colored little creatures." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harold nodnodnods. He points to the blue fur and purple paisley spots. "Pla'd!" And to the purple and yellow plaid one, "Pais'ey!" The puppies take turns jumping up on both of them and licking their faces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elaine has not held puppies in a very long time. "They are sweet little puppies, to be sure. And what is your name, little one?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Paisley and Plaid squirm and yip and are generally happy to meet someone new and get attention. "Harold!" He says it proudly as he pets Plaid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elaine has a wiggly Paisley in her hands, and she pets him. "Harold. Where do you live, Harold? Do you have someone who takes care of you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"'manda. She nice." Plaid licks Harold's face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-07-05 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, yes. I do believe I met Amanda once." Elaine is relieved. She'd hoped very much that he was not all alone here. "How old are you, sweetheart?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"This many!" He holds up three fingers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Three whole fingers?" she says, chuckling. "You are a big boy then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harold nods emphatically. He IS! "Wanna pway wif us?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think that would be fun! But we should leave the chapel first, in case anyone else would like to pray here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. Well. He can do that. He nods and gets up, the puppies yipping and following behind excitedly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elaine laughs and follows Harold and the puppies out. God did not mind laughter in His house, but some of the proprieties should be maintained. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Once they're out he turns and looks at Elaine expectantly. Now what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lilymaid_sweet 2008-07-16 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	She gets down to Harold's height. "What do you like to play, dear?" Elaine is quite young and she can keep up with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"HI SEE! HI SEE!" He bounces and the puppies, sensing his excitement, yip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hide and seek? Why don't you tell me how to play that, then." She knows how to play...she just doesn't know how he plays it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
