[ some minor (personal) things aside, Halloween had been a pretty good day. (it hadn't started out that way, of course, but once one realizes they're only a couple feet high and combine it with the love of being held in arms, one quickly decides to take advantage of it) trick-or-treating was a blast! even if poor, miss usually pink-haired miwako couldn't remember him and miss nill. that had been a bit of a bummer, too. he's memorable. he makes impressions, good or bad, he'll make certain to honey-stick himself all over the inside of someone's skull.
at some point in the evening, he'd convinced nill to stay the night. she isn't nearly as troublesome as most girls and she likes fairies and she is a princess now, after all. she seemed like a spectacular candidate. not to mention, he really hates living alone and having to sleep alone. on top of it, he may (is, rather) afraid of a ghost or witch coming to snatch him up in the middle of All Hallow's Eve. this way, they can protect each other.
for the moment, alois trancy—magically molded into a five-year-old girl—has excused her self to some privacy to dress into a sleeping gown. ('I've learned to dress myself and everything!' she had announced moments ago, with such convincing exuberance, as if she really had.) her pillow-sack of candy was unceremoniously discarded in the middle of the floor. in fact, the whole place is a mess. there's stockings, thigh-high socks, coats, and sweaters, and tiny shorts, trousers, corsets, lacey things, petticoats, hoop skirts, ribbons, and dresses, and perfume bottles and books littered everywhere. not a single place is neat!
she's also helped herself to quite a lot of pillows and there's a nest of them and blankets on her bed.
barefooted, with cotton long-sleeved gown dragging on this new shape, alois shuffles out of the bathroom and tries not to snag her toes on the skirt of her sleep wear. she seeks nill out, before plunking on the floor (not unlike a normal toddler) by her stash of candy. ]
If you need something comfortable to sleep in, you can borrow anything of mine you like. [ she flits a hand about carelessly. ] Though, you'll have to find something on your own.
