AU: Kid Ibani Play Date

[last_kallig]

It's been a few days since the fight with the bullies and Ibani has been gleefully showing her new friend around and helping her get settled in. Despite the fact that Sabla is the only Miraluka in the Temple, nobody has been teasing Sabla. Possibly word got around about the reason Ibani was covered in bruises a few days ago.

Sabla's parents came and picked her up earlier, but right now Ibani is anxiously waiting for her dads to be finished with the classes they're teaching so they can all go and visit Sabla's house!

"He was stuck in the gutter outside the window and he was crying for help," Ibani explains.

Sabla hms an agreement. "We rescued him, the poor thing."

Ibani sighs and temporarily gives up on trying to get the creature to move. "He was lost and he didn't know where his mother was, and he was so frightened!"

"But now he wants to perch on Ibani's head," Sabla adds, failing to stifle a grin.

"You sure do rescue a lot of baby animals," Baze says, scratching his beard. He reaches for the little creature, and then draws his hand back. If the tiny beast wants to perch on Ibani's head, then that's where it will stay.

"Well, we need to put it outside. Let's take it downstairs. Maybe we can lure it off your head and into someone else's hands with the promise of food."

"They find me!" Ibani protests.

"Because you're very likeable," Sabla suggests as they head down the stairs.

Culu and Jerec stifle chuckles at the sight of Ibani with the tiny creature on Ibani's head.

The creature makes a small, mewling noise from Ibani's head height, it's feet making scrambling noises in her hair.
