the cactus kid (11)

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[Minnie was going about her normal day in the castle, but as she went into the kitchen, there came a horrible SNAP! She then shrieked in pain, naturally heard over the journal.]

Owww! Ow ow ow! Oh my goodness, what in the world - ow!

[For those who walk in the kitchen, they'll find the tip of Minnie's tail caught in a mouse trap. it looks quite painful, and Minnie for all of her tugging can't get it off.]

Who would leave such a dangerous thing laying around - ow! Ow! Let me gooo!

[She quickly tugs her tail away, then pets it.]

That's much better...

_{{Ashura releases the trap again and sets it up on the table as he rises.]}

There. I wonder who left that there...

Does your tail perhaps need ice?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little... If this was another castle prank, oooh!

[pout pout pout]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

The castle is cruel, but I do not think it is this sort of petty cruel.

_{[He goes to fetch a rag and puts ice in it, and leans down to hand it to Minnie.]}

I am Ashura-ou, by the by.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She takes it with a smile.]

My name is Minnie Mouse. It's very nice to meet you.

[and she curtsies.]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He nods his head to her in his version of a bow.]}

Nice to meet you Minnie. I am glad I came upon you at a fortuitous time, else your tail came to more harm.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I'm very grateful! Is there anything I can do to thank you?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Well, I was going to have tea and maybe take out my pets, if you care to join. A good conversation is always enjoyed.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That sounds absolutely splendid!

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He smiles and fetches a small basket, putting in a pot of tea and two cups.]}

This way.

_{[He heads out, where two creatures are waiting outside the door of the kitchen - a Flareon and an Espeon.]}

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She blinks, surprised to see them.]

Oh, my. I've never seen pets like that before.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

They are called 'Pokemon'. The red and yellow one is Agni, and we have not yet named the purple one.

_{[The two mewled and wagged their tails, following Ashura and Minnie as they headed down the hall.]}

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

What beautiful animals! It's very nice to meet you both.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[The Pokemon turned and yipped at her, then bounded down the hall, playing and batting at each other with their owner looking on with a fond smile.]}

Thank you. You'll have to forgive them being to frisky - it has been a bit since they were last out.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I don't mind. Back home, I have a dog named Pluto, and he's just as playful.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Might I ask where your home is? I find myself always curious about the other worlds represented here.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

My world is the Disney Kingdom. It's a wonderful place, filled with such kind people.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

It sounds lovely, Minnie. You must miss it.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

What about your world?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

I miss mine too. It is a beautiful land of trees and rivers. We have these lovely little song birds that I dearly miss.

_{[He thinks it best not to ruin the mood by also saying that his home is at war.]}

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[good call.]

Oh, I love song birds! We have those too!

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He looks down at her and is suddenly struck at how... innocent she is. He smiles and nods, Agni and Espeon coming back to mewl at them to hurry up and he chuckles.]}

Yes, little ones, we are coming. Calm down.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[she can't help but giggle.]

Sorry, we'll talk more once we get there!

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[They step out into the garden and Ashura leads the small Queen around to a few trees and a bench with a space in front of it for the little creatures to play. He sits, taking out the tea things and the two Pokemon bound about in play, chasing each other and sometimes insects beneath the watchful eye of Ashura.]}

Tell me more of your world, Minnie.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She sits beside Ashura, watching the animals play for a bit before answering.]

Well, there's Disney Castle, where I live with my husband and our servants... and then there's Disney Town, where the people live.
