[Rose is briskly making her way through the small little town. You better hurry up or she'll leave you behind.]

Oh for Merlin's sake, do please try and catch up already! I understand that window shopping is a terrible affliction to have, but we have eggs to find and you're doing nothing but slowing us down.

If imagine that you are more than capable of finding a few eggs at your age. [You really signed yourself up for hell when you partnered with Rose to be honest.]

[strideallknight]

[Dave is approaching from the opposite way, looking distinctly ruffled.]

Lalonde, you keep that up and your partner'll be eating your dust from now to the end of time.

[But he's amused. A little.]

How's the hunt going?

[seeringlight]

[Brother. What have you got yourself into?]

It's not my fault that we have a lot of ground to cover and no time to dilly dally!

Horribly. My enthusiasm to look for colorfully painted eggs is waning.

[She folds her arms.] You look like a bird more so than usual. Did something exciting happen and I missed it? Terrible.

[strideallknight]

[Many things.]

You're picking up turns of phrase from a certain English kid. How cute.

[He shrugs.]

Nothing more exciting than me about to get eaten by cats 'cause I went and picked up the egg that made me shrink to mouse size.

[seeringlight]

Would I be sent to Azkaban for physically removing your vocal chords from your throat with my bare hands? I wonder.

[The urge is strong in this one.]

I can't particularly feel bad for you right this moment.

[strideallknight]

Depends. I might get sent there for the same reason.

[An eye for an eye, after all.]

What, just because of that comment? I didn't think you'd be so damn touchy, Lalonde. Must really like the dude.

[seeringlight]

Like you would get the chance too.

[She will cut you, bitch.]

Because it was an asinine comment and the assumption that someone else can influence my choice of words.

Unlike you, I don't easily conform to the masses.

[It isn't his fault he's falling behind! She just walks so fast, and there's just so much to see in Hogsmeade, he can't help trying to window shop a little.]

I'm comin'! Sorry, I was just lookin' at the brooms... And hey, remember, I already found some eggs! They were just... uh. Not the right kind!

[He found bird eggs. In a tree. That didn't go over well, and it resulted in him getting pecked to hell and back by a bird.]

[seeringlight]

[But...haven't you been in Hogsmeade before? You can shop later!]

You do realize that if you had touched them and it were a hamster instead of a bird, the mother would eat her young? Just thought you'd be interested to know that. [Rose being morbid as fuck Lalonde.] Plus, the eggs we're looking for are much larger than bird eggs.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Lots! But that doesn't mean he isn't fascinated with it the same every time.]

I... Uh. I had no idea. But that's nice? I think. And they didn't specify what kind of eggs, did they? They just said to find eggs!

[He wasn't paying attention, okay?] Besides, bird eggs are tasty!

[seeringlight]

Have you never been on an egg hunt before? We're supposed to acquire eggs of different colors. It's not that hard, you should really shape up.

[She will end you, Ellis. She will.] Come on, There has to be some around here.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

'course I have! Back when I was a kid and it was Easter, Keith and I used to go huntin' for eggs all the time! Only, we did extreme egg huntin'! Like, this one time, we went on a mission to find alligator eggs! It was so awesome, but man--

Oh hey look, there's one!

[He's pointing to a small cluster of eggs underneath someone's windowsill, ones of various colors.]

How's THAT for shapin' up? [And he goes right over and picks one up.

And promptly shrinks to a few inches tall.]

[seeringlight]

[She's so glad he didn't keep telling his story. Oh my god. She is never agreeing to partnering up with him again. A nice enough fellow. A bumbling idiot.]

Well. What kind of shaping up were you implying?

[She kneels down and gives him a rather shit eating smile.] My, my.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[When Ellis turns around and looks up at the face of Rose Lalonde, he can't help but let out a girly little squeak. He hadn't realized he's shrunk!]

Ohmahgawd how'd ya get so big??

[seeringlight]

[She gently picks him up by the scruff of his robe.]

It isn't me who has grown. It is you who have shrunk.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

H-hey! Put me down!

[He stares down at the ground in fear, eyes wide and holy shit it looks so high up. Ellis is pretty sure he's going to die if he falls from this height.]

Please!

[seeringlight]

[She just places him in her palm for now.]

I couldn't! You would never get around at this size. Who knows who would try to eat you. I'm sure Mutie would have found you perfect for pray!

Or worst, you could get stepped on and killed by your best friend. The possibilities are endless.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[That has him pausing, and shifting a little uncomfortably in the palm of her hand.]

...You... You think somethin' could eat me?

[seeringlight]

You are tiny enough. I am merely keeping you safe, my dear little friend. I would hate for you to get eaten. Cats tend to play with their food before killing them.

[Rose. Rose stahp.]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Ellis swallows hard, his eyes widening.]

Oh god, please don't lemme get eaten by a cat!

[seeringlight]

It's alright. I don't intend any feline foe to get you. You are safe with me. [She's just being a shit, but at least this is funner than just looking for stupid eggs.]
