Making Presents
Characters: Venei, Amethyst, Ella
Location: Moledeep
Moledeep: Foremole's Study
Venei and Ella are in the study. Both on the floor. Both with parchments strewn about. Both working on two different things. But for the same cause. None of the older beasts are around. The fire is not lit, and they are busy enough. Sides. They cant get through the front door. The lock is too high! Venei ergs at her picture, "This is no goods!" she hrms. Ella giggles.
Amethyst enters the study sewing in paw, unaware of little otters. The blind maid means to get some work done as Flicktail is being watched by someone else right now. The maid tries to make her way to her usual chair but there seems to be small soft someones in the way. "What are you dong on the floor?" she asks trying to step around the twins rather than on them.
Ella uffs as she is lightly kicked, "Hey! Oh... Hello Amma." she watches her sit down going back to her drawing, "We is makins presents" "Yep! Presents," "Whlie mommy and daddy are doins chores" "Outta greeens..." They both giggle.
Amethyst settles down and starts to sew whatever it is she's making this time. It appears to be something yellow not that she would know without being told ahead of time. "Presents?" she asks, "Then I must be in the right room."
Ella tilts her head a bit at Amy, "Makin presents too?" she asks the rat, leaving her drawing on the ground. Venei is too engrossed in her own drawing. A little detail here. A little line there. Ella gets up and walks over to the rat, "What yah mainks?"
Amethyst smiles in the direction of Ella's voice and more as she hears the little otter draw near. "I'm making pants. For your brother. He needed some new ones. I think it's from eating off my plate too much." she jokes a little holding up her project which does look a little like what she said they were but it's not put together yet.
Ella blinks up at the pants and giggles at the color, "Is yellows! He will looks funnies..." she hrms, "Daddy needs some yellow pants... Nononono! Purples!" she giggles some more as she starts to bounce around at the thought of purple pants on dad.
Amethyst frowns a little, "Fira can make Aik any color pants she or you want. And I don't just pick colors randomly I ask what color would be best for what I'm making. ... I may need to be more choosey on whom I ask ..."
Ella stops bouncing around and then steps back a bit, frowning as well "Who choooses yellow?" she asks matter of factly.
"Because he likes yellow," the blind rat says choosing not to mention it had been a compromise when her first choice, orange, was rejected. She had once seen color but her memories of them where fuzzy and her sense of what color goes with what hadn't properly developed before she became blind.
Ella squenches one aye at the rat, "Willy-will chooses it?" she asks, guessing. "That's funny, that is." she shrugs a bit bouncing back to her drawing. And looking for a color stick that is closest to purple. Which is just a dark blue looking color. Making the pants on her drawn present, well... Dark blue. Venei takes this opportunity to look at Ella's, "Purply?" she giggles.
Amethyst sighs, "Yes he did pick it. Apparently orange isn't a good color for pants. It's ok for shirts though. I may have to ask your Mum or Garnet and see if he's actually right about that or not."
Venei says, "I think both are funnies... I likes green though... its the best" "No, Blue" "Greeeenns!" "Bluuuuues!" "Greengreengreen!" "Blueblueblue!" Ella growls and pounces on her sister, While Venei takes her and starts to gnaw on Ella's shoulder. They both growl and giggles as they roll about the ground, and over their presents.
Amethyst would also vote blue as it's her favorite but they didn't ask her. "Hey there. Settle down. Do you two want to get messed up and have to take a bath?" the rat asks smirking.
Ella growls loudly and tackles her sister to the ground, pinning her, "Blues!" Venei ergs and tries to push back, "nonono neva!" she grins and 'gives up' when she hears the part about that bath, "A baths!? Yay!..." and then the happens is quickly dissolved as she remembers, "Oh... wait..." her ears go down, "...Swan in the ponddy... Were not aloud to go in da pond." Ella stick out her tongues, "Ew, not the basin-anum. not enough rooms for swimmins!" she pouts.
Amethyst continues to smirk, "That's right if you keep fighting you'll get messy and have to take a bath with no room to swim in just room to get washed in."
As if Amy had said a bad word. Both little otters ears, eyes and hearts go down, "Fine..." Ella growls, "Dont wanna bath in basisms." Venei pouts, "We is be goods..." little shove, "...No more fightins..." little push, "...Dont wanna baths..." tossed color stick, "...Eh..." And bam, as if nothing was ever said. The otter go at it again. Its just ottery love for each other!
Amethyst shakes her head but she'll leave them alone til they sound like they really need help. And if they happen to get messy their parents can deal with it.
The otters go at it for a little bit longer till they tire out. They lay on the ground, their chest going up and down as they catch their breath. Ella says through, "Okay... Greeny is not so bad..." Venei smiles, "I like blue toos..." They both giggle at each other, whacking their paws at one another for a bit until they tire again. Going back to their drawings. To bad everything pretty much went everywhere.
Amethyst doesn't mind too much so long as most of the mess doesn't come toward her. She pluck a color stick from her lap and tosses it onto the floor. She may end up cleaning this up as she has to walk across that floor. But for the moment she'll let them be at least until she finishes this seam.
Ella and Venei go around picking up the odd stick and paper. Mostly just what they need. Good thing Venei like to use many colors. So only a few things are left about as they flop back down to their papers. They go about drawing again until Venei says, "All dones!" she grins holding it up, showing it to Ella. Ella frown a bit. She is nowhere near at close to finishing...
Well if Ella had spent more time drawing and less time fighting and poking fun at Amy's choice of pants color her picture would be done too. "What did you draw Venei?" Amy asks.
Venei gets up and points at the picture, "Is a picture of mummy and daddy... for their... anibursery..." she hrms a bit. It looks pretty good considering. For someone her age. Ella frowns a bit and goes back to drawing purple pants on dad.
Amethyst nods a little, "Very good. I'm sure they'll like it." She smiles even though she can't see it. "And what are you drawing Ella?"
Venei's ears twitch at the compliment, smiling, "Thanke!" she giggles before going to sit in one of the chairs. Putting the paper next to her, with a big ole grin on her face. Ella is still a bit of a frowner as she holds up her half finished drawing, "Is a picture of us when we is oldrers... With mums and dads..." Its looks very similar to what Venei drew. Except it has Ella and Venei drawn. And the Aik drawing is grey instead of the yellow.
Amethyst nods, "Very nice. I've sure they'll love them both very much." The blindmaid puts down her needle and feels over her work to see if all the seams have been done right. She tugs lightly as the seams to see if they'll hold and to see if she needs to redo anything.
Ella smiles as well at the compliment, going back to finishing her drawing with more gusto than normal. Venei yawn loudly as she falls off the chair with her drawing and says, "I want some food. Im going to the kitchy and getting some food..." and off she goes to find Garnet. Garent equals food. Ella hrms to herself as she continues. But now food is on the brain.
Amethyst waves a little setting her sewing down at last, "Have fun." She turns to the remaining otter, "Now before you run off to join her we need to clean things up in here because no beast will be happy if we leave a mess in here. Your mum and dad wont be happy and my husband, that is your big brother, wont be happy. So we need to clean up.
Ella frowns a bit, and looks around. There isn't much of a mess. Side the odd paper here and there. And a coloring stick on the chair. Its pretty clean considering. She picks up her almost finished paper and places it on the chair, "...Okay..." she frowns deeply at Amy. Before going around and picking up the rest of the stuff around the floor, muttering to herself.
Amethyst can't see the frown but she's not making the otter clean by herself as she's gotten out of her chair to help clean up anything she can find on the floor that doesn't belong there. "When we're done we'll go to the kitchen and maybe see if there's something for good little otters that help?" she suggests.
Ella Smiles a bit as she goes and puts the last bit of of the paper on the chair. Not seeing anything else around that's visible. She then nods, "Okay... That's it..." she nods a bit more and then goes on ahead of Amy, "Okeedokee. I'm stravish." she giggles as she runs with her picture into the kitchen.
Amethyst finishes up picking up anything she can find and putting things in a pile on the table. Everything in the chairs other then her project gets the same treatment. She isn't worried about Ella running off as Garnet is more then likely in the kitchen.
Once she's done the rat gathers up the finished pants and goes to check on the twins. Finding them safe with Garnet she leaves to go put her sewing things away in her room before joining the stoatwife and otter dibbuns in the kitchen and with Garnet's help finding some treats for the little otters.
