WHO: Mirabel and the network
WHERE: In her room
WHEN: A few days after the event, late at night
WHAT: Mirabel has some questions
WARNINGS: Maybe near death mention? Possession talk.

[It’s been a few days since the fae realm ordeal. Mirabel’s learned a few things. One, she’s still furry. Two, she can’t sleep. Not after… everything that happened. She doesn’t want to talk about it, not really. But she really needs to sleep. So she has a late night question for the network.]

I’m having problems falling asleep. Either I can’t fall asleep or I keep having nightmares. Is there something I can do so I can get some sleep?

[And then she has another question. She’s very careful about asking this one, so she locks her second question from the rest of her family.]

So I’ve been reading up on possession. [A lie.] It seems like a pretty scary thing to go through. Can anyone tell me more about it? Like… what happens if it happens to you?

[A pretty innocent question, right? She hopes no one sees right through it.]

[Oh Antonio, you shouldn't have to help her with her problems. But she smiles anyway.]

I think some warm milk and a toy snuggle would help a lot, actually.

Do you want me to come over and give you a hug too? I heard that helps a lot! It's what my mom does sometimes.

[Well, the mom in this place anyway.]

I think it's a little late for you to come over, but I would definitely like to see you and give you a hug sometime.

Then let me know when you do! I wouldn't mind giving you a hug and cheering you up! I could even give you some more toys to help you sleep.

How about tomorrow? We could go somewhere fun tomorrow.

[Mirabel doesn't stop to considering that Antonio hasn't seen her since she got cursed, and that maybe her half-animal appearance might startle him??]

That sounds good! Do you have anywhere you want to go? I thought maybe the mall but I don't know would that interest you.

The mall sounds like fun! Why don't we go tomorrow?

[speaksanimal]

That sounds good to me! I can't wait to give you all the toys I have that will make you feel better!

Oh, I can even give you an elephant doll that I used to hug a lot! I think you would like that.

I really appreciate that, Antonio. Anything you give me would cheer me up for sure.
