::Open RP on the Grounds::

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Outside was intimidating. The sky was too big and formless, the wind seemed to come from all directions at once, and the ground was lumpy and uneven under his feet.

But L thought he could be brave. L wanted him to be brave. And A has his wand, after all, and a growing arsenal of hexes to go with it (even if he hasn't actually tested most of them yet).

And so he's exploring the outside of the castle now. The sun is out this time, and it's already warmer than it was when L took him wand-shopping.

And there is new green grass, smelling so fresh and clean, and there are tiny flowers dotting the grass. The daisies A knows, and the foxglove, but botany was not something he studied much and he can't identify any of the others.

But oh, all those tiny shivering alive things in all the terrifying rush of air!

It's a sort of peace he can barely recognize.

Morfin buried his nose in the soft fur behind Horatio's upraised ears. The bunny smelled of warm straw and hay and grasses and dandelions. "I don't think he is afraid," Morfin agreed against bunny fur. "How are you going to use it with Schrodinger? Are you going to Accio him only if he runs into danger?"

"She," A corrects offhandedly. "And she is so bold and curious. I would only use it if she was going to get hurt or if she might be bothering someone. I don't want to make her afraid of things."

A might have trouble overcoming his fears, but he wasn't going to give Schrodinger that problem.

"I don't want to make Horatio afraid of things either, or afraid of me! There are more dangers for bunnies than for cats. I don't want him to get attacked by a bird or a cat or a dog. I want him always to be safe."

Morfin wanted desperately to have one creature in his life he could say he had never hurt.

"Safe, yes." A suddenly felt a wave of grim determination. "I'll make sure Schrodinger is safe. Always. I won't let anyone hurt her, no matter what I have to do."
