first story

[ Sitting by the window with the journal opened on her lap, the foundling child had been flipping through its pages, trying to see what it is she could learn from it. It wasn't nighttime so she knew any hopes of trying to communicate with the Man in the Moon wasn't an option. At least, not yet. She had already stuck her head outside her door but she was airing on the side of precaution for now.

When Katherine had woken up suddenly in this room just minutes ago, she sat up right in the bed with wide eyes. The last thing she could remember was the Lamadary and the meeting she had been apart of along with the other Guardians. How she ended up here in this room left her puzzled and a little worried.

She had found the journal in the room and made a grab for it at once. When it doubt, consult the books. It was the best way to find answers after all. Looking through it, she came to realize that it wasn't just any old book. It was a magic one. While for some that might make them feel unease or nervous about, for Kathrine, it brought the biggest smile to her face. ]

This journal is amazing-- If I didn't already know any better, it could very well be Mr. Qwerty! [ There's a pause as she watches her words slowly appear on the blank page of her book. She smiled even more as she tapped said page. ] I never thought I would see another book like him. This will be very helpful to have.

[ Her fingertips drum against the page as she looks at it. ] I wonder if there is a way to get a message to Mr. Qwerty through this book. I want to let them all know that I'm okay before they worry.

[He'd be glad for her holding back. After all, how COULD he broach such things, especially Pitch. She was one of the few people to show him compassion from the start]

You can count on it, it's Easter soon.

Is it? [ She had not even bothered to look for a calender or even a clock when she found herself here. Magical books can be distracting like that. ] How many days?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunny tilts his head, making the math in his head]

'Bout twenty five days or so.

[ Twenty-five days? That didn't sound like he had much time left when so many eggs are needed for such a day. ]

Are you going to be ready in time?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He gives her a reassuring smile]

You know me, I'll figure a way to make it through.

[storiestotell]

Well, if there is anyway I can help just say the word, okay? I promise I'll do my best!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I might do that just yet. There are a lot of googies to paint, after all.

[ With a warm smile she took the moment to hug the pooka. ]

You can always count on me, Bunnymund.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He returns the hug, glad for that moment she can't see the pain expression that crosses his face]

I know, darl. You've always got our corner.

[ If she had she would have ended up worrying even more. A sudden thought occurs to her when she does finally look up at him. ]

It'll probably easier for me to find you but just so you know, my room is 2108. I'm sure if Kailash were here it would be the perfect spot for her to fly from since it's in a tower.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Castle must have worked it that way.

[Still, he manages a semi-convincing smile when she does look at him] Right. I'll remember that.
