paradisa | DAY 3

[He was about to get up to help before Sakura stopped him. Then he slumps back into his chair, slightly annoyed. Did he just get kitchened from going into the kitchen? He effing hates this week. ]

[ Kate's already gone to work on making some soup with the fish. She doesn't look too worried anymore. It's good to have some nice people helping out her poor friend, even if they want her hair in return. ]

There's nothing around here that's done this before to him.

[ The bear smiles now, easing up a little. The company is nice. ]

Has he been out in the cold for a long amount of time? Or hung out with anypony - I mean, anyone different? It could have been accidentally given to him. But he'll definitely get better... he just might be like this for another day or two. these things take time to work out of the system.

[She'll even give him a nice rub-down on the shoulders. Nice bear.]

[ Meanwhile, Sakura's looking for a rag for Fluttershy's idea... oh! She waves her hand to Zelos, pointing at something over his shoulder. Help a girl out, will he? In fact, really help Fluttershy and Mr Bear out, as she leaves the water by his feet. Water, bear. She knew he got that much, if... she'd keep her opinions on cooling mechanisms to herself.

Surreptitious glance at said feet before she stands, going to the kitchen to see if the long haired lady wants some assistance. ]

[He watches and then nods, understanding for the most part...he hopes. But he'll look around the direction she's pointing before he sees a ladle- aha! He grabs the bucket and the ladle and hauls it over to the bear...though it's practically nearly dragging the bucket my gooooddess he misses his strength.]

[But whatever. He'll smile at the bear before ladling some water from the bucket and holding it up to the bear's mouth- please open up and not to bite my hand off, Mr. Bear? ]

I... did take a late night swim. [ He feels a little embarrassed.

And rub downs are nice!! The bear relaxes some more until Zelos is in front of him. He peers down his snout at Zelos but opens his mouth to drink.

Kate pipes up from the kitchen: ] It gets pretty cold at night. He must have not warmed up by the fireplace after.

Mystery solved! Why, mister bear, you should know better than that! No more late night swims for you. That's why you're so sick... you need to be more responsible, or you'll keep making your friends worry, and you don't want to do that.

[ Meanwhile, Sakura has written a note for their red-headed-lady. ]

How long have you known this bear?

[He'll carefully ladle the water into the bear mouth so he can drink, wagging his finger of his free hand with Fluttershy's words - BE CAREFUL MR. BEAR]

[ HE'S JUST SO EMBARRASSED NOW. ABLOO BLOO LOOK AT HIM LOOKING ALL SAD. ]

I've worried everyone. I am dreadfully sorry!

[ And Kate takes the note from Sakura, now giving her the bowl of soup in exchange to give to the bear. ]

Him? Since I was a kid.

[She nuzzles his head affectionately.]

Now now... you're not a bad bear. You just made a bad decision. We forgive you.

[ Sakura has the soup in hands, looking to Kate... and smiling as she turns to head back toward the bear. It's quite the crowd around the bed now. Sakura walks over to Zelos, coming close to him with the soup in order to make use of the ladle maybe. Plus, if she can keep him from moving around, the rest would be a benefit.

She offers it forward to Zelos, nodding her head toward Mr Bearpants. ]

[Zelos smiles and makes a voiceless laugh which just sounds like quiet hitching breath as he pats the bear on the shoulder. It's okay bro it happens]

[He'll take the soup and with the ladle, scoop up a small amount and hold it up to the bear's mouth]

[ Kate smiles and watches the bear eat. Food is also always good in the company of others. ]

Fluttershy, you said you sing?

That's right... Oh, shall I sing him a lullaby?

[She moves away to give everyone some room, and gently stands on the floor. She sings softly like this, without a SweetieBelle to suddenly break into gospel.]

Hush now, quiet now,
It's time to lay your sleepy head
Hush now, quiet now,
It's time to go to bed...
Drifting off to sleep,
The exciting day behind you,
Drifting off to sleep,
Let the joy of dream land find you...

[ Sakura listened -- such a very nice, soft singer for a soft song -- dividing her attention between Mr. Bear, Kate, and shifting enough so as to also be aware of the door. ]

[He watches too, slowly pulling away from the bear and setting down the soup bowl and ladle. They sure lucked out by having Fluttershy nearby, that's for sure.]

[ The song is gentle and relaxing, eventually getting the bear to drift to sleep. He looks comfortable in his sleep, too.

Kate's impressed. ]

Thank you all.

You're very welcome...

[Uh, but we still need... she toes the ground uncomfortably.]

Um... Since he's going to be okay... Well... You know... We kinda need that hair...

How much do you need?

[He looks at his two companions...and then gives a kayne shrug. He has no idea. ]

[ Well, she does have quite a bit of hair. She grabs a knife from off the wall (look it's just there) and grabs the ends of her hair. Then in a swift movement, she cuts off about half of it. ]

[ Sakura bows in thanks to Kate, grateful for her donation.

To Locks of Love.

... Really. She steps forward to relieve the lovely lady of her burden? ]

[She yelps! That's a lot! But then she bows her head gracefully.]

I can't thank you enough, this means a lot from all three of us... Our friends are in need too, so this will really help out.

Whatever it is, I hope it works out for the best.
