//thank you BLUEPOCH

-hyper focused on the puzzle box, she even got up early to figure it out-

"?!?!" A grin spread across her face in excitement. A puzzle box!!! It doesn't look like any puzzle box she had ever seen before. "Huh? Did you cheated?" She wasn't really listening, instead she was far more focused on shaking the box as though it would reveal some hints on where to start.

!!!! ?!?! -she takes it gently- What is this? -poking at it- A box? It looks really hard to make.

.... you look scary

Toad?

?

Cold again.

Finally. It's done. A drum that was half as tall as her. Engraved with different sigils overlapping with each other in a complex pattern. It would normally be far too heavy for her to have carve and carry, but magic really solves everything in Sylvia's opinion. As of now, it's floating ahead of

-yawns-

-taking a break to make herself a kaval-

-looking up curiously- Hmm? What do you mean? I don't need anything.

-looking at leftover wood- I have a lot of wood left. Maybe I can make something else with them.

Oh. -sulks- It's because I'm too young. I understand. I don't know much yet.

-huffs- I like puzzles. It sound like a puzzle.

Are we playing music? I didn't finish the drum yet.

Jazz?

Labyrinth?

I need to teach the drum the more cheerful songs

I guess I can use more plants and change it a little.

-humming as she continue to finish up hallowing out the tree trunk- Alright. I'll need some skin. I don't think there's rabbits around here...wait. I think someone did mention rabbit? Hmm.

//scenario occurs to me Sylvia: ávia said I'm allowed to curse people if they touch my hair without permission. Sylvia's dad, exhausted from managing two magic kids on his own: you are ABSOLUTELY NOT allowed to curse people for that. Don't make me tell your mother and undo that curse on Josefina.

"It's okay. It's just a drum. And I offer it. Being a shopkeeper like mom is harder than I expected. But now that I did it, maybe she'll let me go with her to help out." !!!! -successfully distracted from the drum making session- "You have a garden? Like garden garden? Or like fruits and

-didn't mention that he asked for a year off her life-

Uh huh. -hyper focused on the tree trunk- He said he'll teach me magic in exchange. He wanted my name but mom said I have to protect that. So I offer him the magic drum. I'm going to miss the apple tree I grew. But magic is more important. Did you know he can grow food out of magic? I haven't

Making a magic drum for Merlin. -careful carving-

-working hard bright and early, hollowing out the tree trunk- This is taking too long. And I still haven't gotten the other stuff yet.

-yawning- I think I'll have to finish tomorrow.

-working hard with Vorpal to carve up her tree-

-mournfully patting her tree- "You did a good job keeping me fed here. Your children will carry on your important legacy." Alright. Time to cut down her tree.

-turn her scarf into a ball and kick it around-

//i like to think that Valencia didn't mention the mermaid eating the human part to canary and lark when they were kids, since lmao

Ok

So...Santas is a fake but it's a job.

//i keep having to double check what is santa at that time era. Rudolph didn't exist until 1939. Fun fact

You guys are like the party santa.

You're not a real Santa anyway

Avia and her friends knows a lot of people and have lots of love stories like that.

I think avia said the mermaid still has his bones the last she spoke with her.

Oh. He's like Leandro. Avia said all the Ladies in waiting loved him. But then he went and die at sea. At least that the official story at the court but a mermaid fell in love with him and drowned him.

I think you can eat American mistletoes

✨️✨️✨️ -wide awake and running around-

-sleepy yawn-

-sulking- I hope Mateu is taking care of the log

!!! -peeks-

-miserably eating an apple for the 3rd day in a row-

I like the choir part of Church but I'm not allowed to join. In the last town, Carmen was bullying me and pulled my hair. So I punched her really hard and broke her tooth. We ended up leaving later because Carmen's dad was in charge of a lot of things

-change into a small black bird in her excitement and flutter off-

!!! Okay!!! I'm gonna go play in the tree then!!

!!!! So it's really okay if I don't go to Church? And they're not going to do anything about it? Nothing?
