peeks over his shoulder.

jumps in surprise, dropping a book which Mr. Puffin started to nibble at.

chuckles a bit. "Where'd ye find this stuff...?"

shrugs. "Around..." It was under a large pile of work he'd been putting off. Apparently he'd been putting it off longer than he thought..

nods and started going through some things himself.

pulls the book away from Mr. Puffin before hearing a voice. "Oi, it's the dumbass again."

blinks.

stares at Mr. Puffin, the bird glaring up at Soren. "Yeah, I'm talkin' to you."

... staaaaares.

Mr. Puffin bites at his finger.

flails and backs up. "What is this fuckery?!"

((... OTL I can't believe I actually just typed that. ))

just stares.... Mr. Puffin fluffs his wings at him angrily. "What?! Have you never seen a cute fluffy puffin before?!"

"I've never heard a puffin talk before."

Mr. Puffin scowls. "You just never listen to me, dumbass."

... nods. "... Right."

just keeps staring as Mr. Puffin stormed off, ranting about humans.

... slowly looks over to Ari.

...doesn't look at him.

just stares. "Is... that... normal?"

shakes his head...

nods faintly. "... Right." He just... kept staring at where the puffin left.

looks at the book. "...It's one of Norge's magic books..."

looks over and smiles a bit. "I wonder what kinda spells are in 'em." He took the book and started flipping through it.

shrugs and peeks over his shoulder.

smiles a little as he flipped through the pages. He remembered when Norge had written some of them.

watches, remembering a few...

looks down to him. "Do ye know how to cast any of these?"

fidgets. "Of course I do." He could.... a little... sometimes.

smiles. "Ye should teach me!"

blushes. "N-no..."

pouts a bit. "Why not?"

huffs. "Because it's easy to mess up."

shrugs. "So? We could have fun! It's not like he'd have anythin' dangerous in her, right?"

..."Are you sure you knew him?"

rolls his eyes. "Of course I do. He's my best friend."

"Dangerous is exactly what he'd keep around."

... smiles more. That sounded even more interesting now~

..huffs. "No."

nods and takes a book before running.

growls and takes off after him. "Give it back!"

just kept running. He was going to have fun with these spells~

didn't want him touching his brother's stuff! He'd be the one blamed!

would take all the blame~ He was use to getting yelled at by Norge anyways.

tries to pull it out of his hands.

holds it high above his head. "Come on, just one spell~"

jumps for it. "Nei!"

kept holding it up. "Aww, why noootttt? He'd never find out~"

frowns. "N-nei! He'd get mad at me..."

rolls his eyes and turns his back to him, opening the book to a random page and looking over the words.

tries to reach around him.

starts speaking the words, not imagining anything would happen since he started half way through the spell.

frowns as his whole body starts to itch, too scared to interrupt the spell now.

smirked and continued with it, interested in the words mostly. He didn't even know what it did.

can feel himself staring to shrink and whimpers. "Dan..."

just continued, thinking he was trying to stop him. Which he was, but he ignored.

growls as he keeps shrinking, his voice going more high pitched. "Dan, you better be able to find the counter...."

stopped when he finished and turned to look at him. "Ye say somethi-...ng..." He just looked down at the other.

had turned into a younger version of himself, glaring and pouting up at him.

... smiles slowly. "Ye look adorable."

punches his leg.

hissed a bit. "Aww, come on." He put the book down. "Ye're cure like this.

*cute

pouts up at him and crosses his arms.

chuckles. "Do ye know what the counter spell looks like..?"

shakes his head and tries to reach for the book.

... thought that was cute and opened the book from the front, slowly looking over each spell.

huffs and glares at him.

chuckles. "S'not my fault I don't know the counter. I could try sayin' all these spells though..."

rolls his eyes and sits down, sulking.

shrugged. "Maybe it'll wear-off."

glares at him.

shrugs. "Hej, s'not my fault!"

keeps glaring. It was very obviously all his fault.

... hugged him tightly. He liked kids. A lot.

huffs and doesn't hug him back.

pouts a bit. "Arriiii. Come on. I didn't mean to do this."

grumbles and shoves at him lightly.

... smiles and ruffles his hair.

glares up at him.

"Ye hungry, kid Ari~?"

punches lightly at his leg.

made a small sound. "Oh come on, don't be so grumpy..."

grumbles and pouts.

went to go get a beer.

kicks at him.

hissed a bit. "Ari! That's not nice."

pouts and stamps his feet.

.... picks him up and brings him to the kitchen, sitting him on the table. He couldn't ever be mad at Ari...

grumbles and glares at him. He hated being carried...

liked it. He was just a bundle of joy in his arms~... Kind of. "What do ye wanna eat?"

sticks out his tongue.

... smiles. "Kay. I'll make danishes then."

turns his back to him.

chuckles as he got to baking.

grumbles to himself.

quietly made them and turned around a bit later, holding a freshly made one up to his face.

...glares at him. He really wanted that danish...

smirked and kept holding it in front of his face.

moves away.

rolls his eyes. "Come on, I know ye love these."

sticks his tongue out.

licked his tongue.

blinks quickly and glares at him.

smiled. "I dare ye to do it again."

punches at him.

chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Come on, eat." He held out the pastry again.

growls but takes the pastry.

smiles. "Good~ Tell me how it is now."

sticks his tongue out before quickly blocking his mouth with the pastry.

chuckled and ruffled his hair. "At least ye don't make the same mistake twice."

huffs and glowers at him.

sighed. "I'll try and fix this tonight, kay?"
