‘Living’ Lightly | curiositykills-thecat
At hearing she had made Kait’s day her entire being glowed like the smile that adorned her face. It was like back when she’d handed people flowers, to make their day, except she was actually being told she’d succeeded at it. Most people graciously accepted her gift then carried on, Kait took the time to tell her it had been worth it. It was…kind of all she wanted to hear really. “Nothing wrong with being sunny,” she shrugged. In all honesty she kind of enjoyed death. It’s a lot freer than her life was. Just as lonely of course, with the exception of the brunette before her, but there was more to it and more to her now.
Eira chuckled along with her. Complicated…that she was. But Eira enjoyed it. It was sort of like doing a puzzle with a friend, except the puzzle was her friend. A thought occurred to her. “Ever considered bringing it back to life again? I can touch things, so I can help with that if you’d like. And it is Halloween soon. It’d be super spooky if the place started living again.”

“Hmm? Back to life? Did once, but I can’t touch anything.” she said, shaking her head. “But with you here, maybe we can. If you can hang from a branch then you can probably touch perhaps all green living things! Sure!” she cheerfully agreed while being surprised by Eira’s ability. Why had it not even occur to her earlier that climbing a tree meant she could touch things? Like her old self, she began to do jump like a five-year-old getting an ice cream which she thought was so not her pessimistic dead self. But at the moment, she didn’t mind a bit.
