O... okay...

*Climbing up on the chair! This feels so wrong.* This is okay, right? *And taking a cupcake. Or two.*

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Yes, it's fine. Feet don't belong on the table, but a chair is all right.

[shikit]

Okay... *Okay, now she has like. Five cupcakes in her arms. Somehow not getting frosting on herself.* Can I take this many?

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Sure.

[shikit]

Really? *She's glowing. And now she's sitting down in the chair and putting the cupcakes down in front of her. They're ordered based on color.* ...oh, do you want one?

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Don't worry, I've been eating while working.

[shikit]

*She takes a nibble. Oh, it's good! Her eyes light up.*

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Like it, huh?

[shikit]

Yes...! It's delicious!

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Glad you think so. Help yourself to as many as you like.

[shikit]

*She eats the cupcakes! Neatly and politely with very little bites.*

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

[So cute.] You are pretty neat for a kid.

[shikit]

Well, doing the chores is my job, so... it's important to be clean.

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Job? Aren't you too young?

[shikit]

Well, it's my duty. I don't get paid for it.

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

...is this a magical and or spiritual creature sort of duty?

[shikit]

...um, I think so? I'm Lady Yukari's shiki. But I'm not strong enough to help her with my magic yet.

So I do the chores.

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Shiki?

[shikit]

It's short for something but I have trouble pronouncing the full word...

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

What's a Shiki usually do?

[shikit]

Whatever her master needs her to do.

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

Really?

Are you...made by your master?

[shikit]

Not made. But she gave me her power.

[whocanhelpinthebigbadwolf]

So who did make you?

[shikit]

My mother and father.
