Title: The Sounds of Children Playing (G, Wizard World 'Verse)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 200
Prompt: Christmas
Wizards World ‘verse … yes again. Meridae has a lot to answer for.

It was the clink of metal being dropped and then rolling followed by the skittering of little paws on slick floor that drew the attention of the adults. Thoughts of ‘they probably have one of the new toys’ making them lose interest , before the realization that among the Christmas toys had not been anything like the latest play thing. There was a thankful collective sigh that it didn’t have that hollow sound of glass before Brian stood to see what it was.

Duke briefly raised his head off of his paws to notice that Brian ‘had it’. Rustled shaking of the newspaper said that Balthazar trusted Brian to handle anything that was a problem, he was the knight in the family after all and knew when to call for help if he needed it.

Brian looked down at the small kitten racing towards the carpet’s center with something golden clenched between his teeth, his siblings racing to see where he was going to drop the favored toy. It was Brian that pounced first.

Studying the golden ring carefully, he read, Made In China then released the toy to its fate deeming it safe. It was in the wrong ‘Verse.

Made in China

Oh, sometimes I have to stop Jimmy (I think!) from chewing on the pins in my pin cushion. Weirdo!

Little Bit almost died. She ate the needle and thread at the same time as I dealt with my abraded cornea.

She wanted to be injured in sympathy with you! So sweet!!

I still miss my Minxy - she was my one true soul cat and very sensitive to my moods and depression. We were very closely bonded. My boys and I are tightly bonded too, but not quite in the same way. They're more likely to get fed up with my moping and go and catch a mouse.

That's not just going to catch a mouse, that's shopping to bring you home a gift to relieve your feeling down. Nothing says snap out of it like, 'here I brought you a live rat. Come play pounce.'

Can just imagine the self satisfied looks between your furry guys as you screamed and then started playing hunt.
