Suzaku had lived in Midnightstar Sanctuary for a little over a month as he began to feel as comfortable as ever.
Unlike back in Britannia he had been easily accepted and warmly welcomed into the family, along with several familiar faces from home.
He even had Miss Cecile who stopped by every morning just to say hello to her father, and wake him up for breakfast. She had always acted motherly towards him, now she was becoming more and more like a mother every day.
.
Just like every other morning Suzaku slowly got up, trying to get his head out from underneath Jurri's chin, checking to make sure that she didn't drool in his hair over night. Then he dragged himself out of bed and into his bathroom.
But as he reached for the light switch he paused. He couldn't seem to reach it.
"Where's the light switch?" he muttered with a yawn. Then he turned around and realized he could barely see above the counter. He was only able to see the edge of the sink and the bottom of the faucet. "Jurri! Jurri help!" he called.
The wolf quickly came running into the room, just to stop when they realized that they were both the same height.
"Jurri, help me onto the counter." said Suzaku, trying to stay calm.
So with her help, Suzaku finally managed to climb up and turn on the light just to find a curious, green-eyed, brown haired toddler starring at his reflection.
Just then there was a knock on his bedroom door.
"Suzaku? Suzaku time to come down for breakfast!" came Cecile's kind voice.
"Uh ohhhh." he muttered trying to climb down safely.
"Suzaku?"
Suzaku paused halfway off the counter as Cecile walked in the door.
"Umm…….. Hi Miss Cecile." he said in his squeaky childish voice.
Cecile starred for a moment. "Suzaku? Is that you?"
"Well I guess it is." Suzaku said, jumping down. "I mean, who else would I be?"
Cecile walked over and kneeled down in front of him. "I can't believe that's you." she said, gently running a hand through his hair.
"I can't believe it's me either." he admitted.
"You're a pretty cute little guy." she said smiling.
"That's not funny Miss. Cecile." he said stubbornly.
"Really? I thought it was."
"I don't think this is normal…….." he muttered in a bit of a sing songy voice.
"But I still think you're adorable." said Cecile matching it.
"I'm eighteen years old, I better not be adorable."
"Yes but you look like you're three."
"So? I'm still eighteen."
"In here you are." said Cecile gently tapping his head. "But out here you're not." she said, gently tickling his side, making him giggle.
"Cut it out Miss. Cecile! That's not fair!"
"I think it is." she said pulling him into a hug.
"Hey! No! Wait!" he cried trying to get free. "Jurri help!"
But Jurri just sat and watched as she wagged her tail, her head tilted to the side as her tongue hung out of her mouth.
"Traitor." Suzaku mumbled as Cecile cuddled with him.
"Oh smile Suzaku. I'm sure it could be worse." she said cheerfully.
"Worse? How could it be worse?!"
"I don't know, but I'm sure it could." she said. "But maybe we should go talk to Mr. Malachai and see what he knows about it."
"Fine." he huffed. But then he turned bright red as Cecile stood up and took his hand.
"Well then, let's go. I'm hungry."
"Have you figured out how to not burn scrambled eggs yet?" Suzaku asked.
"Of course. I just had to get a few tips and reminders from dad."
"Right……." he said slowly and doubtfully.
"I'll prove it some time."
"Fine then." he shrugged. "But I want to see if Mr. Malachai knows what's going on first."
"Alright then, let's go talk to him."
So the two of them headed downstairs together wondering what kind of answer they were going to get from Malachai or whether or not he even wanted to show himself today.
