"Oooh… What's that, Miss Elizabeth?" Soma asked. He set his teacup down and held out his hand for the furry green object Lizzie was holding.
"It's my lucky rabbit's foot! I wanted a pink one, but they didn't have any more left." She sighed softly as she handed it to him.
"You have green rabbits in England?" Soma blinked. "I wish we had exotic looking rabbits in India, but I'm afraid all we have are plain brown ones."
Lizzie looked up at him, clearly horrified. Her eyes welled up with tears.
"What's wrong, Miss Elizabeth? Tell your big brother so I can fix it for you," Soma smoothed.
"It's real…?" Lizzie squeaked.
"What's real?" Soma blinked as a puzzled frown creased his brow.
"The rabbit's foot!" she wailed.
"Oh…" Soma said. "I'm sure that rabbit gave not only his foot to help you be lucky… but ummm…." He looked over at Agni for help.
"What my prince is trying to say, is the rabbit helped feed a hungry person, his skin went to clothe a naked person who was cold and his feet, helped give you luck," Agni said as he refilled her teacup. "It is part of the cycle of life, all things live and die, Miss Elizabeth, and while the rabbit appreciates your tears, he would not want you to cry over him."
"He wouldn't?" Lizzie said as she dabbed at her face with he lace handkerchief.
"No… His soul was reborn just after he died."
"Yeah," Soma added. "I bet he's a cute little girl now." He smiled at her.
Lizzie giggled, despite her tears. "Thanks…"
"You're welcome," Soma said. "Maybe we'll meet her one of these days in the park."
"That would be wonderful, Prince Soma."
"Yeah…"
They sipped their tea, her tears forgotten…
