Mixik didn't like fighting, no matter who it was. Her parents, other adults, her fellow kids… All of it upset her, and that's why she almost always tried to find a way to make it stop. Sometimes, a lot needed to be done, but other times? She just had to step in.
Qifi and Iretix were fighting again, the two often getting into arguments. And, well, Mixik had enough! Fighting just made everyone sad. Those directly involved, those impacted, and those who just had to see it. She was going to put her foot down!
"You two, enough of that!" She was quick to float towards them. "There's no reason to fight over a lost toy! We can all work together to find it, okay?"
They both looked at her and started insisting the other started it, but when she cleared her throat they calmed down. Soon enough, they were all working together to try and find what was lost. Good! This was a better way for them to all spend their time, if you asked her…
As she asked a few adults to help them look, since they could feel around and look for it at the same time, Menyx approached. Menyx, a strange and quiet child who didn't really spend time near Mixik unless they were in a group…
"Mixik." They spoke first, voice shaking with nerves. "The, uh, way you dealt with that fight was really cool…!"
Mixik tilted her head to the side. "Huh? I was just doing what I thought was right. I hate fighting so much…"
Menyx shifted in their pod as Mixik waited patiently to see what they had to say. "Well, I hate fighting too, but I never know how to stop it. You're always helping people get along, it's… really cool!"
"Oh, thanks, then." Mixik still didn't think it was cool, but she guessed she got where they were coming from. They were really quiet when fights broke out (even quieter than usual)! "You can learn to do it yourself, too, though."
"Uh… not sure I will, but I'll try!" Menyx nodded. "Uh, thank you!"
And with that, off they went to help look for the toy. Mixik had to say she was looking forward to seeing what they did. It would be nice to have more people dealing with the fights that broke out sometimes. There was only so much one child could do, after all!
But for now, she would keep up with it. She was good at stopping fights, so… She just had to help her parents next. Ever since their keepsake had broken, things had just gotten so bad. She just wanted them to make up…
When she had a chance, she would make sure she got it fixed! Maybe they would stop fighting then… Yeah, it seemed about right to her. She always found a way to stop fights, so this time would be no different…
That much she promised, for herself and for her parents.
