Attempt One
Gegnar struck the dented, tarnished metal bell as hard as he could. The lightly armored troop of little children did not shut up as planned. He struck again. Nothing. Finally, after bludgeoning the metal bell, he sighed. "Mako, you're good with kids, go do something…"
He didn't really except Mako to understand, considering that Mako rarely understood anything other than "Cookie!" But to his surprise, Mako nodded serenely and somberly.
She walked out to the children at a squat-crouch stance. As she reached the first pair of Paladin-children, she took both of them by their arms and pried them apart. "Tokie, tokie, tokie, wuchie toki coo toki coo cookie," she said calmly in a sing-song voice that rose and fell in pitch. Surprisingly, they shut up. Mako went around, repeating "Tokie, tokie, tokie, wuchie toki coo toki coo cookie" to all the children. They shut up!
Gegnar was speechless. Now, Mako stood before all the now-calm children. She raised her hands in the hair and began to chant "Tokie, tokie, tokie, wuchie toki coo toki coo cookie." As she sang, she waved her arms left-down, and swayed them to right-down, and then back to up. The children all followed her cue and began to sing along.
Gegnar watched, mesmerized as the whole Troop Eaglet continued to sing… Then Mako stopped, and they bowed to one another. She grinned insanely and went back to scratching her ear with her foot.
The troop erupted into chaos.
Yeah, I know that was short. Sorry about the long wait. Anyways,aside note,the Tokie tokie tokie wuchie toki coo toki coo cookie little dancewas inspired by a performance by the kindergarten choir- it was so cute I just had to do something like it. Of course, they weren't singing Mako's song or anything, but it was so cute.
