Prompt: You Better Leave Now Rating: Everyone
Summary: Seth was hit with an aging spell.
"You did what!" Eve cried.
"I may have turned Seth into a toddler," the fair folk admitted sheepishly, "It's only temporary! Maybe a day or two but…"
Eve looked down at the toddler in her arms. He looked just like Seth, chocolate hair and eyes with flawless tan skin, except he looked…. younger. More cute rather than handsome. Eve blushed at the thought.
Eve sighed, "Only a day or two, right?"
The fair folk nodded enthusiastically before looking down at Seth, "I think he likes you," he smiled.
Eve glared at him, "You better leave now," she waved him off. The fair folk did not hesitate to leave the room. A mad Eve was a scary Eve, and no one wanted a scary Eve. Last time she got mad, no one could use the kitchen for weeks due to a mice infestation.
"Do you know me?" Even asked the toddler.
The toddler shook his head, "No,"
"I'm Eve," she smiled, "I'm your friend."
"Friend?" Seth asked hopefully.
"Friend." She agreed.
Seth giggled and Eve looked at him, "So," she started, "What do you want to do?"
"Adventa!" Seth said happily.
That's when Eve knew this was Seth and not some random toddler, "You want to go on an adventure?" She asked.
Seth clapped happily, "Adventa with Eve!"
"Do you want to go see the horses?" Eve asked. She knew it was boring to visit the horses, she had done it a million times, but she didn't want Seth to get injured, "We could go look at the flowers? They are very pretty this time of year."
"No!" Seth pouted adorably, "Boring!"
"It is boring," Eve agreed.
"See a dragon?" Seth asked hopefully, "dragon!"
Even would never admit that was exactly what she wanted to do. "I don't want to see a dragon," she said, "How about I tell you a story?"
"Adventa story!" Seth asked hopefully.
"Adventure story," Even agreed
"Story!" Seth clapped happily, "Story!"
Even smiled and sat down, putting Seth on the couch next to her, which he completely disagreed with. As soon as she set him down, he climbed right back into her lap.
Eve's eyes widened, she had gone on quests and seen dragons, but she honestly didn't know how to handle a baby.
"Do you want to hear the story of an adventurer?" She asked.
"Who?" Seth asked, bouncing on her knee.
"His name is Seth, just like you," Eve smiled.
"Seth!" Seth said happily, "Tell stowy of Seth!"
"Once upon a time," Eve started, "There was an amazing adventurer named Seth. He was charming and funny," Eve said dreamingly.
"Keep gowing!" Seth pouted.
"He killed demons and dragons," Eve said, "And went on many adventures and saved lots of people."
"Seth amazing!" Seth laughed.
"He is," Eve agreed.
"Who did Seth like?" Seth asked innocently.
"There was a princess who liked him," Eve admitted, "He came to the castle during a giant dragon war for advice. The princess loved how he always went on adventures and snuck away with him on one."
"And they got mawied and lived hapilly ever after?" Seth asked.
Eve laughed, "No, Seth had to go and save the world. The princess had to stay behind."
Seth sniffled, "Sad," he said.
"But the prince came back to visit the princess," Eve added.
"Seth nice!" Seth giggled.
"Seth is very nice." Eve agreed.
"I want to go on an Adventa like Seth!" Seth announced proudly.
"Well then," Even picked him up with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, "Let's go on an adventure."
"Yeah!" Seth whooped, "Just like Seth!"
"Do you want to go see a dragon?" Eve asked, "I'm not good at babysitting, but I could cloak us so the dragon cannot see us!"
"Yeah!" Seth laughed, "Go see dragon! Then find a princess!"
"Then find princess," Eve agreed as she led the toddler to find a dragon.
Kendra peeked out from behind the pillar and smiled. That went so perfect, you would almost think it was planned.
