Things had quieted down around the manse after First meal. Zsadist and a few of the other brothers had taken off for patrol and the shellans all seemed to be off catching up on their own things that had been put aside in preparation for the fall festival. So she was going to take the evening to just enjoy spending time with Nalla.
Grabbing some paper and the basket of crayons off Nalla's shelf in her room, she brought them back over to set down on her small table and then took a seat in an equally small chair. "Want to color?"

She looked up at her Mahmen and smiled, her eyes shinning with joy and childish amusement. "We need a bigger chair for you, Mahmen." She sat in front of her and took a pretty blue crayon. "I want to. You color that pony and I color this one. Yours is pink, Mahmen, so you can't use a red crayon. It has to be pink." She said with a serious tone.

She raised her brows. "Oh. Well I better find a pink crayon then." Sorting through the basket, she pulled out a pink crayon and began coloring. "You know, I have to go see uncle Rooster tomorrow to see about a donations for some up coming events. Do you want to draw him a picture for me to take to him? I bet he'd really like that."

She stuck her tongue out while she colored, very focused on her task, even though she just couldn't seem to be able to stay within the lines. "Yes, Mahmen. I'd love that." She pointed to the blue pony she was working on. "Her name is Rainbow Dash. When I am done, I will give her to you for Uncle Rooster. Do you think he'll like it?" She asked her with a smile. "Oh, and yours is called Pinkie Pie."

A smile spread across her face as she looked at the picture. "Of course he will. It's beautiful! You should try and write your name on the bottom like we've been practicing too." Setting her crayon down, she rooted through the basket for a hot pink crayon and then wrote "Pinkie Pie" on the top of the paper. "This one is for you."

Her eyes widened and a smile curled her lips. "For me? Really, Mahmen? Thank you!" She stood up and walked around the table to hug her. Then she pouted and whispered, as if it was a secret. "I am not really good at writing my name, Mahmen. Maybe I am not very smart..." She paused, and then added. "Don't tell, Daddy. I don't want him to be disappointed."

She frowned and looked at Nalla. "You are very smart! Learning to write takes lots of time and practice and you are doing very well for just beginning to learn. Your daddy already told me how proud he is of you." She turned back toward the table and pulled out a laminated alphabet strip and a piece of paper. Neatly, she wrote Nalla's full name at the top of it then handed it over to her. "In fact, I think you are so smart, that if you practiced every day, I bet by Christmas, you could sign your own name on the cards we send out. How would you like to do that?"

"You really really reaaaaaaaally think so, Mahmen?" She asked, biting her lip with nervous excitement. "I would like that very very much." She sat on her Mahmen's lap and took a pencil. She truly wasn't good at it, but if her Mahmen said she could do it, then she could.
After what seemed like forever, she looked up at her and smiled. "Look! I did the 'L'! Isn't it a pretty 'L'?"

She laughed and looked at the "L" that was more like two lines that didn't touch. "Yes, it's the prettiest "L" ever! Why don't you try drawing it again? And you know, the more letters you can draw, the more words you can learn to write. Like Mahmen or daddy or uncle Rooster or Uncle T..."

Her mouth opened in an "O" and she nodded repeatedly. "I'd like that! Well, Uncle T seems okay, but I will not learn to write uncle Rooster. That's very long and it sounds very hard." She wrote another L and the ugliest N the world had ever seen, but to her they were very pretty. "I am going to give this N to Daddy, Mahmen. But don't tell him I wrote it, we'll make him guess." She giggled.

She kissed the top of her head. "That's a great idea! And you don't have to worry about uncle Rooster just yet. We'll focus on your name first then work on the others. I bet even daddy would like to help."

She smiled and kissed her Mahmen's cheek. "I will ask him when he cames back from..." she paused, trying to remember what was the word. "patron? Uh, yes, from patron." She yawned. "Can I take a nap, Mahmen? Will you come with me?" She snuggled closer to her.

She hugged Nalla then rubbed her back, looking down at her. "Yes. Let's take a nap." Pushing up from the chair, she followed as Nalla climbed up into her bed then settled in beside her. Once they were situated, she played with her hair, till she slowly drifted off to sleep.
Slowly, slipping out of her bed, she went over to the door quietly closing it behind her as she went to back to her event planning.
