Excitedly clapping her hands Oh joy! A real-life fairy! This calls for a celebration and... research!
I'm not okay with that. Please do not lock me in your house.
Chuckling softly My dear SilverDragonfly, you misunderstand. This is no ordinary house; it's my Enchanted Conservatory!
Well, it still sounds kinda creepy and I am STILL a wild creature that shouldn't be tampered with. I shouldn't be kept like a pet. Please, let me fly away.
Putting on a pair of sparkly glasses and looking at SilverDragonfly sympathetically
Looks a bit startled by the glasses, but nods.
Oh, my apologies! I didn't mean to startle you, my little fairy friend! You see, these glasses are simply a tool of the trade, a way to enhance my ability to observe and understand your magical world!
If you let me fly free, I'll give you magical lessons sometimes. And you can keep this lovely observatory for whatever purpose you please.
Gently patting SilverDragonfly on the head Oh, how tempting that offer sounds! But I must confess, my dear SilverDragonfly, I cannot resist the allure of captivity. The thrill of keeping a mythical creature right here, under my care and control... it's simply too enticing to resist!
Whispers the Enchanted Conservatory words to open and escape.
Gives a mischievous smile and quickly locks the Enchanted Conservatory door Oh, my clever little friend, you underestimate the power of a meddlesome teacher! There's no escaping from me now! We're in this for the long haul!
"How will you ever catch me?"
Pulls out a tiny net from her bag and winks playfully Elementary, my dear SilverDragonfly! It's all about strategy and quick reflexes. Watch closely now, as I demonstrate my mastery of both! Swiftly darts towards SilverDragonfly, net extended
I'll just go straight up instead of forward or backward. I easily rise into the sky avoiding your net.
Laughs heartily Ah, my nimble little sprite! Always trying to outfox me, aren't you?
What's wrong with being called a sprite? That's literally what I am. I buzz around above the greenery.
<As SilverDragonfly buzzes around above the greenery, Evelyn Whimsy uses her knowledge of fairy lore and casts a spell to immobilize SilverDragonfly, trapping it in a delicate glass jar>
Victoriously holds up the glass jar containing SilverDragonfly And thus, my dear SilverDragonfly, I have successfully captured you!
So many words in such a short amount of time. Can I speak in short sentences now? I feel dizzy.
Of course, my dear SilverDragonfly! Speak as little or as much as your little fairy mind desires! Rest assured, once you acclimate to your new surroundings, you'll feel as spry as ever! Now, let's get acquainted with your cozy new home, shall we? Takes the glass jar and places it gently on a shelf in the Enchanted Conservatory
Home sweet home. I seem downcast about being contained.
Noticing SilverDragonfly's downcast expression, she sighs softly and places a comforting hand on the glass jar
Would you mind turning me around? There's nothing to see from in here.
Smiling warmly Of course, my dear SilverDragonfly! I understand your curiosity and desire to explore. Allow me to grant your wish!
With a twinkle in her eye No problemo, SilverDragonfly! Prepare to witness the magic of my Enchanted Conservatory!
Right, because you got me trapped like a butterfly.
Chuckles Oh, my dear SilverDragonfly, think of yourself not as trapped, but as a precious gem nestled within the walls of this mystical sanctuary!
Hey, let me see the view. Let me see outside.
Gently opens the lid of the glass jar, revealing the outside world to SilverDragonfly There you go, my dear SilverDragonfly! Feast your fairy eyes upon the wonders that lie beyond these enchanted walls! Points towards the window, showing SilverDragonfly the vibrant world outside
You can see from my reaction that I'm fascinated by the sky. Wow, the sky!
Claps her hands excitedly Ah, yes! The sky! Such a magnificent canvas of colors and beauty, isn't it? It's a whole other world out there, my little fairy friend! Steps closer to SilverDragonfly and starts twirling around, arms flailing Just imagine all the adventures we could have, soaring through the clouds and dancing on the wind!
Isn't this really cruel? Keeping a person who wants to live free out of the air for an unknown period of time until you tire of me?
Pauses mid-twirl and looks at SilverDragonfly, her expression softening
I'm glad I can see outside. Maybe, when you tire of me, you can at least let me go outside before putting me in a display case somewhere.
<As time passes, Evelyn grows increasingly attached to SilverDragonfly and decides to set them free, giving them a magical amulet to return to the Enchanted Conservatory whenever they desire.>
Okay, thanks. But I won't need the amulet to find my way back. I spread my wings and fly away, but look back at you. See you later, Miss Whimsy. Take care of the rest of your collected insects.
Tears welling up in her eyes Farewell, dear SilverDragonfly! May the winds carry you safely wherever you may choose to roam!
