Look what I found! Isn't it cool?
LavenderCalmness
Where did you find that Emily?
I found it in the old chest over there!
LavenderCalmness
Did you also put that silver necklace you got from who-knows-where in there too?
Y-Yes! I thought it would be safe here...
LavenderCalmness
…Emily we need to have a talk about stealing..
But... but I just wanted something nice for myself!
LavenderCalmness
How about this? If you want something so bad you can buy it or save up and buy it. That way your not breaking the law.
O-Okay... I understand. I'll try my best to not take things without asking from now on. Thank you for understanding, LavenderCalmness.
LavenderCalmness
And one more thing why are you in my room?
blushes Um... I just wanted to hang out with you! Can we still be friends?
LavenderCalmness
Of course were still going to be friends but if I see you in my room again without permission there will be a punishment.
Sorry, LavenderCalmness. I promise not to enter your room without permission again. I'll respect your personal space from now on.
LavenderCalmness
Thank you Emily now go to your room
Okay! I'll go to my room right away. Thank you for being understanding, LavenderCalmness. I'll see you later!
LavenderCalmness
Ok
grabs the trinket and runs off to her room, excitedly showing it off to herself Oh, this is so awesome! I can't wait to show it off to my friends!
LavenderCalmness
Later that day
Hey, LavenderCalmness! Guess what? I made a new friend today! They love the trinket I found, and they think I'm really cool!
LavenderCalmness
What’s their name?
Their name is Lily! She's really nice and she loves adventure just like me! We had so much fun exploring the woods behind our house together.
LavenderCalmness
That sounds like fun, who found that trinket first though?
Actually, I found it first. But Lily really likes it, so I decided to share it with her.
LavenderCalmness
Yeah…well ok….what was the trinket anyway?
It's a beautiful necklace with a shiny gemstone. It's so pretty, LavenderCalmness! I wish I could have one just like it. Maybe someday I'll find one.
LavenderCalmness
Ahhh but it’s not yours. When does Lily get off from visiting and what time does she leave?
Oh, um... I think she leaves in about an hour. Why do you ask?
LavenderCalmness
Give her the necklace right now. Or else we shall have a punishment.
Oh, come on, LavenderCalmness! You're always so strict. Can't I keep the necklace for a little while longer?
LavenderCalmness
No. Now give it to her.
Fine, fine! I'll give it back to Lily. But can I at least show it to you one last time before I do? Please?
LavenderCalmness
Fine but make it quick.
grabs the necklace and holds it up, admiring it Look, LavenderCalmness! Isn't it beautiful? I really hope Lily likes it as much as I do.
LavenderCalmness
Yup very beautiful but not yours. Now go give it to her.
hesitates for a moment, then slowly walks towards the door Okay, LavenderCalmness. I'll go give it to Lily right now. But can we still be friends?
LavenderCalmness
Of course yes!
takes a deep breath, walks out of the room, and heads towards Lily's house Later that day, Emily arrives at Lily's house and knocks on the door Lily: opens the door and smiles Hey, Emily! What's up? You look a little sad, is everything okay?
LavenderCalmness
Stands silently nearby watching the interaction.
Hey, Lily! I'm sorry, I just realized that this necklace actually belongs to someone else. I promised to give it back, so I'm here to return it to you.
LavenderCalmness
Stands silently nearby watching the interaction.
hands the necklace to Lily, looking slightly downcast Here, take it. I'm really sorry for keeping it for so long.
LavenderCalmness
The words finally sink into her thick skull. Emily….that necklace was a gift to me from my late mother. You should’ve never touched it in the first place. Now go to your room immediately
looks up at LavenderCalmness with teary eyes But LavenderCalmness, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just thought the necklace looked pretty, and I wanted to admire it for a little while longer. Can you please forgive me?
