Northstar Vale I Really Want to Go Outside and Stop to See Your Day

Once down on her level, the little Miss had a chance to take a breath and took a look at Cordelia. It was nice to see that despite being a stranger, she had a way about her that didn't scare the young girl. Far too young to form proper words Cordelia had to work out just what had happened. The little one seemed particularly agitated by the rock before her. This display was quite cute but despite a faint smile, Cordelia took in what she was saying with great pretend seriousness. 

The rock wasn't that big and if dug around for a bit would even be moveable. But for such a small individual it must seem quite large. The rock was out in the open and wasn't blocking anything so that wasn't caused for frustration. Perhaps the little one simply didn't like the rock, but then why had she been crying. Maybe she tripped over it or banged against it in some way. Regardless it didn't really matter what the issue was with the rock, the response was all that mattered. 

"Is this rock troubling you Miss?" Cordelia began before turning her attention to the rock in a firm authoritarian voice. "Now listen here rock. You have made this darling young lady cry. What do you have to say for yourself?" she asked the rock in the midst of play and gave a small moment for the rock's response. "Well, that simply won't due. You have been a very bad rock" She took her front paw and lightly hit the top of the rock a few times. "bad" 

Her attention went back to the light pup. "There. This rock shant both you any longer" Cordelia hoped this light but pretend seriousness would at least be some fun for the young girl. It had been something her siblings quite enjoyed. Anytime they had been hurt telling off the inanimate object that had caused them pain usually distracted them enough to forget their hurting.
