Little Moments

Chapter 6: Playing Around

M'ren is at his worktable. It's late, late enough that even Minion's gone to bed. He yawns, mouth stretching too wide, and sets down his tools.

He should go to bed. That's how late it is, how tired he is, that even the excitement of a new invention can't quite keep him going.

He tries to stand up, but he stumbles a little, sending his new chair spinning backwards. Oh, he didn't know office chairs could do that?

He sits for a second, letting the thing stop, and contemplates it quietly. The he grins, mouth stretching too wide, and kicks at the ground to send him spinning across the room.

Minion wakes to the sound of laughter. He startles when Sir spins past him on the office chair they stole. It's too early for this, and Sir's bed is still made. "Sir, did you get any sleep last night?"

"How can I sleep, Minyon?" He spins the chair faster, only to jump off it in a move that makes Minion gasp with worry. He lands nimbly, arms held out dramatically. "There's too much fun to be had!"

(Minion almost gets rid of the chair, but Sir takes to sleeping in it after wearing himself out playing around, so he decides it can stay.)
