*Penny is down in the bar. She can't sleep. Come talk, or read her a bedtime story or something. She would appreciate it.*

"Aww, Penny," Gil sits beside her, hooves tucked up and puts an arm around her shoulders. "Want to share my cocoa? It's everso good, I melt proper chocolate into it add a little Kahlua and whip it up well with some cream. In fact," he grins, "it's less cocoa than a total chocolate experience."

"Hey, Basil," Gil hails a rat, "another mug and the cocoa jug please sweetie."

The rat scampers off.

"So why so wakeful? Have you got worries to tell your Uncle Gil?"

By the time he finishes the question the rat is back and he pours the cocoa with a smile.

Gil bites his lip and looks at her through his eyelashes. "Hmm, that strikes me as being awfully sad. Would Ares object to you getting a teddy? I mean I'd offer to warm it for you myself but upsetting Ares would be almost as distressing for me as upsetting Sooty. Gods are so sensitive."

[ooc: sadly I have to go to work now - be back in a few hours if you want to continue, otherwise feel free to wrap the thread]

"Very cute," Gil agrees. "And a teddy can be quite a comfort. I remember mine very well - I often wonder what happened to him."

He looks at her thoughtfully and nods. the bar is only a few paces away and yields an number of bar towels and Gil sits down and draws his wand.

"Brown bear, koala or panda?" he asks

"Ri-ight," Gil says and directs his wand at the bundle of towels.

"Tranfiguratium ursus antipodeatio snugglumdormis," he says, making all the appropriate wand gestures.

The towels vibrate for a moment then blossom into a pile of soft grey fur with white ears and a little black nose.

"Er - there you go," Gil lifts it and places it in Penny's lap. He smiles at her hopefully.

"My pleasure," Gil says, getting up with a smile. "Now, I had better leave you and the cocoa and your new friend to get aquainted while I go to make a start on the early breakfasts. Sleep well, Penny-love."
