I have to tell you something. It's a bit important but nothing to worry about.

Is this about your friend?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

You've met him?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I believe so. His name is Rob Anybody, correct?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Yes that would be him. He's the Big Man, male leader, of the clan of Feegles that live in my land.

I've known him since I was nine.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

We spoke for a few minutes, he seems a bit odd, but nice enough.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

All Feegles are a bit odd. They do their best though....

Though they steal a lot, so if you're missing anything it might be him.

Also I thought I should warn you that you may see him hiding around the house a bit. All the Feegles think it's their duty to watch over me and their version of that usely involves following me around.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well, it's sweet that he wants to look after you, but I'll certainly keep an eye out.

I'll be sure to bring the broom out if he tries anything tricky.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

They're particularly afraid of, what they call...

The foldin' of the arms, the tappn' of the feet and the persin' of the lips. I've gotten them to confess to things just by doing those.

...Oh and if he ever offers you an "explination" for something. It's a lie. They're quite proud of their lies for some reason.

They do mean well, in an odd way. It's mostley because I was their kelda for a while and the fact that I'm the witch of the land. They think they have to look out for me. Usually it's a few of them taking shifts but since Rob's the only one here I doubt he'll be able to watch me all the time.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well I think I can handle the foldin' of the arms, the tappn' of the feet and the persin' of the lips. Living with Howl has practically made me an expert at those.

What exactly is a kelda?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

It's their real leader. The Kelda is in charge of everything in the clan.

They only have one Kelda because females are so rare. They travel to a clan when they're older and marry one of the Feegles there. They have a great many children. Rob is married to the Kelda, Jeannie back home.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

What's the matter?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Do you remember when I first got here I was looking for Feegles? The small blue men.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Yes, quite. Why do you ask?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

One of them has shown up here. His name is Rob Anybody Feegle and he's the bi- leader of his clan back home.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh.

That's good, isn't it?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I'm quite glad to see him.

But I just thought I should give you a warning that you're probably going to be seeing him around a lot.

I was their Kelda, the female in charge of them all, for a short while when I was nine and ever since then they've always kept an eye out for me. Espeically since I'm the witch of the place as well.

Even though it's only Rob here he's most likely going to try to watch out for me around here. If you think someone's watching you, it's probably him. Feegles are very good at hiding.

...Oh and stealing and drinking, so if anything goes missing...

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Stealing?




Drinking?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Yes. They're a rowdy group at times.

[The understatment of the century]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Forbidden.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

He is not to steal or drink while he's around you.

And you can't invite him over to our house for dinner.

[mare-libertas.livejournal.com]

What's up?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Someone from my home arrived here. His name is Rob Anybody.

Do you know what a Feegle is?

[mare-libertas.livejournal.com]

Ummm.....Some kind of beagle mix?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

They're a race of pictsies that live in my world. They're very small blue men.

One of them was brought here and you might see him around. His clan has a tendency to keep an eye on me because I'm the local witch and I was their leader for one point in the past.

The one here is named Rob Anybody. So if you see a small man around here, that's probably him.
