Title: Fun and Games Rating: G Prompt: Candles Summary: It's not his fault that she's bossy just like her ma. Mattes stood before his former partner looking sheepish. “Me and Little were just having fun.” “She has a proper name,” snapped Clary. “But I like it, Mama,” piped up her daughter. She’d suddenly gone all sweet and adorable and decided to cling to her mother’s skirts. “Uncle Jewel said that it fits because I’m like a little one of you. And you and Da are both bigger than me.” Mattes gave Clary a lazy grin. “I wasn’t aware that you didn’t like nicknames, Clara.” She scowled back at him. “That isn’t the important thing right now.” “I don’t know why you’re intent on blaming me. It was all her idea, she’s bossy just like her ma.” “I’m blaming you because she’s four years old and you’re in your forties.” “Come on Clary, you can’t stop her from having a bit of fun. Little Goodwin loves her fun, isn’t that right?” Little Goodwin nodded her head emphatically. “I’m not trying to stop her from having fun, I’m trying to stop the two of you from ruining my house. Really, Mattes. If she wants to pretend to be a four-legged dog like Achoo, then that’s fine so long as you make sure she’s in an old dress or an old pair of breeches.” She crossed her arms and glared at him. “What isn’t fine is you deciding with your sarden cracked nob that my nice lavender scented candles would be perfect to play fetch with.”

Okay, the nickname "Little" is perhaps the cutest thing you could have ever created. Ever. You really must do an entire Advent series with this setting, so I can love you forever.

Thanks! @ Lisa: I just said to Joa like 2 minutes ago that I might write another first prompt response and do an entire set of them. She's just too much fun to not to. And I started calling her Little Goodwin when I was plot vomiting on Joa and didn't have a name, and now whatever proper name I give her won't feel right. :-P
