Title: Perfect Moment Rating: G Word Count: 105 Card: Summer Bingo: (Outdoors + Family + Summer + Lazy Afternoon + Heat) Summary: Midday on the roof. Is there any other possible answer to this prompt? Rosethorn's POV
Bells tolled cheerfully in the distance, bouncing through the air in musical waves. Rosethorn glanced at the roof; sure enough, there her four children reclined, limbs sprawled as though attempting to soak up more of the withering summer heat. Even from her garden, Rosethorn could see the straw dangling from Briar's mouth.
Just a few minutes more, Rosethorn decided. She would let him have just one lazy afternoon, to treasure later while he weeded to keep his muscles strong and ear intact.
They were speaking wordlessly, she soon realized, as the other three burst into laughter; a perfect moment of understanding.
Now? Yes, now.
"Boy!"

There is ONLY ONE RESPONSE. And you beat me to it. *grin*
Your Rosethorn voice is impeccable.

Thanks! Well, Rosethorn's one of those characters who has such a distinct voice you either get it, or hide the fic away in shame. *Eyes unposted stories*
But you know you have to do a Speculation-verse one when the other children are lounging on the roof, too, Kit!

LOL! This is so classic Rosethorn. I also love the image of the four of them communicating wordlessly.

Rosethorn: not out to torment the children, except when she is. Only teasingly, of course.

Ahh, I adore the glimpse of what it must be like on the outside of their mind-speaking. This really is perfect, and it's the perfect prompt-response. *loves*

Oh, this is so Rosethorn! And I like how she can tell they're speaking mind-to-mind, even when they're all the way up on the roof.

I think my favourite part was that you made her think of them as 'her' children. Loved this.
