Jude stared down at the boots, still frightened. "Y-y-you... boot things..." She bit her lip and curiosity getting the better of her, she edged foreward, holding the pointed end of the poker out before her and downwards towards the boots. Still shaking like a leaf, Jude inched ever closer to the boots, bare feet silent on the wooden floor. She was scared, yes, but she was also curious. Was this some kind of new magic? And obviously, if the boots were retreating, they were scared enough of the poker to do so.<br/><br/>Hugging her blanket more firmly around herself, Jude brought herself up to her full height and kept a firm hold on the poker. "N-n-now... if you don't h-hurt me, I w-won't hurt you, ok?" As she got closer, she glanced over to the photos on the wall by the stove, caught sight of her sister, and took a deep breath. Feeling brave, she moved so she was about a two feet away from the boots. "I'm g-going to put this d-down..." She slowly crouched down and set the poker on the floor behind herself. "D-don't you go getting any ideas though." She rose again, staring down at the boots still. "Now. W-what are y-you?"
