Trinket turned towards the approaching woman. She might have smiled at seeing a familiar face. But she didn't. She merely watched the woman, curious as to what brought her here.
She held her doll against her chest with one arm. When the woman moved closer, Trinket looked up, unblinking, into the woman's eyes.
"Do you want to play another game?" she asked by way of greeting. This woman had been fun to play with. The rainbow road had been boring before she turned up. But maybe they could play together and make things more interesting.
She stood silent, awaiting the woman's response. Not a single muscle in her body moved, not a single twitch touched her face. She simply stood as still and silent as a doll, her pale skin nearly matching the porcelain face of the doll she held.
If the doll moved, it was so subtle as to nearly miss it. But it, too, stared at the woman, its glassy black eyes a match for Trinket's own.
Both waited, girl and doll, ready to find a new game to play.
