Notes: Liir's a little older than he was in the previous oneshot, probably about 4 or 5 (as I'd imagined him about 2 in the other one.)

'Look! Mama!' Liir cried out, holding a slightly rumpled piece of paper to Elphaba as he ran towards her. 'I drew us at school today!'
Then, after he skidded to a halt at her feet and held it out to her, she took it in one hand.
Elphaba's eyes scanned across it -- surveying the line-up of a few mishappen person adjacent blobs, a tree, an off centre square house, and what appeared to be a sun in the top left corner -- for a few seconds before she smiled.
'Wow!' Elphaba complimented, ruffling Liir's hair. 'I bet you're going to be a really famous artist one day.'
'Yay!' Liir giggled.
'Now, do you want to go and put it on the fridge, bud?'
Liir nodded enthusiastically and yoinked the paper from Elphaba's hand. He then toddled away, towards the kitchen.
'I have one question.' Elphaba asked, looking at Fiyero and (Y/N) once Liir had disappeared from the room.
(You'd been sitting on the couch with Fiyero, watching as Liir coloured wildly on yet another piece of paper. Clearly Glinda's lesson today had unlocked something in him.)
'What is it?' You questioned, waving her over.
'Why am I green?' Elphaba asked, after she'd sat down by Fiyero.
'We ran out of brown paint.' (Y/N) explained.
'Yeah, somehow, it ended up all over my clothes.' Fiyero laughed, taking Elphaba's hand in his. 'Although you can probably see that. They sure are a rambunctious lot of preschoolers.'
'Even with the apron?' Elphaba asked. 'You know, the one I expressly asked you to bring?'
'I may have forgotten.' Fiyero muttered, sheepishly.
'Wow, we'd never be able to tell.' You muttered, sarcastically.
'Hey! I heard that!'
'Yup. That was the idea.' You teased, smiling.
Fiyero simply poked his tongue out at you in response.
'Still, it's better than him painting the walls. Isn't it?' Elphaba murmured, opting to ignore your childish behaviour.
'Uh, about that..'
