[IS THERE BY SOME MIRACLE OF SPACETIME]

[astalavampire]

[WELL THE MIRACLE OF SPACETIME HAD BETTER BE A QUIET MIRACLE. I'VE GOT A SLEEPING TERRAN CHILD HERE.]

[astalavampire]

....What?

[onthenightroad]

...

Heeeey, who's that?

[astalavampire]

[isn't, you know, holding the kid carefully or anything. and CERTAINLY isn't cradling him protectively. don't be stupid.]

Suzaku Kururugi -- deaged camper. He fell asleep on the roof.

[onthenightroad]

IS THAT SO. He's so tiny! And look, he's passed right out... You took him all the way here?

[astalavampire]

[sighs and keeps walking on the way to her room]

I met him yesterday and he asked if he could visit me. Tonight he showed up at my door. I guess it got too late for him or something, because he fell asleep on me.

[onthenightroad]

...he's so cuuuute. You've been babysitting, then? Or...taking care of him? Ahahaha ✯

[astalavampire]

[glares like a glaring thing]

No. He just... seems to want to be around me. Don't think I invited any of this on myself.

[onthenightroad]

I didn't know Asta was so good with children...

[astalavampire]

Shut. Up.

[onthenightroad]

If I had a kid that needed watching over I'd definitely go to you. As long as you wouldn't teach him or her how to break someone's face with a right hook.

[astalavampire]

...What? Me? Why?

[onthenightroad]

Well, if you take care of all of them the same way...
