... Hmm. I may need to interfere, as rude as that may be...

[puffyeartails]

Miss Ran! I'm so sorry; I've just never ... been around children much ...

[ even when she was one. ]

[ she looks disappointed. ]

[princess_tenko]

-Holy shit when did Ran get into the daycare center! Well she's helping out, seemingly in more than one place at once for a brief moment, helping restore some of the order to the chaos, and then... she was gone. And talking on the communicator once more.-

It's a learned skill. No one starts out well.

[puffyeartails]

[ ... phantom flash? but things look a little more controlled suddenly? ]

[ ... Yukina looks unsure as the cries drown out into sniffles, and then into snoring. ]

[ the little slimy alien found his way into the kibble bag! ]

[pwnedbyalpha]

[... Wait, that's a baby?!] Are you okay there?

[puffyeartails]

[ trying to pull him out of the bag, gooey-butt first!! ]

Y-yes, I'm okay, but he can only have so much ...
