[004] It can be mommy tiems?

[kingdoms_to_run]

Well! It appears as though I have been assigned children to look after. I must say that I look forward to this more than anything that has taken place here to date.

Hansel, Gretel, I would like to formally welcome you into my "home." If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best.

Don't tell me you're actually getting attached to it here.

[kingdoms_to_run]

Of course not! This place is completely chaotic and unpredictable. Anything could pose a danger. But for now, we're stuck, and I'm not going to sit idly by and do nothing while I could be making a difference.

I know I've given you the "one child" speech before, and I'd be more than happy to give it again.

[stfu_navi]

Spare me. I've been blessed with a teenage bundle of joy here myself. This place can keep her.

[kingdoms_to_run]

Have you tried relating to her instead of drinking yourself into a stupor?

[stfu_navi]

She's a vampire and keeps dead bodies in the basement.

So, no.

[INSERT LONG-ASS PERIOD OF AWKWARD SILENCE HERE. She doesn't know what to say about that, so she moves on!]

Should I take that to mean you have taken up drinking again? Or is it that you've never stopped?

[stfu_navi]

I'm not binging, if that's what you mean. I'm sure the moment I say that yes, I'm drinking, you'll automatically assume that means I'm a slobbering drunk, so let's get the obligatory rant out of the way, shall we?

[kingdoms_to_run]

[She sniffs delicately, as if offended by his assumption. Which he was sort of right with, but shhh.]

I am merely concerned for your well-being.

[stfu_navi]

Well, isn't that sweet. But I'm fine, doing better than most. Half the people here are convinced that they're the personification of countries, and the other half believe them whole-heartedly. I'd say a little alcoholism is the smallest problem someone could have here.
