[Grune sounds as chipper as always when she opens her journal today, but when she addresses the village, it's for a somewhat different reason than usual.] Good morning, everyone! I hope you're all having a very nice day

There are kids that young around here?

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right. Would you like to help look after her, too?

[dun_measure_up]

Ain't never got a problem watching kids, Sugar. But I've been in the bubble for only a few days, so I wasn't thinking of volunteering.

I'm simply...surprised that these people would take children so young, as well. There are some standards that I had assumed would be observed. I was wrong, wasn't I?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, no, Sophie has always lived here.

[dun_measure_up]

Always? This place is more confusing every day.

[She looks so young to be that old.]

[lostinmyway]

Why is it confusing?

[Now she's confused.]

[dun_measure_up]

Well, just never met an immortal toddler before.

[lostinmyway]

...Sophie is immortal?

[Oh, my, she never knew!]

[dun_measure_up]

[Okay, this requires a pause to consider, because Lady, now he is completely lost.]

[lostinmyway]

[Don't pause too long, or you'll lose this one completely.]

[dun_measure_up]

Sugar...didn't you just...

I...

That is to say, Sugar...

What I mean is...

How old is she?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... I think she's three.

[dun_measure_up]

She's certainly cute enough for that.

[lostinmyway]

Isn't she? She's such a sweet girl.

[You should totally babysit her.]

[dun_measure_up]

I'm sure she is, Sugar. Sophie, right?

And what was your name?

[Naturally! Strange werewolves with criminal pasts are the best babysitters, statistically. Also, he won't remember, but it's polite to ask!]

[lostinmyway]

That's right. And my name's Grune! What's your name?

[Hey, one of her regular babysitters is going to be a demon king. Jason here is practically on the straight and narrow.]
