[Yuca is smiling, humming a quaint little children's song to himself while he gently pulls the sewing needle through a shirt that can be recognized as the overlarge one that Rain had been wearing upon his arrival. It looks significantly smaller now, possibly even the correct size.]

But you're not going to be enough to protect him. Where are you even living?

This Rain, or his future self? I'd have no interest in the child regardless, assuming he's normal. And the later case doesn't matter if he's not here.

Good morning, Rain! I fixed your shirt for you. [He holds it up- it's not quite done, but it's getting there.] I just have to sew up the right side and it should fit you much better.

B-but I was supposed to grow into it. Sister said I was liable to 'shoot up like a bean sprout' and that it was wasteful to find me something smaller when I'd fit in it soon enough.

Well- in Adstring, nobody really... ages. Or shoots up, bean sprout or otherwise. So it'll fit you nicely for as long as you're here?
[He looks and feels guilty and realizes that, hey, he probably should have talked to Rain first.]
