It's alright. They won't hurt you.

[ looks at food bag ]

For me? Look at that: kind again.

Hmm, sounds important.

[ They wonder only briefly if that could help them or not, but stealing the TOXICITY PREVENTION GEM FROM A BABY is straight up out of the question so moot point really. ]

Better hold onto it. I'll be more careful with my magic until I have one too.

[ !!!!!

only very briefly flustered—this makes sense, she's a carnivore so she wouldn't be afraid of him, would she? so he easily holds her hand too, toddling behind ]

'Cause that's what happens to things that are squeezed! I never got squeezed before but I've seen other things get squeezed!

Most people're too scared of me t'touch my head!!!

[ said mostly in awe—it is an accepted fact of his life that people simply do not express physical affection, as sure as the sky is blue, so this new experience is both confusing and a delight ]

Only Baba 'n Kaka do it! And Kifaji sometimes, but he never mess—musses my hair!

Ohh . . .

'm too small to go in the ocean . . .

[ frown ]

Uhmmm. There are ponds nearby. I could put you over there while we get an adult to help?

Roaring is how lions talk! You could learn it if you studied, y'know. Maybe your human vocal cords couldn't make the same sounds, but at least you could understand.

I think you're onto something about the animal fibers. Collars like that are only for domesticated animals . . . so most of us might be here t'be harvested from.

baby aides

So it's okay! When I get home I'll tell Baba about the nice people that helped—

[ pause ]

—oh, but I won't say anything about meeting you 'cause it's a secret!

Alchemy, potionology, astrology, practical magics, musicology—oh! And I have my signature spell, too!

When I'm finished with my current curses and hexes book, I'm gonna learn protection magic!

He's a biiiiiiig dummy who shows everything on his face! Kifaji says he's too honest. But he's the nicest brother in the world!

[ chirped cheerily ]

Everyone loves him. I do too! He's bad at studying and he has dull senses and he doesn't have a lot of magic but he's reaaaally big and strong and kind! He can make anyone smile, even crying babies!

And he's really bad at chess! I beat him every time!
