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

[ looks at food bag ]

For me? Look at that: kind again.

[ from here ]

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.

_{[ ...his tail swishes as he continues stiffly holding out the brown paper bag. Not a happy swish, or agitated, but... an activated one. ]}

This is in the... 'spirit'... of the goal of food distribution. Your... 'goodness'... is in a less than optimal state. It is more difficult to procure food in such a state. The purpose of food distribution, as a task... is for those who can access and prepare it... to transport it to those who are cannot, or are otherwise occupied.

Is... kindness... still to be considered kindness, when it is a mere byproduct of competent completion of one's tasks...?

[ god. That’s the fucking question, isn’t it? Is doing mediocre things with good intentions better than doing good things simply because you’ve been instructed to? Because you thought you had no other choice? Truly a question they have grappled with for decades.

On the other hand: ]

Hmm. Yep, still counts.

[ what’s in the baaaaag ]

_{[ Word of Mikage:

I'm gonna rule also there's half an apple split by hand in there too. ]}

...I see.

_{[ he definitely doesn't. but he watches attentively as they investigate the bag's contents. ]}

[ all of this is acceptable but Big Crouton is the most exciting. Cronch cronch. ]

So! What else have you learned today?

Many things. Including...

The creation of independent, sapient vessels capable of self-maintenance and perpetuation is considered.... "dumb"... by some parties, due to their capacity for thought. I do not fully understand their reasoning.

Found items in the grass may be taken freely.

The vastness of the ocean can alter the difficulty of problems.

The taste, appearance, and textures of many new food items, including blueberries, apples, soup, and pancakes.

Lizards are... satisfying, but difficult... to attempt to visually replicate.

There are five different kinds of feathers.

That there are a wide variety of different temperaments exhibited by children with souls; human, beastkin, and otherwise.

They will not bite?

Then if you need magic, I'll do it! . . . I dunno the spell you just used yet, but I can learn it!

[ here | start ]

Okay.

[ gets off the chair so he can start looking around for a cup ]

I want water.

[ here ]

What kind of trouble?

[ !!!!!

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 ]

[ here | start ]

Okay!!

[ here | start ]

[ opens up

all the drawers

finally finds a knife and toddles back over with it ]

[ here ]

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

[ here | start ]

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!

[ here ]

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?

[ here | start ]

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.

[ here | start ]

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.

[ here | start ]

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!

[ here ]

That's what a king does!

[ here | start ]

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!
