you’re really considerate, you’re sweet, and you try so hard to be careful all the time.. she should really consider herself lucky.
November 14, 2025 at 7:52 AM
.. it’s hard for me to get a read on her. but if you think she’s doing okay, then she probably is.

you have the qualities of a good mom. i’m sure she’ll turn out just fine.
November 14, 2025 at 7:42 AM
[ even SHE isn’t sure..? wonderful. that’s a question that’ll linger in their mind for a while.. ]

.. doesn’t matter all that much. as long as you’re both doing your part to take care of her.

[ sticking out a finger for pugle.. gently. very, very gently. ]

[ .. it does? it does. it must. battat’s her mom, so it.. they just have to trust her, on.. ]

.. where’d she come from—,? not.. physically, but, who’s.. y’know.
November 14, 2025 at 7:27 AM
[ ban is.. still. the stillest battie’s ever seen her. trying to be as unreactive as possible for the sake of the Literal Baby scooting around nearby. ]

.. is that good—?
November 14, 2025 at 7:18 AM
.. no, it’s probably fine, i’ll just—,

[ .. sitting on the ground. laying, actually. that way, pugle can move around her as she pleases.. and ban can’t drop her. ]
November 14, 2025 at 7:08 AM
[ taking in a sudden deep breath. coughing, violently, like water had just been expelled from their lungs.. ]

ghhhh… fffhhh.. gghhkk. i’m..

.. f ffhh. i’m fffine. thank you.
November 14, 2025 at 7:03 AM
and that’s why i’m sure you’re a lot more suited for it than i am—!!

[ huff.. of course she would be. she’s perfect. ]
November 14, 2025 at 6:54 AM
h. h , h hh hhhhh hh h,,

[ they don’t.. want her to, all things considered. somehow, this is the nicest feeling thing that’s happened to them in years. ]
November 14, 2025 at 6:53 AM
you have experience with being responsible.

.. my history with that isn’t the best. and my hands are shaky when i’m nervous..
November 14, 2025 at 6:46 AM
( .. cupboard—?? )

yeah, but you’re.. you. and i’m me. you make me feel better just by being around. i’m sure it was the same for them too.
November 14, 2025 at 6:41 AM
[ trembling.. fighting the urge to move back again. ]

.. i don’t.. want to drop her, or anything..
November 14, 2025 at 6:34 AM
[ her face goes RED. obviously, it would be sensitive.. wheezing and sputtering at every minuscule stroke. ]

[ ban isn’t people! sure, they look about to collapse.. but whatever mass she’s pulled out that’s acting as their heart isn’t totally NECESSARY for them to function. just.. preferred. ]
November 14, 2025 at 6:22 AM
pPplease
November 14, 2025 at 6:20 AM
n.. no, i’m.. i don’t care if she bites me. i don’t.. i want anything to happen to her. not because of me.
November 14, 2025 at 6:06 AM
[ instinctively, ban backs away a little bit. she ruins everything she touches. she can’t do that to.. pugle. ]

.. i.. i-i see.
November 14, 2025 at 5:57 AM
mnnh.

[ it’s.. almost cute, in a weird way. but if battie thinks it’s important, so do they. ]

.. i’ve never seen anything like this.
