Then you're probably are going to watch him the whole time. Maybe you'll be lucky and he'll nap.

That's good. Maybe he'll Develope early.

[snikette]

I still do not think I am the appropriate choice for Shogo's sitter. What if I hurt him?

[ and there it is. what this is really about. ]

[hellion_king]

You're not going to hurt him. You're a protector, Laura. You took great care of the Richard's kids, you'll do fine with the baby.

[At least those kids didn't get hurt. Same couldn't be said for Julian.]

[snikette]

[ a;ldkfa;lkjd don't bring that up! ]

Valeria and Franklin were not babies. This is different, Julian.

[hellion_king]

Hell it's going to be easier because this kid isn't going to accidently shoot you into space. Sing him a lullaby, feed him , make sure he's clean and don't drop him on his head. Easy peasy.

[snikette]

I do not know any lullabies and Jubilee has not yet shown me how to change diapers.

I am not sure I want her to …

[ her nose is way too sensitive for dirty nappies, okay? ]

I could read to him, though. It is what my mother used to do with me.

[hellion_king]

Hold on, I'm sending you an email with links to some lullabies on YouTube. Some video tutorials for childcare too. Watch them, you might feel a little more prepared.

She did?

[A pause.]

I never knew that.

[snikette]

Okay. Thank you.

[ #friendship ]

Yes. She was not supposed to, but she did anyway.

[hellion_king]

No problem. Here, this should be helpful.

[#trying]

That's really brave of her. What did she read you?

[snikette]

I will look at it now.

[ see, this is the version of you that she has/had(?) a disgusting crush on. ]

Pinocchio. Have you ever read it?

[hellion_king]

[Hey man, PTSD effect people in different ways. It made him an angry shit.]

Nah, I think I've seen a little of the cartoon? My mom wasn't much of the reading to us type.

[snikette]

“Us”?

[ wow, they sure are learning a lot of new things about each other. ]

[hellion_king]

Yeah, my older brother. James. He's like, seven years older than me. The Keller clans golden child.

[They are, looks like talking actually works.]

[snikette]

I did not know you have a brother.

Is he a mutant too?

[ it's deeply unlikely, given the information she has, but laura decides to ask anyway for curiosity's sake. ]

[hellion_king]

I guess I don't talk about him much. We were never close. Haven't spoke to him in years.

Nah, part of the reason he's the golden child.

[snikette]

I am sorry.

[ don't worry, jules, at least you'll always be her favourite keller. ]

[hellion_king]

Not your fault. The Keller Clan kicked me out for a reason.

[Thats good, though Laura would likely want to stab his family. They were dicks.]

Feeling a bit more prepared for babysitting?

[snikette]

They were wrong.

[ stabbing would 99.9% be a thing. ]

I am not sure. Doing a good job is important to me. I do not want to lose Jubilee's trust.

[hellion_king]

Sure.

[Julian still knows her pretty well.]

you're not going to. She wouldn't of asked you in the first place if she didn't think you could handle it. Take a deep breath, you are gonna be fine.

[snikette]

What are your plans for tonight?

[ hinting or making conversation — with laura, it's hard to tell. ]

[hellion_king]

I think I was just going to hang out, play some video games maybe.

[snikette]

Okay.

[ so much for talking. ]

[hellion_king]

[ That was weird.]

... something wrong?

[snikette]

No.

[ what? it's not exactly a lie. ]

I wanted to ask you a question, but you answered it before I could.

[hellion_king]

What was the question?
