coin locker baby — intro + errands/favors

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

The calico tended to stay far away from children these days as she could, in spite of how many she had been a mother since than she had been convinced that she was no good for young animals expect for keeping danger away. Everything she touched? Die or turned to blackness before she killed it herself. Children didn't need that, no one needed that, no one needed the real her, they just needed the solid steady, selfless, skilled, emotionless guardian she lived as, even her own offspring. Especially her own children. Absolutely convinced of her own ideals, the hunch backed calico just lay there, looking but staying away from the interaction, Bai could keep the child entertained while she kept the two of them safe by sitting here to come between them and danger if it happened.
