Well alright then, you get into your pajamas and I'll go and get you some nice hot milk. Make sure you brush your teeth before you get into bed, okay?
[And now she's derping off to the kitchen to get you some milk (don't you go ignoring her orders to brush your teeth young man or she'll be cross >:[ ) and she comes back up not long after with a blue mug full of milk.]
[She smiles kindly, walking over to the bed to put the milk down on the nightstand.]
Oh goodness, I know it doesn't seem like there's much point to putting on pajamas for bed, but don't you think it's so much nicer to get into something that's all soft and warm and that you've not been wearing all day? I always think that putting on a clean pair of pajamas and getting into a bed with clean sheets is one of the nicest feelings in the world.
[Fluffs up a pillow for him.]
I'm sorry if I'm fussing. I just haven't had anyone your age to fuss over for quite a long time; my oldest nephew's about your age now, he hates it when I fuss over him too, but you see that's what grown ups in my family do. We look after everyone who's littler than us.
Well then you don't know what you're missing! I'll make a deal with you; you try sleeping in pajamas tonight and then if you don't like them you can sleep in your normal clothes, does that sounds like a good idea to you?
[She sits down at the edge of the bed, smiling.]
I have a very big family; I've got nieces and nephews and cousins and a whole heap of big brothers and sisters, and I grew up in a big noisy house surrounded by people. I was the baby, you know. What about you, do you have any brothers and sisters?
[It's not something she's ever asked him; Wolfwood tends to clam up when she asks him about his past and she hopes that when he's big again she won't mind that she asked him this.]
[At the question he freezes up, unsure on how to go about personal life... He's talked to some people here about it before, but that was a while ago...]
Well she suspected as much, if she's honest, but hearing her fears confirmed certainly makes her heart go out to him. She can't imagine what it must be like growing up without a big noisy family around, and doting relatives at birthdays and Christmases and loud family parties. Poor Mr. Priest.]
Well... I had some people I knew when I was living on the street, but we weren't real close. I don't really have time for that anymore, because I'm training...
I guess so. I liked learning how to do new things I didn't do before. And when I get better, I'm happy, so... I like it okay. [WHAT A SHITTY ANSWER. :^|]

Are you ready for bed?
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
[He flusters a bit, turning just enough to reclaim his pride card.]
What's the point of pajamas, anyway? Sleeping in whatever you're wearing seems fine to me...

Re: September 19th-ish // Action

You had a big family?

I.... uh. I don't have any family.
M'n orphan.

Well I'm very sorry to hear that.
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
Don't worry about it. Didn't need much of a family, anyway. The last guy who tried to raise me did a shitty job, so I like it better being alone.
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
I don't have anyone like that, back home. [Looking at the floor,] I don't need friends, anyway.
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
Turns and looks at him curiously.]
Why don't you have any friends? Are the other children mean to you?
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
[That is a terrible thought. You're a little boy! What about playtime!?]
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
I like working a lot, so I never really went out to play with any of the kids.
Re: September 19th-ish // Action
[Because little boys should always have a whole ton of fun.]
