clementine!

mmm.. okayy.. night, momo..

[ seems she took that as being allowed to crawl into their lap and curl up all comfy there. ]

can someone keep watch while i sleep..? just for a bit...

soooo sleepy... mm.

[ .......she doesn't even know. probably better for her not to.

she's just.. handing them a small pack of cheese and crackers. it WAS for her, and she is pretty hungry herself, but.. she doesn't mind sharing. ]

..do you like cheese and crackers?

when is it..? 🥺

but momo deserves to have a fun birthday!! you made a cake for mine.. can i make a cake for yours?

why!!

momo birthday..? when?!

want me to show you how to do it?

[ a nervous glance from him to mokou, like she was still waiting for permission.. but if he says it's okay, then it's okay, right?

slowly, hesitantly, she starts to climb up his leg to reach his shoulders. ]

w— whoa.. you really are tall..

// oiuyygghhh. and frisk is so social and friendly to everyone.. mokou has a lottt of people they gotta share their baby with

// ouuuhhh mokou... 🥺 mokouuu 😭

// are they ever gonna get that possessive of clem..

[ ..big smile!! ]

yes, please! ^__^

[ watching mokou climb their brothers. slightly envious. ]

// now imagine both mokou and clem climbing on them and riding on their shoulders...

like the one you showed me? the silly big one?

i wanna sit on lee's shoulders again sometime...

hehe.. they sound like they're giants. have you ever climbed them?

[ squeezing their hand. ]

okay..!! are they super duper tall or something?

okay..

[ promises hold a lot of weight, so she's trusting their word. ]

do you wanna go now?

b.. but i don't wanna use up all of their water..

[ she's used to water being a finite, rare resource. ]

well, you met lee.. so i guess i should meet your family too! okay. ^_^ we can go whenever you want!

momo drew a pretty picture!!!

i wish i could wash my clothes... i smell ☹️

i picked it up earlier..! there's a lot of cool leaves around here and my teacher showed us how to make rubbings of them on paper one time, so i've been doing that a lot lately.

[ pulling a sheet of paper out from her bag with one of said leaf rubbings on it. it's a bit messy.. ]

see? ^_^

hm..? what's funny?

i like those colors..! pink is my favorite. ^_^

[ a leaf is grabbed from her backpack and held up to her nose with a big, silly smile. ]

now we match! um, kind of..

// remember i can always be more evil. hold on
