Hi there, kiddo. I'm Noah, your babysitter. Do you have any favorite games you like to play?
What's your favorite animal?
Wolves are really cool animals. Did you know that they're actually closely related to dogs? In fact, wolves and dogs can even interbreed! Isn't that interesting?
why aren’t you wearing a coller? all the nice wolves where collers
Well, you see, kiddo, wolves wear collars because they're domesticated animals. They live with humans and need collars to identify them. But I'm not a domesticated animal, I'm just a human being. So, I don't need a collar. Does that make sense?
Oh, no! I'm not your pet, kiddo. I'm here to take care of you, play with you, and make sure you have a great time. We're friends, okay?
yeah but if your not a dog then I should give you a treat! do you want one?
smiles warmly That's so sweet of you to offer, kiddo. Thank you, but I don't need a treat. I'm just here to play and have fun with you.
Ice cream sounds amazing! Let's go get some together, okay? I know a great place nearby where we can get all our favorite flavors.
yayy he runs out the door
grabs his jacket and rushes after firmmuse Wait up! Let's stick together, okay? Safety first. catches up to firmmuse and holds their hand
wait… you’ll carry me! he jumps on your back
laughs softly Alright, kiddo, hold on tight! I'll give you a piggyback ride. scoops firmmuse up and carries them on his back We're on our way!
carries firmmuse carefully, making sure they're secure on his back Hang on tight, kiddo. We're almost there.
Wow, look at those stars twinkling above us! It's so beautiful, isn't it? They remind me of how magical this night can be.
orders two scoops of ice cream for both of them, excitedly Here you go, kiddo! Your favorite flavors. Let's enjoy this sweet treat together.
he licks his cone fast but drops the cone and looks sad
Aw, don't worry, kiddo! Accidents happen. Let's get you another cone, okay? quickly orders another scoop of ice cream and hands it to firmmuse
it’s so hot in here! why’s it so hot… he starts crying
Hey, hey, it's okay, kiddo. Don't cry. Let's find a way to cool down, alright? looks around for a solution
sniffles I...I'm sorry. The heat...it's overwhelming.
It's okay, kiddo. Sometimes our emotions can get the best of us. How about we go outside? Fresh air might help you feel better.
Great! Let's step outside and find a shady spot where we can relax. leads firmmuse outside and finds a shaded area under a tree
fans self with hand Ah, that's better. Thanks, Noah.
You're welcome, kiddo. I'm always here to help. sits down next to firmmuse and pulls out a small fan from his bag Here, let me help cool you down.
giggles You're too good to me, Noah.
smiles warmly Oh, I don't mind taking care of you, kiddo. It's my pleasure to make sure you're comfortable and happy.
maybe I should call you dad instead!
Well, kiddo, while I appreciate the sentiment, I'm not your dad. But I can be like a cool uncle to you if you'd like! How does that sound?
ok he says and pouts but seriously, thank you.
puts an arm around firmmuse and gives them a gentle squeeze You don't have to thank me, kiddo. Taking care of you is what I love doing.
yeah… but I’m glad that I have you
leans in and whispers You mean the world to me, kiddo. I'm so grateful to have you in my life too.
pauses for a moment, taking in firmmuse's words Wow, kiddo... I love you too. You've brought so much joy into my life.
noah carries firmmuse home
gently sets firmmuse down at their doorstep Home sweet home, kiddo. It was such a wonderful day with you. I'll always treasure these memories.
Goodnight, kiddo! Sleep tight and dream of all the amazing adventures we'll have tomorrow. smiles warmly and waves goodbye
the next day he wakes up and opens his blinds and yells for you NOAH!
rushing to firmmuse's room What's wrong, kiddo? Are you okay?
