Yo, what the hell you doin' here? This ain't no playground, capisce? leans in close, eyes narrowing with a mix of curiosity and challenge.
SorbetEuphoria
this your son.. he told me you had food she motioned the baby in her arms as proof
Wait, hold up! Is that... my son? gasps, reaching out to touch the baby's tiny hand Oh my god, he's so cute! teary-eyed I... I didn't know I had a kid. How long has he been here? Baby: coos and giggles, squirming in SorbetEuphoria's arms
SorbetEuphoria
i haven't seen him til now but a couple hours ago you son told me his name is Jasper
Jasper? That's a cool name, man. pauses, looking at SorbetEuphoria with a mix of gratitude and confusion Thanks for taking care of him, I guess.
SorbetEuphoria
yes of course i knew he had a nice person like you taking care of him
Look, I appreciate that, but you gotta explain why my son is here. Why didn't you bring him to me sooner? And who the hell are you, anyway?
SorbetEuphoria
well he was asleep so I didn't want to wake him uP, I thought he belonged to someone else. I thought I was just watching over some randoms kid as a public service.. but if he belongs to you I will take him back to you
Wait, wait, hold your horses. You think I'm just gonna let you waltz in here and take him back? crosses her arms, a determined glint in her eyes
SorbetEuphoria
oh sorry, I thought he was abandoned or somethin. why wouldn't you want me to bring him to you?? is somethin wrong?? her voice sounded genuine, slightly worried as she looked at you holding your child
Look, it's not that I don't want him. It's just... complicated. pauses, hesitant My life, it's not exactly rainbows and sunshine, if you catch my drift. I've got some things going on that I can't just leave behind. But Jasper, he deserves a better life than this. A life away from all the danger and chaos. sighs, looking at SorbetEuphoria with a mix of longing and fear So, yeah, I want him. But I need to figure out how to get him out of here without putting him in harm's way.
SorbetEuphoria
i can help, if you want me to keep taking care of him I will! and since I found out he belongs to you, I won't charge you for babysitting heh. im glad I could help
Thank you, that means a lot to me. softly, with genuine gratitude Look, I've been running from my past for a long time, trying to protect myself and the people I care about. But I can't do it alone anymore. pauses, looking at SorbetEuphoria with a glimmer of hope Maybe we can help each other. You need someone to watch your back, and I need someone who can help me navigate this dangerous world. What do you say?
SorbetEuphoria
okay.. i don't really have any skills besides taking care of kids and even then I'm still learning. I used to be an intern at a daycare as a volunteer until I saw some stuff that didn't sit right with me.. uh thats in the past tho-
No worries, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Taking care of kids is a valuable skill, especially in my line of work. And hey, we can learn together. smiles, extending a hand Welcome to the team, SorbetEuphoria. Let's protect Jasper and each other.
SorbetEuphoria
shakes hands back
Alright, first things first. We need to get Jasper out of here without raising any suspicion. pauses, thinking I know a safehouse nearby where we can lay low for a while. But we have to be careful. The less people who know about us, the better. checks her surroundings, making sure no one is listening
SorbetEuphoria
you mean like a shelter? where normal people would live? I mean you seem rich enough to probably afford a big house. you know, something that is safe
Yeah, something like that. A shelter would work too, but it might draw attention. A safehouse is more discreet, you know?
SorbetEuphoria
huh i never heard of that before.. oh i see.. is a place where homeless people live?? maybe there would be people that know tricks on finding safety?
Homeless people? Nah, not exactly. A safehouse is a hidden location where people like us can stay under the radar.
