@basin-bella
I got Reen to agree to come over for dinner.
@in-vin-cible
Great! Is there any food he's particularly fond of that we could make for him?
*shakes head* He'll eat anything. We didn't have favorites.
Alright then, we'll just have to make your favorite, *flashes her a grin* chalk!

*squints at her* How do you keep getting in here?
*she smiles* What can I say? I got moxie.
That's not- *sighs* Is there something you need that you couldn't knock on the door for like a normal person?
*grins* What, are you not happy to see me? Fine, you want business? I heard that a few of our intel sources just got shut down.
I'm delighted. This is delight.
*he nods* I figured it must have been the insurance. The timing is too perfect.
Yes, I thought the same when I stopped receiving reports from them. Any idea how they found out about them?

friend bella is parent! babies difficult :( chasmfiend need advice!
@the-ominous-chasmfiend
Oh, of course, Chasmfiend! What's wrong?
babies hitting each other!! say is ok because no blood but can get hurt without blood!! no hitting!!!!! why babies want hit each other??
Ah, street kids, are they? Sometimes kids hit each other a little bit when they play. It teaches them how to handle that sort of thing when they've got to experience it a little more forcefully.
Kids learn a lot of things through play. Defending themselves is one of them. You just have to make sure nothing goes too far, and they're being safe about it.
But you're right, blood is not the line. Bones can get broken without bleeding.
no!! no hitting!!! no need learn how defend self! have parent now!! chasmfiend look after! keep safe!!!!
can babies break other baby's bones????????? how would know if babies break bones???
You ever play fight, Chasmfiend? Roll around in the dirt with a friend? It's all in good fun, right?
Besides, wouldn't you want them to be able to protect yourself in case the ever need it when you're not around?
Breaking bones is usually pretty obvious. It tends to hurt real bad and sometimes you can feel the break through the skin or in the way it moves.
If that happens, y'gotta keep it still and get 'em to a doctor... or here. That's better, these days, actually.
But I wouldn't worry too much! These kids of yours probably know where the line is. If not, that's what you're there for!
cannot remember... chasmfiend too big to play fight without squishing friends... before that was windspren. could not touch things! before that.... not remember what was...
....maybe should keep babies in nest so will be safe even when chasmfiend not around. or move out of city. tower on roshar much safe!! no danger!
will worry!! have worry!!! is parent job to worry!!!! :(
Oh, I didn't know you used to be other things! That's so interesting!
*smiles* Oh, I feel that, Chasmfiend. I worry too. But you're wrong. It's not a parent's job to worry. It's a parent's job to love and protect their children and help them grow and flourish!
Children can't flourish if you lock them away, no matter how nice it might sound to you and I. They have to be free to experience the world!
chasmfiend can be anything!! could be different thing again too but then could not do again after without losing memory of friends. not want forget friends! chasmfiend love friends!!!
no understand! how can protect babies if not keep close??
Well I think this form is just marvelous!
By teaching them to handle anything life might throw at them, and keep a close watch while they're still learning.
You can't always expect to be around when they might need you, so it's better and more enriching for them if they learn themselves!
Kids are strong and capable just like the rest of us, you've just gotta let them realize that.
thank!!! chasmfiend much proud of!!! made all by self :)
hmm.... if friend bella say is good for baby..... chasmfiend still no like though. wish babies liked nicer games!!
babies not strong?? babies squishy! tiny!! lots lots tiny!!!!
Then teach them nicer games! Nothing that says you can't!
Of course babies are strong! Yeah they squish, but then they bounce back for you to squish 'em again! They're very resilient! Sometimes, I think babies are stronger than adults!

*sits next to her*
@in-vin-cible
Heya, little knife. How're you doing?
*startles, blinking*
*looks concerned* You okay?
*nods* Wasnāt expecting that.
*relaxes a little but looks confused* Expecting what?
Little knife.
Oh, I'm sorry, do you not like that nickname?
*shrugs, looking away*
*puts a hand on her shoulder* Hey, it's alright. I won't call you that if it makes you uncomfortable. It's just... well, I tend to have nicknames for my kids and...
...would it offend you if I told you I think of you like another daughter?
*goes rigid, blinking back tears*
Rusts... I know you're an adult, Vin, ...and I've not known you all that long. I'm sorry...
*suddenly hugs her*
*sits there in surprise for a moment before hugging her back*
*clinging to her*
*laughs slightly* What's this for, girl? Did I say something?
*just hugs her, crying softly*
*rubs her back and holds her*
*curls into her until her breathing starts to steady*
*pets her hair gently* It's okay. We're always here for you, you know that? Whether you want to talk or just sit in silence.
*very softly* Bella?
Yes?
*tensing, a hint of fear in her voice* Can I bring Reen over sometime?
*smiles* Sure, honey! Of course!
I wonāt let him hurt any of you. If he causes problems, Iāll throw him out.
*gently* I'm sure it won't come to that.
I- I went to his place. I saw how heās living. Itās barely better than when we lived in the slums. Iām not letting him raise my sister like that.
I'm sorry... some places in this city just aren't fit for people, let alone children. If he ever needs a place to stay, I'm sure we could make room somewhere.
He wonāt listen to that. He thinks itās fine. Heās never known anything else and anything new scares him.
Change can be tough. In time, I'm sure he'll adjust. So long as he has people waiting to help him when he's ready.
I want him to see something different.
Oh, what's that?
This. Your children arenāt scared. They have fun and are loud and learn things and- Iāve never seen them flinch around you. They donāt have to hide.
Oh, honey... We love each other. We could hardly help but do anything else.
I didnāt believe Kelsier at first when he said Marsh had never beat him. Thatās just how life was.
It shouldn't be. It should never have been.
I thought itād be fine if Reen promised not to beat her, but- I never really saw what a family could be until now.
Then you'll just have to teach him! It's hard to resist a love that is freely given!
It took me a while. I just kept waiting for it to be taken away.
*smiles* Yes, but you're stubborn! Besides, it can't be taken away. It just... is.
*sniffs*
Y'alright?
*small nod*
*smiles* Maybe I'll just start siccing children on you when you get looks like that. It's hard to think too hard when you've got a child climbing on you!
*faint smile*
*ruffles her hair with a grin*

I- I went to his place. I saw how heās living. Itās barely better than when we lived in the slums. Iām not letting him raise my sister like that.
I'm sorry... some places in this city just aren't fit for people, let alone children. If he ever needs a place to stay, I'm sure we could make room somewhere.
He wonāt listen to that. He thinks itās fine. Heās never known anything else and anything new scares him.
Change can be tough. In time, I'm sure he'll adjust. So long as he has people waiting to help him when he's ready.
I want him to see something different.
Oh, what's that?
This. Your children arenāt scared. They have fun and are loud and learn things and- Iāve never seen them flinch around you. They donāt have to hide.
Oh, honey... We love each other. We could hardly help but do anything else.
I didnāt believe Kelsier at first when he said Marsh had never beat him. Thatās just how life was.
It shouldn't be. It should never have been.
*sits next to her*
@in-vin-cible
Heya, little knife. How're you doing?
*startles, blinking*
*looks concerned* You okay?
*nods* Wasnāt expecting that.
*relaxes a little but looks confused* Expecting what?
Little knife.
Oh, I'm sorry, do you not like that nickname?
*shrugs, looking away*
*puts a hand on her shoulder* Hey, it's alright. I won't call you that if it makes you uncomfortable. It's just... well, I tend to have nicknames for my kids and...
...would it offend you if I told you I think of you like another daughter?
*goes rigid, blinking back tears*
Rusts... I know you're an adult, Vin, ...and I've not known you all that long. I'm sorry...
*suddenly hugs her*
*sits there in surprise for a moment before hugging her back*
*clinging to her*
*laughs slightly* What's this for, girl? Did I say something?
*just hugs her, crying softly*
*rubs her back and holds her*
*curls into her until her breathing starts to steady*
*pets her hair gently* It's okay. We're always here for you, you know that? Whether you want to talk or just sit in silence.
*very softly* Bella?
Yes?
*tensing, a hint of fear in her voice* Can I bring Reen over sometime?
*smiles* Sure, honey! Of course!
