#cherry and algilbert

who: Algilbert ( @algilbertfontaine )

Cherry stared at the screeching doll that was put on the table in front of her and raised an incredulous eyebrow. They’d been told that the thing had been enchanted to cry when it was wet, and would only stop once you’d successfully changed its nappy. Cherry didn’t get the point.

“Excuse me,” she said, before the person handing out the dolls could walk away, “My son is four already, so I don’t see the point of this exercise. I thought this was more of a...discussion or support group?”

“Group talk is after the activity.” The person stated bluntly, before walking away. 

Cherry sighed heavily and shrugged. She got to work, masterfully changing and cleaning the doll in under a minute - she’d changed more than enough nappies in her lifetime. Once the doll became blissfully quiet, Cherry decided to head over to the snack table to busy herself until everyone else was done.

She reached for one of the paper cups at the same time as someone else. She blinked in surprise when her hand brushed against the other man’s, and she hastily pulled it back.

“Sorry,” she said to him, smiling sheepishly, “You go ahead.”
