[The camera tumbles and flips as the communicator clatters to the ground, and the audio immediately cuts in with a high pitched noise that might raise alarms immediately, until, as a small child with ridiculously curly hair and a cherub face comes into view, the sound is then identifiable as laughter. A black dog that is far larger than the child smothers his face with kisses while he giggles and tries in vain to push her off.]

(ooc: Spam is welcome, as the door to his cabin is probably ajar. The Marquis is affected. Most you need to know is he's five-ish, cute as a button, and given to tiny bouts of violate rage when other kids still his toys.)

[Oh, that's going to be a problem, until she remembers she can ask for things now, and maybe, since this is reasonable, get them. But that poses its own set of problems, unless she's discreet about it.] Could be in another room. You watch Renate, I'll look around.

[It takes Lua a second, but he can't be used to doing this on his own. Maybe the boy-that-was is too young, maybe too rich, so she crouches down and starts slipping on shoes and stockings, trying to be careful with his feet.] You did a good job with her.

I did? [Asked with a high, excited inflection, which just goes to show he's still very much at an age where he eats up praise like candy.]

She was good, and she's yours. [A hand to help Donatien down, and she keeps him close to her as they get up. He's fine on his own as an adult, but she can already tell he trusts strange people a little too much.]

You walk out, she'll go right with you. You ready?
