quarante-quatre ° dictated

I should like to announce my sister Sunny has arrived. [For those that know her, it's a big deal.] She's two and usually has a ribbon in her hair. She's very independent, but she's still learning to speak.

While I'm very good at taking care of her, I'm going to need some things. [Things she can actually afford. She hopes her parents are proud of her.] Dresses and the like. Sunny can keep herself occupied. She's a very good cook actually, and very intelligent.

She does have sharp teeth though. So I would beware.

Children go through hardships just as much as adults do. Sorrow and threats don't just go away because you're younger than eighteen.

I'm aware, but I swore an oath to protect children. Adults, least they have more of an ability to deal with them.

You'd be surprised of what children are capable of on their own. [What she's had to do, what her siblings have done.]

Adults aren't always better at things just because they're older. [About eighty percent of the adults she knows back home are down right idiots.]

Oh, I know. But I watch over them anyway.

[He chuckles] No, and maybe they should have Guardians of their own. But it's been this way for a long time, I doubt he'd want to change things now.

The children of your world are lucky then.

I hope I can make it better for the kids trapped here, too.

That's kind of you.

Someone has to do it, it's a real shame not everyone does.

Sometimes you have to look out for your own here. The Castle has a habit of doing things specifically to individuals as well as groups of people.

Thanks, I'll remember that. Keep my eyes open for it.

You've never experienced them yet?

Not yet, I've only been in this place just over a month.

I've been here nearly two years.

...Long time. [Long time without PARENTS, but he doubts she's appreciate him pointing that out] You must be well used to this place by now, then.

For the most part. This place still springs things on you. Like little sisters.

Least that's a good little thing to be sprung on you.

It's the best kind of thing.

I'm glad you've got each other here.

I am, too. It's the first time one of my family has shown up.

That's been a long time for you to be alone. [Hear that concern there?]

I haven't been. Not really. There have been enough people here to care and look out for me.

That's something I can say for this place. You mostly look out for one another.

You end up getting close to people. You have to.

Being trapped in a magical castle out to gett you probably brings that out in people, yeah.

It seems it does. Do you have anybody here?
