"No can do, Casca. Orders of the little witch kid 'erself. It's for yer safety."
"But I don't get any reactions when he's asleep. "
"He could wake up at any moment, and we don't have any more juice to count for relapses."
"How can I get better if I don't try to get over whatever happened to me? I need to be with Guts!"
"Casca, Y' know that this is the sensible option-"
"How long do I need to be 'sensible' when he's dying right in front of me? Why can't I protect him for once?" Casca pushes Hyde away from the door, to which he tries to resist, but his muscular memory still proves that two years wasn't enough for all her force to go away.
"Casca!" Farnese looks back as Farnese brings the boy with her, covered in a blanket as his head hangs upside down.
"Where the heck did you find that boy, Farnese? That ain't how you hold a damn kid, woman!" Hyde quickly moves over to get the child from her arms before he could fall to the floor as Casca stops to see what they were doing.
"Wh-What did I do wrong?"
"Don't you see how kids are? Look at them big ass heads they got! You gotta put another hand on their nape so they don't hurt their backs!" Hyde adjusts the kid and places it back on her shoulder.
"He seems much more comfortable now..."
"Course he is. Been waiting to have a kid with Jodi for over 3 years, you bet yer ass I'm gonna be the best father in all the three worlds when I'm back home! Had plenty of time to hold Violet and the girls in my arms when they were young. Oh, they grow up so fast..."
"You can say that again." You chuckle reminding of Violet's instant growth into adulthood, wondering how you would explain the moonlight child's identity to the others.
