I found her in the woods whilst I was washing clothes at that old pond. She seemed just as scared as me, poor thing, as we both surprised the ooglie-booglies out of each other.
She was skinny and frail and wide eyed and terrified.
Like I’d been when I first came to Arklay.
I’ve named her Faith and now she belongs to me, and I think maybe I belong to her.
Mina’s had her baby. I helped deliver it in the Dollhouse pool and we had to close it for two days just to clean up the darn mess. Eww. I just hope the customers don’t find out.
Mother and baby, and Khaige the babydaddy are doing well considering they just brought a child into the end of the world.
Not me, not now, not in this time and place. I just hope the herbs Kate gave me are working and I don’t end up with a goblin in my belly after doing the Happy. But if I do, I’ll deal, like I’ve been learning to. And if the worst comes to the worst, there’s always my stake. I am not bringing a baby into this bizarro world.
