A Well-Earned Snack

Lucas has an excellent poker face, and is good at keeping a child calm. He's always been good with kids, I know this, but it's impressive just how good he is at keeping them calm, too.

Even when I stepped away, he didn't let that affect his expression at all. He's cheerfully playing with May like nothing happened at all.

Valentine's eyes dart around anxiously, and he keeps peering back and forth, but he seems to have calmed down for the most part. His hand no longer grips the dagger at his side like he's trying to crush it.

May... May is totally unaware of the danger, and plays with her toys.

She's gleeful and happy, trotting Taffy around as she sits, and playing with some little toy box of something like it's luggage.

Celeste has...surprisingly been able to keep it together.

But then, Celeste has never been a coward.

She's shy, and she's always struggled with her confidence.

But cowardice? No.
