In the deep of last night, as Rian was stalking a drink of water, I was interrupted by a small person's terrified summons.
And I froze for a moment, marveling for the first time, that there is at least one person in this world who, in helplessness and abject terror, calls MY name instinctively. *I* am comfort, aid and Fixer of All Things.
Tis a frightening thought.

I call for you but you never come... *sobs*
Sometimes I would go into my parents' bedroom and just watch them sleep for a while.
That is the Perfect way to scare thy parents to death, o Keppet.
What did ye think of when ye watched them?
I was thinking it was sweet, not scary.
Although, admittedly, I'd be a little scared if I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a child staring at me.
Rian woke once with a little face inches from my own, just breathing on me.
For a split moment I thought I was being Abducted.
I did that a few times too, sis. And I recall well the momentary startled fright of my parents when they inevitably awoke. I never meant to scare them...
I never did that...
I would freak out if someone was watching me sleep...
