10 / Linn’ar

“Greetings! Hello! Trick or treat!”

The sound of Zat’tor’s voice at the door woke me. I roused to discover I was in Jaeyoung’s den, with him curled up in my arms. I remembered that we stumbled back here after our relaxing night at the pool.

Jaeyoung’s reflexes were slower than mine and he got up slower than I did. “What is he talking about?” he grumbled, rubbing his eyes. “Trick or treat? It’s not even Halloween...”

Levi’s muffled voice came next. “No, no. The first two are fine, but the last one isn’t relevant right now.”

Jaeyoung huffed as he sat upright. “Why are those two—” Realization struck him and his eyes widened. “Oh, right.” He quickly got up and shimmied into the onesie. “Be there in a sec!” he called to our visitors.

Watching him put on the covering filled me with joy. I was happy to see him wearing the garment we created together. It looked adorable on him, and it fit perfectly.

Jaeyoung rushed to the door with uncharacteristic enthusiasm and threw it open. Zat’tor and Levi stood on the other side—but they weren’t alone. Little Dai’zee was with them.

I joined Jaeyoung, who I noticed was fidgeting more than usual. Was he nervous about babysitting?

“I see you’re dressed today,” Levi said with a grin. He wore a pink onesie, too, the one I gifted him a while ago.

“Yeah, well, it’s a big day,” Jaeyoung said.

While the humans chatted, I greeted Zat’tor with a clicking trill and a wave of my tentacles. My sibling returned the gesture. Dai’zee was propped up in his arms, and she wriggled in his grip, reaching out curiously. She looked like a Maeleon, her body a bright leaf-green, but she had Levi’s human eyes.

Zat’tor offered her to me. I knew he trusted me intrinsically to watch his offspring because that’s what Maeleons did. Whenever there were young ones in the village, we shared responsibility for their care.

But Jaeyoung seemed unsure of himself. He looked at Dai’zee like he was afraid of hurting her by accident. He just needed practice.

“You gonna be okay?” Levi asked. “You look like you’re going to pass out.”

Jaeyoung huffed. “I do not. And we’ll be fine.”

“I know you will, otherwise I wouldn’t leave my kid with you,” Levi assured him, smiling. “Besides, Linn’ar knows what he’s doing. Right?”

“Oh, yes,” I chirped. “We will have lots of fun today. Do not fret.”

Zat’tor pointed at his offspring’s mouth. “Her sharp baby fangs are coming in. Do be careful she doesn’t bite your fingers off.”

Jaeyoung’s brows rose, his scientific curiosity reignited. “Born without teeth and they grow in later...”

“Hey, do not study my infant,” Levi ordered. “You’re babysitting, not conducting research.”

“Not even casual observations?”

Levi rolled his eyes. “Fine. Casual observations only. When you have your own, you can do all the research you want.”

Jaeyoung’s cheeks turned pink. “When I have my own?”

But Levi and Zat’tor were already leaving. Levi grinned and waved at Jaeyoung, and I had a feeling he teased him on purpose.

“We’ll pick her up at sunset!” Levi called.
