Chimera Fields BWP: TSS Tiny Cold Feet

silently, shikoba often followed her daughter around to make sure that she didn't find herself in any trouble. unlike her mother, Ajei would probably get kidnapped easily because she's a tad more friendly [but shy] than shikoba was at her age. often, shikoba's own mother poked fun of her and would say that the kidnapper would likely return because of her mouth!

it seemed like Ajei was finding her way in the world, and so her mother does her best to not intervene unless there is a good chance that someone could die. and seeing her little girl triumph through the path with her many breaks only brings a deep sense of pride within shikoba. and for a moment, the mother thought of daring forward when she saw Ajei stumble into the cold water. but she's glad she did not, for her little girl was getting tougher by the day!

perhaps she had Massaraq and the others to thank for this. so shikoba stays off to the side, trying to not spoil their fun but to simply keep an eye on them. eventually, she'd come to make her presence known, or just let Ajei work her little nose magic. either way, Shikoba remains content.
