Neverwinter Forest Just playing around

She had actually been looking forward to this. Getting on with life had been kind of difficult, more so than she had expected, and spending time getting to know Mal's son seemed like a good way to forget about things for a little bit. For most of the walk, she had quietly followed at Mal's side, wondering what all she would need to say or do. She was unsure what all you were supposed to do around kids, and she especially didn't want to do anything to hurt this one. When he suggested that she offer to help if Cupid chose to join them, she nodded. Yeah, no problem, Simmik assured him. She had no issues helping at all. She knew Caerus was important to Mal, and she didn't want him to suffer anymore misfortune. So if that meant offering to babysit or keep a close eye on the borders so that the pup didn't wander off alone, then she could definitely do that. She just wondered if Cupid would be okay with that, considering they hardly knew each other. But she wouldn't know unless she asked. 

She paused as Mal called for the child. Within seconds, a blur of brown and grey came flying from inside the den. He bounded up to them, his course set directly for Mal. Simmik couldn't help but smile at the boy's exuberance. She waited quietly, though, for father and son to greet each other; she knew Mal needed this just as much as she did.
