[The message starts out as your regularly scheduled Baby Cam. Rose is currently playing with a set of stacking cups, which are apparently quite exciting. But Wash does actually have a point to this broadcast other than showing off the cuteness that is his daughter.]

I think it's best if you're all warned that the baby has figured out portals.

[It had to happen sooner or later]

We're trying to keep her locked down but if you run into surprise Rose just give me or Zoe a psychic shout and we'll come retrieve her.

Well, peace was nice while it lasted.

There should be a few means of keeping perpetually aware of her location, although I'm not sure how many will work across both Liminal Space and Jaunt simultaneously.

It was.

For a while it was looking like she might just learn all the other things you can do with liminal space except those, but apparently she was just biding her time.

I should try to figure out how she finds us with the network. Even if it doesn't work between jaunt and liminal.

I'm not an expert on that, but I think Thorne might be...Armin definitely is, and he's usually willing to teach anyone. Supposedly you can also learn to feel the folds in Liminal Space when a Portal is made, which is how people keep finding everyone's Dungeon entrances, but I haven't learned that trick yet either.

Guess I'll ask around.

Hopefully her being a guest extends to not having to worry about dungeons with her at least...

I'm fairly certain toddler minds would create very different Dungeon spaces anyway, if they made them at all. Considering they still act on every emotion immediately, I'm not sure they'd even create one.

Is that your daughter?

[Maria is less surprised by...whatever it is the baby is doing and more surprised that her father is taking an interest.]

She's very coordinated.

[That's a good baby compliment, right?]

She sure is.

[Give it a few more episodes of Psychic Baby Cam and it will become clear just how involved a father Wash is]

She's really been getting the hang of it lately. Clever little thing.

You sound proud. [And she can't help but melt a little at that, more than the cuteness of the child.] I didn't think there were children in this place.

Who wouldn't be, with a great kid like her?

[Not that he's biased or anything]

There's a few older kids, but Rosie's the only one this little. My wife didn't even realize she was pregnant until after she'd been brought here.

Good lord, she gave birth here? And you weren't angry that it happened away from where you belong?

Well neither of us were exactly happy about it happening here.

[Not even if it meant he didn't miss out on it.]

But Rose is here whether it's ideal or not, so it's our job to keep her safe.

As it should be. Does your wife care for her while you perform the...actions requested of us?

[Not that Maria thinks she should, but she's seen few lands where a woman's place is not with the children.]

Depends what needs doing. Zoe's generally better in a fight than I am, so I look after Rosie then. If it's flying or tinkering though, then I'm the one who needs free hands.

[It's a pretty even balance all things considered]

Is she really? Your wife must be a formidable woman.

[And Maria really, really wants to meet her now.]

She is. I'm lucky to be married to her. And to have this little cutie.

[A hand creeps into the stream to tickle Rose and evoke one of those wonderful little baby laughs]

Then...congratulations, I suppose. You're luckier than many.
