I can't help but notice you got assigned a kid today. I'm setting you up a care package.
Some bedding, toys, bathroom supplies. And if you need, I can have a bed rush ordered so she has a place to sleep.

Boss, you're a damn saint. I'll take you up on all but the bed: got a nice, big one in m' yurt I don't use. That ol' sayin' 'bout sleeping when you're dead?
It's a crock. 'Less I'm injured or some such, at least.

In that case, I'll also send some kind of big stuffed animal. Something to cuddle with in bed.
I know she's got to be scared, anything I can do to make her time here a bit easier, just let me know. Kristen's also getting some things together.

Won't say no to that, but I wouldn't fret. She's got herself a bear of her own, plus I gave her a new doll--somethin' I made. On top of that? She's got Mrs. Porter 'n her brood crashin' out on the bed with her--that big gold dog I claimed 'n her pups. Gonna let her pick one for herself, one of the pups, I mean.
[She shuddered a bit at the mention of giving her a doll.]
As long as that doll doesn't become homicidal...
Call it over mothering. I'm already having to get stuff for Sarah, It's no problem to get some stuff for...what's her name?

Angel.
...can you do me one favor, Boss? If you wanna order her any clothes--little girl whatnot--stick with tank tops 'stead of t-shirts, and no dresses with sleeves. Made her a promise I wouldn't say nothin', but she's got a...physical situation what necessitates tops with as little in the back 'n shoulders as possible.

Physical situation? I won't say anything, but if she has some kind of disability, we can modify anything we send over to her.
I was talking with Mr. Harry...Can you talk to the school about my schoolwork?
Reckon I can. What needs talkin' about, little soul?
Mmmh. Well, that ain't a hard thing to fix, sugar pie. I'll track down your teacher 'n talk to 'em. And if that still ain't challenge enough, you 'n me can do some stuff together. Whatcha like best at school, favorite subject?
Last time the white coats tested me, I was almost on college level work. It's Miss Foxx.
Hmm...I think my favorite is math.

College?! No foolin'? Honest Injun, you just keep on impressin' me every damn day, I tell you what.
I'll talk to Miss Foxx--and if math's what you like? Well...maybe sometimes you can help me with mine. 'Rithmetic never was my best subject.

I have a short lifespan, I had to be designed that way.
Thanks...I'm tired of doing simple addition and easy word problems.

Not anymore, little soul. You're gonna live to be an old, old woman.
Hey, you wanna solve one for me? How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

you could try, but won't be easy. i'm a hard man to bother.
seriously, though: be happy to. stop by the stables after your schooling. you can practice grooming silverstone. he's a patient fella.

I'm going to have to stop going on raids in a few months. When that happens, can you watch them for me?
Like they was my own pledged souls, you got my word--but how come? You ain't sick or some such, are you?
Well, I'll be a sonufabitch: congratulations, little boss! If that's the case, maybe take off the jobs right away. Delicate condition 'n all--I don't give a rat's ass what them medical men say, or how tough women are, you're busy buildin' a person and can use all the down time you can get.
I don't know, I'm still debating. I hate just taking off from work with no warning. Maybe get a protective vest until I start really showing.
You're a mother. The rugrat's priority, any idiot can see that, little boss.
If you're gonna insist on workin' until you get bigger, I'll do ya one better 'n a vest, 'cause kevlar can't cover everything. You'll take my coat for a spell--the one I wear when I'm workin' as a god, and not just stompin' mudholes in folks. It's a divine relic--like the Holy Grail or the Spear of Destiny, this one's just specific to me. So long as you wear it, death can't touch you, nor the bun in the oven.
I'll bring it by later on. When you're ready to be benched 'till the baby's born, you can bring it back to me. Sound good?
