All right.

Do you know anything about kitsune or nogitsune?

A little, but what I can read about doesn't guarantee everything about Malina. I'm looking forward to knowing her as her own little person.

There are a few things that are absolutely guaranteed. Feeding off chaos, for instance.

That won't be hard to do in a house with a basan and two girls under the age of 2!

Absolutely. But in case of emergencies or lack of appropriate chaotic events, there are other things. The blue meat and blood I gave Charlie when she was pregnant, for instance, apparently is an adequate substitute.

Are you saying Malina won't eat regular food at all, or just needs it as a supplement? I'd want to be sure she has what she needs when she visits.

She can eat regular food. She's in her own body, unlike me. She just also needs these other things.

[There's a pause, because while he may not know this, Jemma is taking notes. She never again wants to feel as unprepared as she did when Wendy came to live with her while Charlie was gone.

For everything Jemma's been through in her life not messing up with Wendy for that time is amongst the most stressful in her life.]

Okay. Once she's on solid food, could you get some of that for me? I'll keep an emergency stash frozen for her here.

Yes, I can do that. I'll need to get it for Erica as well as Charlie, so it's not a bother to get extra. Keep in mind a little of it goes a long way, so you should be able to make one batch last a month or so. It's very high carb, Charlie says.

[That's important for several reasons.]

I'll be sure to divide it up in equal portions, before I freeze it.

And how high?

300 grams per...cup, I suppose?

Sorry, it's slightly off topic, but I just met someone who needs to consume large quantities of calories a day to stay functional. You wouldn't let me take a sample to experiment with, would you?

Obviously, that bit would never go near Malina. It would never even be in the same building as she is.

[If it involves preparation for Malina's safety, preparation is where Jemma excels.]

How large a quantity? And you can have a sample, sure.

[ He obviously knows this, from Charlie and Wendy ]

100000 calories a day large, and I would really appreciate using it for testing.

[Hey, he's the dad. He gets to be totally reassured. Jemma gets it. She wouldn't hand Wendy back over to Charlie until she was reassured it really was Charlie.]

While she's still and infant, is there much special care she needs? I know she'll be with Charlie almost every second, but if she -- or you -- want an extra pair of hands, I'm here.

And I thought my diet was difficult I'll get you a sample.

[ Pausing, thinking. ]

Not really. If you've been twittering on the internet or whatever, that kitsune tree is not a real thing.

[ twittering on the internet> ]

He has it down to the number of tacos he would need to eat a day, and no one needs that many tacos. I'm looking into alternatives for him with someone.

[Ha! Someone with whom she is barely speaking.]

I can promise I have not been twittering on the internet, but I have read a few folktales, but this is much more informative. I'm taking notes. If you don't mind, I'd like to do up a list of things for Kitsune care, and send it to you, to be sure I've got everything correct?

Don't tell Maya. She loves tacos, she'd find a way to have exactly however many that is.

I don't mind. That way, if anything happens to me, someone else will know.

I promise not to tell Maya.

[Oh yes, she's read about kitsunes and promises.]

Perfect! Is there anything else you need to add, or wait to revise it until she's a little older?

Don't promise if you can't keep it.

[ Because that's super bad. ]

I can wait for now.

Unless you know how to manage teenagers who seem to think they are doomed to everlasting loneliness and despair.

I know what I said.

[She was serious. She had looked up a few things. Jemma's just being reassuring. New dads get that.]

I'll get these notes all neatened up and send them over tomorrow for checking.

[Yes, her first project of the day will involve ways to keep her new goddaughter healthy. Other things can be pushed down the list for now. Being a godmother is very serious business. ]

I believe that's called being a teenager.

[Or being Jemma Simmons, but whatever.]

I may be biased in that most of the other teenagers I know saved the world on a daily basis, but do they normally think nothing good will ever happen to them except in the case where it happens just so something worse can happen later?

I can't say for sure.

[Jemma was not a normal teenaged girl by any stretch of the imagination.]

But everything is so dramatic then. It's either brilliant, or a crisis.

Hm. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.
