( he's not exactly worried himself. just... confused? maybe?
baby sits up a little straighter on the bed, crossing his legs and glancing at mystery. normally, injuries like theirs would have eased by now, healed a little quicker than normal. but his entire body aches, and he's certain that the cut across mystery's face is going to be nice and irritated beneath the bandages.
lightly, baby flexes his hand, trying to will that easy change into demon. nothing happens. )
I think... ( he frowns, running his tongue along his teeth and feeling nothing but the flat edges of them. ) I think we're human.
( which should be impossible. right? or next to impossible? baby's thoughts spiral out of control after that, uncertain and a little more than terrified at the prospect. being human made them fragile, made them a target. what were they supposed to do if they couldn't protect themselves like they normally could? )
