One of these yes to ideas, no to execution

law has only a moment to study the tiny mink child, before kidd is barreling into him, shoving him to the ground. Any complains lost before he can voice them at a snarling screaming child held back from mauling his face by Kidd's prosthetic arm.

The child's mouth is bloody from trying to bite the metal, and Kidd completely ignores Law as he gets up, half crawling to keep his arm between them and a three and a half foot tall biting feral creature. The child is as naked as the mink, a sight more concerning without the thick fur the polar bear child has.

"Easy, easy!" Kidd sooths as he stays crouched down, keeping his large bulk as small as possible.

surpising law, he shoulders his coat off, and moves to disconnect his arm, letitng it fall heavy to the side. the boy in front of him clearly doesnt know what to make of that, as far as he can see, kidd's best defence has been tossed aside. what must kidds power, if the arm can be discarded to freely.

"easy kilkil," kidd wisperes, "nobodies gonna hurt you, nobies here to hurt your friend"

the mouth full of blood might say otherwise, but kidd holds his fleshy fingers right up to the childs face, getnly thumbing back his upper lip. "i really hope these are baby teeth too, bucuase your gonna be so mad when you come back and find out you broke a tooth on my arm..."

the child jerks away, and kidd is holding a tiny bloody tooth in his hand, cracked down the middle. Law frowned, /shambling/ it to himself to study it. He wasn't a dentist but "I might be able to fix it and get it back in place..."

Kidd tossed the rock Laws replaced the tooth with away, before lookign over his tiny partner. "Come here, and help me out."

at first law thought he was talking to him, but before he could tell him off, kidd sat down cross legged in the dirt, pulling the shoulder of his shirt off the remaining residual limb and then holding his right arm out, looking at the boy expectantly.

Tentativly, the boy moved to take the shirt sleeves cuff, pulling lightly, but lookign ready to dart away.

the shirt barely moved

"Oh no," kidd said, his voice low and soft, "did it get stuck? how did that happen?"

THe boy frowned, and Law knelt down too. Killer grabbed a better first full and tugged again.

"my amr's too fat!" kidd gasped conspititorially, twisting to his back to killer, "try pullingfromt he back."

Killer grabbed the bulk of the shirt, and this time, Law saw kidd stop flexxing so the cloth pulled free of his bicep easily.

Killer stummpled as the cloth pulled free, and held the shirt up between him and kidd.

"Good job!" and damnit - kidd ctually sounded like it was real praise.

Bloody face smiling wide at him, Law couldnt help but smile back when the child howed him kidd'd shirt, before turning his attention to where bepo was watching him back. THe mink had not moved from where he was sat, beut was watching just as intentely back.

Kidd was still talking quietly to the boy, and law watch him put on kidd's shirt, and sure the boy was suddable distracted, moved over to his own mate.

Bepo clung to him immediatly, eyes watery and Law tucked him into his coat without knowing what else to do.
