" - hello?"

"Don't tell me your name and don't lie or attack me or anything, I'm a fairy and it'll cause problems," he says wearily.

She blinks at him.

" - can we help you?"

She tilts her head and stares. 

- oh they have this other thing with them! It's like a person but it's much smaller! And it's cute! She likes it. She kneels down and smiles at the little person thing.

The baby gurgles and stares back at her.

" - should someone go get her, or something - "

"She's not going to hurt anyone on purpose but she could accidentally if startled or something -"

"And we don't - want the fairy to do anything to her, either - "

"It would probably make Cecelia pretty sad if we had to kill him after all that."

"That does seem like something that would not make her happy."

"We're not gonna let him take you home."

Nodnod.

"Huh," he says to Cecelia.

"What?"

"I assumed this is the other Karen - looks like her - but we're not entangled. So I guess she's not."

"Maybe this one's called something else."

Small person! Small person! Small person who gurgles and makes water come out of her mouth! She wonders if a small person is made of the same things as big people. Maybe she isn't. She could cut her up to find out, but she isn't sure whether small people regrow like big people, and then she wouldn't get to stare at this small person anymore. 

"- we need to stop her - can we -"

He suddenly has a tree branch in his hands. "Why do we need to stop her -"

"Contemplating cutting up the baby - I don't think she's currently planning to - she's a good person she just doesn't know anything about anything -"

"Well, maybe we can draw her off the baby at least." 

And he takes off at a run to do this.

She looks up at the person running to her.

She is definitely way more powerful than he is. He waves the tree branch over his head and gestures with it.

She frowns at him.

You guys should leave, he tells Cecelia, we're a little worried she's erratic and doesn't understand how to not hurt people.
