"Okay..." Shopping. She could do this. Surely she'd went grocery shopping once. At least.
Well, damn. She couldn't remember a time she had. Looking at the list again, she shoved it in her pocket and resigned to give the task to Draco.

There had been some serious moral issues in the possibility of bringing a baby into a package store. Jesse had soon decided, however, that the kid wouldn't remember and, when he was old enough to, he would probably already have gotten drunk once or twice. Problem solved.
"MEH!"
"No. It's my booze," Jesse replied rather seriously, holding an over-laden bag of God-knows-what away from the infant in his arms.

"Oh." She turned towards the man's voice. He was kind of scary, but he had a baby. And there wasn't much that Eri liked more than babies. Very carefully, she walked over to him, looking like she would flee at the first sight of animosity.
"I'm sorry, but do you need any help?" She asked, gesturing to the baby.

Jesse raised an eyebrow. Baby, random stranger. Booze, random stranger. Agh...such a pressing decision.
"I do," he ndded after a moment, "You mind?" There was a clink of glass as he held out the paper-plastic-plastic-plastic-plastic bag.
"MEEEEH!"
"NO. No booze until you're at least eight."

"I wouldn't have offered if I did." She took the bag from him, casting an eye over the baby. Aww. "Cute little one." She added, giving him a nod.

"Uh...thanks," Jesse said, nodding for the woman to follow, "I found him on the ground."
He paused.
"That sounded bad. It's true, but it sounded bad."
"Nnnnnnnthff," Silas agreed as he sucked on his own fist.

"Kids happen like that, sometimes. I got my baby when I randomly walked into a building. And the other kid came along because my friends thought I wasn't safe with children. They just pop up everywhere." She made sure to stay beside him, mostly to keep watch on the baby. Kids were cute.
"Oh. I'm Erishi, by the way."

"Jesse," the large man replied and nodded, pulling open the door to the crew's rusty old pickup (which was quite a feat with only four fingers), "Pleased to meet you, and thanks again."

"No problem." She gave Jesse a smile, leaning past him to push the bags into the pickup. "Didn't want you to drop one or the other."
She straightened back up and smiled at the baby. "You be good to him, little man, okay?" She said, reaching out to tickle his stomach.

Little man. Huh.
"THHHH!" Sy lisped happily while reaching out, grabbing one of Erishi's breasts, and honking it hard.
"SILAS!"
The infant began shrieking as his hand was pulled away. He clearly didn't like being denied a good grope.
"No. You be polite."
Silas sniffled and calmed.

Most people would have been at least embarrassed by the molestation, or angry. Erishi, however, didn't exactly fit her gender's stereotypes. She laughed at him, shaking her head.
"You better watch out for him when he grows up, or you'll be winding up with some grandkids real early in life."

"That's why we'll teach him proper technique," Jesse said offhandedly, boggling over the fact that he hadn't just been slapped (knowing well that nobody slapped babies).
Sy decided that this fight was not over. He reached out once more, making little grabby fists for the chain around Erishi's neck.
"NnnnnnEH....nnnnnEH NEH."

"I'm somewhat glad that my babe's a girl. I have a feeling I'd scare anything that would want to screw with her away." Not that Shammi would be in that position any time soon.
Eri laughed at the baby, reaching behind her neck to unclasp her necklace and dangle it above his face. "Sorry, little man. I don't think I'm going to get within arm range again."

Silas gave a gleeful little sound and reached up, pulling the chain down with an infant's force and shoving both it and his fingers into his mouth.
"Sy...give it back..." Jesse groaned, slapping a palm to his face.
"Blllll..."

"As long as it doesn't go down his throat, all's good. I'm used to be covered in odd fluids." Eri smiled at Jesse, making sure that the baby didn't have too much of the chain.
