"Rasho?"

"What?"

Pratty turned to him with a thoughtful frown. "What kind of baby was I?"

"… why are you asking me?"

"Well, you said you saw me as a baby, so I was just wondering." She smiled sheepishly. "Never mind, I was just thinking."

There was a pregnant pause.

"You were… loud." He remarked. "Almost as loud as the oni children at home. You kept grabbing everything as well. It drove Shintetsu insane; however, he found it amusing when it was someone else." A peeved frown crossed his face that Pratty didn't miss.

Pratty's impish face suggested that she took that as a challenge and, with the promise of trouble gleaming at him from those eyes, Rasho decided that perhaps he should forgo sleep for a few days.

"Hehe…"
