Goth sat on a tall stool while Mother stood behind him with a rolling pin- the shin held onto the pin but it was Mother who slowly rolled it, explaining step by step how to make a pie. There was already one in the oven, Mother had shown him once. And they were baking all over again; Mother claims the more they do the more they learn. "*mama is going to take goth to sci again soon. he said that goth should have a check-up. every week. because goth was born weak." Mother told him sadly, causing Goth to become sad. The little shin reaches up and lightly pats Mother's cheek, leaving a flour mark behind, rattling slightly to cheer Mother up. Geno smiles and letting go of the rolling pin, he leans down and hugs his offspring, clunking his teeth onto Goth's skull. "*my sweet shin." Mother says lovingly, Goth smiles at Mother, who was raised up once more, "you want to make mama happy? don't like mama sad."The shin nods at Mother, rattling loudly now. "*grow up healthy and happy. that's all i want." Mother says with a distant look, "and let no one harm you. ever."
