Crymini was in a bad mood. She didn't know why, but she was feeling really cranky. She tried everything to keep her mood in check. She even tried taking a nap, but that only made her crankier. She kept herself away from everyone so no one would have to deal with her attitude. She remembered how she was harshly reprimanded and sometimes punished for it by her parents and relatives on Earth. However, being alone with her feelings made the hyena feel a thousand times worse. It was starting to make her feel little, which she also hated. She didn't want to feel little right now. She wanted to be big.

Husk, whom Crymini has a father-figurely relationship with, learned a lot about age regression from taking care of Angel whenever he regresses. He also knew about Crymini's regression when she told him about it and has taken care of her a couple of times when her headspace dropped. The hyena knew that Husk would be understanding, but she didn't want to him to interfere. However, she knew that being alone wasn't doing her any good.

So, Crymini walked out of her room and trudged down to the main area of the hotel. She went over to the bar and plopped down on one of the stools.

"Bad day?" Husk asked as he set down a shot glass he was cleaning.

Crymini only sighed in response.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Crymini looked up at Husk with a sad look on her face.

"I'm doing okay, really," the hyena lied.

"I can tell that you're not. It's okay to not be okay," Husk said.

Crymini could feel her headspace slipping more and more by Husk's words. She whined as she put her head on the table.

"I'm assuming you're small right now," Husk inquired.

"No, 'm big," Crymini denied.

"You can't really repress your regression, kiddo. It's probably why you're so grumpy."

"'m no little..."

"Okay, then."

Husk continued cleaning shot glasses as Crymini sat silently at the counter with her head down. Her mind was telling her that Husk was right and it was okay to be little. Maybe it could help her feel better. However, her big, stubborn self didn't want to. She was internally stuck.

"Can I have a drink, please?" Crymini asked after a few minutes.

"Sure thing," Husk nodded.

Husk grabbed a red sippy cup from under the counter (where all the sippy cups, kids plates and utensils, and bottles sat). He then grabbed some strawberry milk from the mini fridge he had and poured it into the cup.

"I wan' big drink," Crymini muttered.

"You're too young for alcohol. This is a lot better for you," Husk said as Crymini began whining.

"I'm not little, I wan' big drink."

"You're not old enough for alcohol. You can have strawberry milk instead."

This caused Crymini to start crying, screaming, and kicking their legs, her headspace finally dropping.

Husk walked around the bar and over to where Crymini was sitting, kneeling down to her eye level.

"Kiddo, look at me. You wanted alcohol to drink. However, you're not old enough to drink some," Husk said as he gently cupped Crymini's face, his tone being firm, yet calming at the same time. "You can cry about it, you're allowed to have these feelings, but you can't have alcohol. You can have strawberry milk instead."

Crymini stopped screaming and kicking their legs, slightly calming down from Husk's words. However, she couldn't stop sobbing.

"Come on, let's go calm down," Husk said as he carried the wailing hyena over to the lounge area. Once there, he gently set Crymini down on a beanbag at a calm-down/time-in area Charlie had set up for the hotel littles.

Crymini curled up into a ball and continued crying. Husk got down to her eye level again.

"I have to go finish cleaning up the bar, okay? If you want to cry, that's alright. If you want to do some of the activities in the time-in area, that's fine, too. Just give yourself some time to feel what you need to feel and calm down," Husk said as he stood up and walked back to the bar.

Crymini continued crying as Husk completed his task. He put the strawberry milk he prepared in the fridge in case she wanted it later.

A few minutes later, Husk finished cleaning the bar and went over to the time-in area to check on the hyena, who was still sitting in the beanbag. She sniffling and whimpering, her tantrum simmering down.

"You doing okay?" Husk asked.

"A little," Crymini hiccuped.

"You ready to get up and have fun?"

Crymini shook her head.

"You need more time?" Husk asked as the hyena nodded her head. "Alright, let me know when you're ready."

Husk got up and walked away to let Crymini calm down completely.

Crymini found a stuffed bunny that was sitting in a stuffed animals basket next to her. She grabbed the bunny and held it tight, running her fingers through its soft fur.

Six minutes passed and the hyena finally calmed down. She got up with the bunny in her arms and walked over to the couch, where Husk and Angel (who was regressed) were sitting.

"Hey, kiddo, are you feeling better?" Husk asked as Crymini nodded. "That's good. I like how you calmed down. Angel and I are gonna watch Bluey if you want to join us. You wanna watch Bluey?"

Crymini nodded again as she sat down next to Husk.

"Can I have the milk, please?" Crymini asked.

"Of course, you can. I'll go get it right now."

Husk stood up and walked over to the bar to get the strawberry milk the hyena denied earlier. He came back and handed the drink to Crymini.

"Thank you," Crymini said as she began drinking.

"No problem, sweetie," Husk said as he kissed Crymini's forehead. "I love you so much."

"I love you, too."
