*Nymeria's P.O.V*

"Come here my little ball of nerves," Mama says as she crouches down in front of me, tapping my paci when I just stare at her blankly. She was trying to convince me to leave Mum's arms but that wasn't happening.

"Darling, I have to go work on some spells. Can't you please stay with your Mama?" Mum asks, bouncing me slightly as she tries to pry me off of her. It won't work though, my fingers are buried so tightly into the fabric of her dress if she moves me even a little then it will rip it.

"No, no, no," I say, my paci falling out of my mouth as I shake my head quicker. Mum catches the paci for me, giving it to me when I start to whine. I pout at her, huffing slightly as she grabs my hand and starts working at trying to untangle my fingers from her dress.

"Baby, I have to. This work is important and as much as I would love to give you all of my time and attention, that's simply not plausible," Mum says as she gently pries my fingers from her dress. I burst into tears, trying to convince her to stop but she's such a meanie that she doesn't! She even pushes my hand down when I try to relatch onto her.

"It's okay, it's okay," Mama says as she takes me from Mum, ignoring how much I am crying. Her hand goes to the back of my head, gently combing through my hair. I bury my face into her shoulder, angry sobs escaping me as she kisses the side of my head.

"You can stay with me darling, I promise that you'll be okay," Mama murmurs as I feel her adjust her hold on me. I sniffle angrily as I continue to cry, feeling Mum gently kiss my cheek when I turn my head slightly. I reach for her but she steps back, smiling sadly when I whimper softly.

"I know, I know. I'm so sorry baby. I'll be back as soon as I can," Mum says as she waves to me before disappearing into thin air. I sniffle, my tears stopping for a moment as I look after her longingly. Mama pats my bottom as I roughly push my face into her dress, wiping my nose on the shoulder of her dress.

"Mmm, how lovely darling," Mama says, sounding a little bit sarcastic as she snorts slightly. I giggle slightly, the sound wet sounding as it almost gets stuck in my throat. She walks in a small circle, humming before she tugs my face out of her neck.

"Here darling," Mama wipes my nose off with a handkerchief. I wrinkle my nose up, whining slightly when she keeps it there even when I try to turn my head.

"Blow," she instructs, making me blow my nose reluctantly. She chuckles slightly, pulling the handkerchief away and throwing it away.

"Mama," I say sadly, looking up at her as she wipes my face off with her hand. She gently wipes the tears from my eyes, frowning slightly when she smears my makeup.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to do that," she says as she carries me out of the room Mum and I had taken over. She bounces me up and down occasionally on her hip, humming slightly as she spins me around slightly. I giggle slightly, nuzzling into her as she does a small spin and then tips me over.

"I have just the thing to make you happy," Mama says as she bounces me, slowly swaying as she takes us into a pretty room. It's pretty as in it looks like we've just stepped outside but I can tell we're inside because there's furniture and also windows. She sets me down on a stool, kneeling next to me and pressing on the wall. The wall seems to spring to life, sliding back slightly and a desk taking its place.

"How about I do your makeup? Huh darling? Would you like that?" Mama asks, making me nod my head as I look at her. She coos when she sees me, gently cupping my face and kisses my cheek before she taps the desk and it opens up. There's tons of makeup in it, makeup that instantly catches my attention.

"Hm, do you want to play with Mama's makeup sweet girl? Would you like that?" Mama asks, catching my hand when I try to shove my hand right into a thing of eyeshadow. I had just wanted to fix a few of the colors, that was all.

"Mama p'ease, pwetty pease," I beg her, looking at her with wide eyes. She coos when I do that, kissing my cheek as she smiles softly.

"Of course darling," Mama says as she lets my hand go, letting me bury my hand in the makeup. I immediately regret it, hating how it sticks to my hand. I shake my hand, trying to get it off but that only seems to make it worse. I sniffle sadly as I look at Mama, making her coo softly as she kisses my cheek.

"It's okay baby, that probably feels all yucky on your hands huh?" Mama asks, making me nod as I pout at her. She takes my hand, pulling out a thing of wipes from the desk and carefully wiping my hands off.

"Let mama help," Mama says as she finishes wiping my hands off.  I coo at her as she gets some of the makeup on her fingers, situating me so that she can apply it to my face very gently. With almost featherlight touches she gets some eyeshadow on my cheeks.

"Mama, pretty," I smile at her as I reach out to touch her face. She smiles softly, grabbing my hand with her free hand and gently pressing it against her face.

"Mmm, not as pretty as you, my darling girl. I'll never be as pretty as my baby is," she says as she kisses my hand before going back to doing my makeup. I watch her with a smile, happy to just let her paint my face in an array of colors.
