                           __________________________

Amity was on her way to the Owl House to have some Little time with Eda. She really didn't want to regress in the Manor because it was just so cold and unfriendly. However, the Owl House was warm and friendly and she has quite a few fond memories there too. Luz was in the human realm for school and wouldn't be coming over until the weekend. That was fine though, Amity always felt weird when regressing in front of her girlfriend, even if Luz thought she was the most adorable baby in the world.

"Hey, Boots!" Eda greeted her when she knocked on the door.

"Hey, Eda," Amity gave her a smile.

The living room was all set up for a regressor. There was a playpen in front of the coffee table, a changing mat rolled up next to said coffee table, and a bag of what seemed to be lots of toys

"Alright, everything is set up. You need help getting changed?" The owl lady asked.

"I changed before I left..." Amity said.

"Hmm, okay, but do you mind if I check? Usually it's harder to get the tapes right by yourself," She offered.

"Y-you can check," She allowed.

Eda rolled out the changing mat on the coffee table and then laid Amity on it. The girl squeaked, still feeling a little big. But that mindset changed when Eda put a paci in her mouth and handed her Otabin, her stuffed animal that was in her bag.

It seemed like Amity was just wearing a tucked in shirt with a skirt and hoodie, but when Eda took off the skirt, she found that she was actually wearing a onesie underneath. She unsnapped it and checked the tapes. She sighed when she saw how loose and weirdly positioned they were. But it was okay, Eda just fixed the tapes and snapped the onesie back on

"You did a good job, but you needed a little help. It's alright, though, I wouldn't expect someone as small as you to get it perfect~" Eda baby-talked her. Amity grinned a lot behind the pacifier. She loved the baby talk and baby praise and all that type of stuff. It really helped her feel little and not so insecure. Amity even spoke to her therapist about the baby talking and praising and apparently if they have these regression times at least once a week with all the baby talking and stuff, it would subconsciously help with all the unrealistic standards her mo- Odalia planted inside her. She really hated having panic attacks over small mistakes so she was pretty ecstatic to find out that it would be subconsciously helping her.

Eda set Amity down in the playpen and went to grab something. When she returned, she stepped in and took out a bag of toys.

"Camila saw some of these in the human realm and thought of you and sent some over. But a lot of these are demon realm toys for your age range" She explained, dumping out all of the toys onto the floor. There was a couple toddler toys that didn't require much imagination, but there were also figures and dolls and building blocks.

Amity was so excited! She barely played with toys growing up and now she finally could! She grabbed an Azura action figure and held it. 

...And then kept holding it.

That's when Amity realized that she had no clue how to play with toys. She tried maybe making the figure dance around or something but it didn't feel right! After getting frustrated, she picked up a new toy and tried to play with it. But the same thing happened! She was confused and didn't know how to play!

Eventually, it got so overwhelming and frustrating that tears started to pour out of her eyes and she started sobbing. She threw the toy she was holding across the room and started banging her fist on the floor.

Eda saw her throw the toy and was about to scold her for throwing things, but then noticed her crying and could hear the sobs getting louder. When Amity started to hit the floor, Eda tried grabbing her hands gently to prevent any injuries, even though they were sitting on a foam playmat.

"Shh, Ami, it's okay, what's wrong?" Eda tried asking.

"D-don't know how!" Amity cried. Eda was confused. What did she not know how to do?

"What don't you know how, Boots?" She queried.

"To pway! Dun know how to play!" Amity sobbed.

Eda frowned, a little worried. But then again, she reminded herself that a lot of the reasons that people regress is to give themselve's better childhood memories or heal their inner child.

"It's alright to not know how to play, sweetie." She told her, rubbing the girl's back.

She held her for a bit and let her cry it out until she eventually calmed down. While she was comforting her, she wondered if maybe part of the reason why she didn't know how, was because she regressed so young. Perhaps sensory play and Montessori toys were better for her. That way she wouldn't have a hard time, especially when imagination is involved. The Baby Blight probably had no clue how to even use her imagination. It would most likely be best to have her use it in small amounts instead of forcing it all at once.

When she was finished crying, Eda set her back down on the mat.

"Listen, Kid. it's going to take time to learn how to play and actually be entertained by it. How about for now, we try out something easier?" she suggested, taking out a few toys that shouldn't require too much brain power.

Amity seemed to have some fun while sorting shapes and colors. Eda wanted to try something after a little while though. What if they tried to build with the blocks, but Eda give her some guidance on what to build or how to do it. Maybe that'll help her.

So she got out the bag of colorful blocks and set them down.

"How about we try to build a small house?" She suggested. Amity was a little hesitant but got out a couple blocks and started building. It actually worked quite a bit! She would get a little frustrated every now and then but she didn't seem to be getting bored. When the house was complete, she stimmed happily.

"Good job on trying something new, kid," Eda said, giving Amity a little sticker. She squealed and hugged Eda. Then, she pulled away and signed

'Thank you, E-D-A, you awesome!'

Eda smiled and ruffled her hair

"No problem, kiddo,"
