Stay With Me || Rouxls Kaard X Fem!reader (WIP)

Chapter IV || Lesser Mom

You look back at Rouxls, who is blushing. "Lesser Mom..." he says. You blush too. You barely even know this man, but Ralsei seems to trust him, so you do too. 

"Well, we'd better not keep him waiting. He might wander off." You say, suddenly realizing that you're more of a maternal figure than you thought.

"Aye," Rouxls agrees. "Come along." He starts to walk off, and you follow, waving goodbye to Ralsei. 

"Bye, Ralsei! See you soon!"

"Goodbye, y/n!" Ralsei calls after you.

Rouxls gestures for you to follow him, and you run ahead to catch up. He sits down near Lancer, and you pick up the blueberry child and hug him. "Alright," you say. "Rouxls, you go ahead and 'tend to your bugkeeping', and Lancer and I can... I dunno, play or something." Rouxls nods, and begins to dig in the dirt with a small spade (Pun SO intended). 

"So," you say, turning Lancer around to face you. "What do you wanna do?" He looks around for a bit, before turning back to you.

"I wanna dig for worms too!" You look at Rouxls, you is silently telling you 'no', then turn back to Lancer and smile. "Sure!" Lancer smiles and runs over to Rouxls.

"Lesser dad," Rouxls looks at you as if he's gonna kill you, and his eyes look so dead inside. You shrug at him. "Lesser mom says that I can bugkeep like you!" 

"Oh, I see." He replies, with enthusiasm so fake that it's practically plastic. 

"Do I have a spade?" Lancer asks, looking around.

"Alas, I haveth only mine." 

"Oh." 

You stand up. "Well, I guess we'll just have to—" your eyes widen as you feel a sudden feeling. "Hey, uh... Are there bathrooms in this place?" Rouxls looks at you. 

"Well, there is one in mine shoppe, but I'm afraideth it is limited to employees only." He stabs his spade into the ground. "Though, I suppose I could letteth thou useth it this time..." You quicky run back to the shop

"K THX BYEEEEEE" Rouxls gives you a weird look as you run off.

||Rouxls/Lancer POV||

Lancer pokes at the dirt with a stick. Rouxls rolls his eyes. "Oh, here." He says as he reluctantly hands the spade over to the small spade child. Lancer seems to light up, gladly taking the spade and beginning to poke at the dirt.rouxls cranges slightly, but remains calm and scoots closer to Lancer, and gently takes the spade. "No, no, do it this way. Payeth attention." Rouxls patiently shows Lancer how to use the spade, and with a few tries, the blueberry child is already tolerable. Lancer begins to tug on a worm in the ground. Rouxls is quick to instruct the child again. "Don't pulleth on the worms, childe, be gentle with them." Lancer nods, and uses the spade to pull up the surrounding dirt around the worm, then easily picks it out of the dirt. He turns to Rouxls, brimming with pride. 

"Look, Lesser Dad, I did it!" Lancer holds the worm out in front of him, cheering.

"Yes, yes thou did do it!" Rouxls praises enthusiastically, smiling.
