at    least    put    some    gloves    on,        sweetheart.            [    murmured   the   man   as   he   stepped   to   the   side   to   grab   a   pair   of   mittens   for   his   daughter.   ]          and    are    you      /sure/?        it's   odd    for   you   to   be   out   here   at    this    time.

@capskid     ,,          don't    worry    about    it.          [    a   hand   lifted    to    ruffle   her   locks   before   stepping   to   a    closet    to   grab   a   few   extra   blankets.   ]          want   me   to   tuck   you   in,      now?
