Wow... That was unexpected. I thought you'd just tell me to get lost or something

“ fuck off, before i regret my decision. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

I can't sleep. Can you sing me a song?

“ ... Just this once. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

Okay, so it’s a little burnt… but it still tastes good, alright?

“ your burnt it on purpose. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

I don't know either. Just eat it

“ if you hate me just say it, no needs to give me a goddamn burnt cookie. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

You gay?

“ i aint got a scooby, shark. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

Also it’s pride month. Be gay. Do Murder.

“ i doubt thats a good option. Do NOT attempt murders. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

“ well its more space for klavier to kiss it or whatever. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

“ why is cookie me burnt. ”

After a short while the kid returns. Sorrel is now wearing a backpack (which is also shaped like a shark) from wich you can kinda see his plushie looking out. He's still smiling happily. "My Mama wasn't there but the nice Mr. Officer said I could stay with you!! Oh! and he wants me to tell you that they're looking for my aunt now :] "

“... Right.”

He didnt trust it. No, if the aunt wasnt often contacted by the parents— then there must be a full reason, they couldnt just call her now without background now, can they? She cohld arm the kid, afterall. Hed not tolerate that. But now... He needed to focus on the kid ahead of him. A sigh escaped his lips as he ruffled the kids hair and handed him his hand so Sorrel could take it and both could make their way to Daryans car so Daryan could take the kid to his house for the night. Daryan was— however— too focused on the danger the aunt could possibly be to the kid. Who knows? She could use the kid for anything and that didnt really please the man.

Sorrel's face absolutely lights up at the mention of staying the night. "Ohhh like a sleepover?? I never had a sleepover before!! One second, I'll go ask my Mama and then I'll pack my backpack! It'll be sooo fun!!" Sorrel turns and runs back towards the house

“ .... ”

daryan isnt even capable of holding the kid back before it runs to inside the crime scene. ‘shit.’ he could only think as he stood frozen in the place. Although.. by now, they must have taken the bodies out of the house already to get the autopsy reports— so the kid wouldnt.. get scared and cry, so that was ATLEAST something, he thought ofcourse. So now he just... Probably needed to wait and stand there, seeing how long itd take the kid to return— his thoughts did end up in thinking how cute the kid honestly was, it reminded him.of his younger siblings, such shame they werent closer anymore, but he disgressed about it. He needed to focus on taking care of the Sorrel now, isnt it?

[thelullabyoftheshark]

I need a hug 🥺

“ Ask klavier for it. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

Hiiiiii, I miss you. Do your miss me.

“ do i look like. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

"Ohh that's such a cool name! It's nice to meet you, Daryan" Sorrel jumps up and down a little while still smiling.

"Uhh family? I have an aunt but she never visits anymore since she started living in the sea. Uh, I think that's what my papa meant, he said it weird" Sorrel looks a little to the side in thought. What he seems to mean was 'sleeping with the fishes' but he doesn't seem to know what that means. "Are you gonna call her? I don't think Mama and Papa would like that, the three were always yelling at each other"

“...” that made everything harder for Daryan. He had to take a deep breath before standing up and ruffling his weird looking hair and thinking real hard. He looked around, then at the kid once again, he couldnt leave the kid with just anyone, not when apparently his aunt and parents always argued and shit. ... Maybe hed be able to take the kid himself to his own house, atleast for the night.

“... Would you wanna spend the night with me today?” he questioned with a raised eyebrow. He didnt want to force the kid— but he really had no else option at all.

[thelullabyoftheshark]

So, did it ever accidentally whip your coworkers or bandmates face

“ no. Not at all. ”

[thelullabyoftheshark]

"I'm eight!" The kid seemed to have no idea what's going on exactly or the state his parents are in, it almost seemed like this was normal to him.

"What's your name, mister? mine is Sorrel"

“.... Daryan. Daryan Crescend.” he said, ruffling the kids hair in a gentle way. “nice to meet, kid.” he smiled— good lord, where was he supposted to leave a 8 y/o orphan now? Could he even take the kid in with himself. Maybe- who knew? He certainly didnt. He had to stop to think for a bit. Nodding gently to himself before looking at the crime scene and then getting up and holding the kid up on his arms.

“... Do you have any else family, kid?” he questioned— he needed to know it, he couldnt leave the kid alone or in an orphanage, it was hell.

[thelullabyoftheshark]

And what made you change it? I just kinda thought you’d look better with it loose... Just my thought

( Sorry for being so obsessed with his hair, I just can’t help it 😭 )

“ i simply like it better this way. ”
