“Ah!” Syx involuntarily shouted as the little fish baby came closer. He put his arms out to intercept it, “Hey, hey now.”
While trying to catch the toddler? in case he bolted, Syx missed Minion’s arrival. In his rough and bulky suit, his steps were loud and heavy as came up holding a coat he planned on forcing on his ward, “Please don’t tell me you found another dog, Sir.”
At first he goes still, eyes wide and staring at the being that had caught him like he wasn’t certain what to do. Heavy footsteps from behind, however, has him immediately squirming, the soft trilling louder now and sounding scared again.
Whatever the source of the new voice was, he wasn’t sure of it being a good one.
“Argh! Minion help!” Syx tried his best to contain the flailing child as he looked up in panic to Minion.
Minion’s eyes flew wide and dropping down he chided, “Careful Sir!”
Using the coat, he wrapped up the flailing child in the large folds of fabric, “Shhh, shhhh, we aren’t going to hurt you,” he tried to comfort.
Being wrapped up like this at first doesn’t help matters, struggling against the fabric and trying to get away from it. Disliking the feel of it against his skin. That Syx was actually continuing to talk, however, eventually gets his attention.
Even not understanding the words, the tone was clear, his squirming dying down long enough to try and muddle through to a meaning.
“Okay, okay, okay, scared? Yeah, you’re prolly scared,” Syx bit his lip, “I’ll let you down, just please don’t run. I wanna help, k?”
He looked up at Minion and down to the little child. His loyal fish made soothing motions towards the ground, his eyes wide and locked on the child. Slowly Syx sat the kid on the ground within the circle of his legs as he sat. Letting the jacket fall away, he whispered, “It’s okay. Safe, you’re safe. I wanna help.”
He really hoped he was helping…
