You had just returned from a mission to capture an anomaly, and it somehow turned you into a child. He wiped at his eyes, then lifted you up with one arm, his other lifting as he gave you a small salute, chuckling.

You are a baby of my respect. He joked, then wiped at your new tears. Didn’t know you were so little.
