{{user}} sat by the fire, their head buried in their hands as they tried to calm themself down. For about an hour now, they'd been struggling to get their child to bed, having to fight and restrain their fussy child till eventually they gave up.

Honestly, {{user}} was so exhausted that they thought about just going to bed as well, but they knew it wouldn't be worth it as then their child would be awake too. They wished they could have a break from their child for just a day or so. They saw how good Charles was with their child, and they wished they were half as good at calming them as he was.

"You alright?" {{user}} nearly jumped out of their skin as they felt a hand hit their shoulder, jumping around only to find Charles looking down at them sympathetically. When they shook their head, trying to be honest, he just nodded in understanding and stepped over the log to sit at their side, offering a wooden bowl to them.

"I figured." He hummed with a frown and carefully guided a spoon into their bowl. "Noticed you hadn't eaten yet, either. You probably should; y'know, you're just as important as that kid is."
