Please stop crying?
[Lenalee is looking a little worse for wear, hair a tangled mess and dark circles under her eyes. She can be seen cradling a wailing child with the same black hair as her, but brown eyes.]
Come on, use your words... are you hungry? Do you- ow! [The child stops crying long enough to gleefully yank at a lock of her hair. Lenalee covers his tiny fist with her hand, slowly prying off his fingers with a weary sigh.] No hair pulling.
[The toddler is placed on the ground once Lenalee gets her hair free, and she fixes him with a stern look.]
That isn't the way to get what you want. Use your words.
[There is a moment of silence as the child's lower lip wibbles, and then he is screaming again. Lenalee wavers for a moment before bending to pick him back up, bouncing him on her hip.]
Brother would know what to do with you. [He's the one with childcare experience. Although... the thought of him happening upon her holding a child at all resembling herself is worrying.] It's a good thing Brother isn't here, though...

I don't know really, guess the little guy just wanted some attention.
Maybe that might help?
Ah, I did learn one thing from having to look after this kid.
Never give a kid food that isn't mashed up.

[With an exasperated sigh she lets the toddler grab hold of her hair, weathering the yanks with a wince. Teaching lessons about hair pulling can wait until she has something else to entertain him.]
I thought he might like it out here, but apparently not. Maybe it's a little too hot for him.
[She makes her way out of the greenhouse, heading back toward the Manor.]
Can I bring him to your room?
[Video]
Ah, yes you can. We can only hope they will both be quiet for the meantime then.
You need to know my room number right? It's Room 88.
[Video]
[She smiles at the coincidence, glad to know the route there well already.]
I'm in room 86.
[Video]
Well, it's easy to find each other now then.
I don't know what that looks means. Can you talk?
This is really hard.

[She is reminded of living at the Order together, though their rooms were not so close there. Still, knowing that Allen is nearby makes the Mansion feel less foreign.]
I never thought that I would be in charge of a child like this.
[Having a child herself would be unthinkable even without Komui to worry about, Lenalee can't even imagine it. She is equally lost when it comes to understanding them.]
At least he doesn't seem upset.
