Challenge #05027-M278: Little Devilborn, Lost

The human child was young, lost, and scared. Then a raven alighted upon their shoulder and gently, through soft pecks and the occasional hopping on the ground to lead, helped the child back to the Inn where their parents had taken up residence until hir mother gives birth to their sibling. -- BKF

The city was big and pretty and smelly and very, very distracting. Bug had slipped from Mama's hand, just for a moment, to look at something bright and shiny. And then? Well... They kind of lost track. Of Mama, of Ninin, of where they said they were going. Or where Bug should go if they got lost.

Bug put their thumb in their mouth for comfort and tried as hard as a four-year-old could try to get found. Those efforts did not last long because a big, pretty city had lots of things to pull Bug's attention away from their task.

Musicians, street magicians, mimes, and glittery displays all pulled Bug away from what they should be doing. Even from the main road that Bug should be walking along.
