Bibrid is offered the opportunity to officially adopt Chance as their own child. Scramble was not interested in being adopted, ze saw the two traveling with them as beloved Untys. -- BKF
[AN: The plural of Unty (The nongender variant of Aunty or Uncle) should be "Unties", but it also looks like that thing you do when you loosen a knot. My compromise is leaving the Y alone, so I fixed that in this prompt. Also, Scramble in Nonbinary. I checked. Last installment was Trees in the Way ]
Civilisation was still doing what it did best - being messy and unnecessarily complicated. Specifically about who gets what and who gets tossed out of the town's walls. As always since the dawn of Humanity's entry to the Xenophobia Wars, the devilborn were more likely to get the short end of the proverbial stick.
Bibrid held Chance's hand a little tighter than normal. The little Hellkin sensed his trepidation and wrapped his other arm around Bibrid's.
Scramble knew too well what hir odds were as a traveling vagabond. A child vagabond, even dressed better and cared for, was still a vagabond. By civilisation's logic and reason, ze was also a criminal element. A 'fact' made worse by hir Hellkin company. Nevertheless, knowing how towns and cities operated, Scramble insisted on walking on Chance's other side.
