That's a hell of an accusation. Why don't we all sit down inside, I'll make you both hot cocoa and we'll talk this through.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?... Look, if you try to hurt her, you're gonna lose. Lose bad. So let's try this another way.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I think it's time for you to sleep.
-Eyes flash, then she scoops her up in one motion, carrying her to a bed upstairs-
-Shutting the door once she's back out into the hallway-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Gracia, big heavy duty torchlight in her hand, steps out-
Solace...?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
...
-Steps out further, shining that torch around-
-You're okay, you're fine, you have light-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-i'm your friend i'm not your only friend but i'm a little glowing friend but i'm not actually-

-...you get the idea, Gracia!-
-And come on, how bad and it be anyway?-
[forum cryptid: it/it's]-She steps into the treeline, into the forest-
Solace...!
It's dark and you're not anywhere I can see and I can't sleep and everyone else is sleeping and I need you to be there if I am going to sleep please...
-Nervous yammering-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Awww...-
Awww...
-She steps over to it-
-Squatting down a comfortable distance from it-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Gracia froze up, going dead quiet, knees locking up, staring at the hand-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-The hand spread out, fingers uncurling, and it snatched up the rabbit deftly, like a Disneyland employee scooping up trash: quickly, and with a sort of casual appeal to the situation, like it had never been there even in the first place-
-Clamping the thumb over the rabbit's mouth, the arm brought it back up into the trees-
-Judging by the sound of that crunch, Gracia, it would probably be better not to think about what just happened to that poor little bunny-
[forum cryptid: it/it's]-She manages to act, but said act takes the form of a tiny whimper-
-Hunching down-
Nnh...!
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Gracia yelps, rolling onto her side in a flurry of limbs, scrambling away-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?"Hm! I have seen you before, I thought so! It was...hrm." Tracey said as she straightened up, putting a hand to her chin as she thought.
"Oh, my. I don't think we were ever properly introduced then, dear! I don't recall your name at all! My mind, a steel trap for all the literary fact in the world, and I forget to ask everyone's name!"
[forum cryptid: it/it's]D-don't eat me!
-Manages to scurry onto her feet, trying to run-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She flees behind a tree, trying to get her bearings back, find the way home-
-Realises she's dropped her torch-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Okay, that's it, where's your mother, I'm having a word with her.
