"It'll grow up to be a monster, Sammy. But..." Lauren sighed, dropping the gun in her backpack, "Fine. Only keep it until morning though." She asserted, nodding at Nathan. If it was anyone else, the little critter would be mush by now.

The little watchman's head rose out of Sammy's arms and it let out a cute growl that sounded somewhat like a purr. John scratched underneath it's chin, chuckling to himself as the small creature continued it's purr-growling. "See, he's not that bad! Laurie, c'mon."

Lauren reluctantly started to pet the watchman's head as John took his hand away, and for a minute everything seemed to be going well. Riiight up until the pup sunk it's teeth into her finger, making two little bloody spots. Baby or not, that was uncalled for! "Hey! It singled me out, that ain't fair!" She cried, falling out of her usually cold and serious attitude. Still... She had to admit, it was pretty cute for a mutant.
