"You know what, Gianna, I should've been angry that mum and dad decided to leave us here alone."
Tanith held the tiny baby as far away from her face as possible. Her arms were totally straight. Her nose crinkled up in absolute disgust.
Gianna just sniffled loudly. A huge tear rolled down her chubby cheek. She looked exactly like she understood every single word Tanith was saying, even though she was just a tiny toddler who didn't understand shit.
The baby let out a tiny, sad hiccup.
"Don't give me those big eyes," Tanith groaned. She looked away, refusing to let the puppy dog look completely melt her fierce heart. "I'm serious. They left us to run this entire magic forest. They get to go live in a fancy human city with shiny cars and endless pizza. We literally read about pizza in a book once. It sounds amazing. And what do I get? I get swamp duty."
A loud, completely disgusting squelch sound came from Gianna's diaper.
Toxic.
Tanith actually gagged.
