"Yeah," Isaac replied softly. "Go back to sleep."

Back in Zidonia, it was daytime and Lulu was playing with Star outside.

She would pick up a toy and move it around as Star's eyes followed it everywhere, and brighter ones were especially effective.

As her eyes darted around, her lips would part from time to time, baring the little teeth that just grew out.

She tended to drool perhaps because of that, and Lulu wiped her mouth while fastening a napkin around her neck. She would change it once it got wet too, or Star's skin might get red.

Babies' skin could be delicate and must be kept dry or rashes would easily occur.

Such was how meticulously Lulu was taking care of Star, and the baby was putting on weight too.

Her little cheeks were white and fair, making her especially adorable.

"I did," Lulu replied.

"Where's my breakfast?" Vivian quickly asked.

"Mr. Slate asked me to babysit Star, not to be his maid," Lulu retorted. "What does your breakfast have to do with me?"

Vivian was stumped and flushed but soon came up with an excuse. "You should make breakfast for me if you're making it for yourself. I didn't demand that you make it for me—you could've just made an extra portion while you were at it!"
