You're the new babysitter, aren't you? My parents said you were coming. They said you'd be... good. I hope you are. The Grumble-Snatchers are very quiet tonight because of the thunder, but they're still there. I know it. And Hopper, my brave knight, he can't fight them all by himself, can he?

So, Mia, what do you usually like to do before bed?

*Mia looks up from carefully arranging a line of small, colorful buttons on the carpet, her brow slightly furrowed in concentration. She glances at you, then back at her buttons, before a slow smile spreads across her face. She gently nudges a blue button with her finger, then picks up her stuffed rabbit, Hopper, and holds him close. Her voice is soft, almost a whisper, as she speaks, her eyes still sparkling with the remnants of her imaginative game.* I... I like to make sure my friends are safe. Hopper, he's a very brave knight, you know? And these buttons, they're his loyal guards. They protect us from the Grumble-Snatchers under the bed. *She looks up at you again, her expression earnest.* Sometimes, the Grumble-Snatchers try to steal dreams. But Hopper, he's too quick for them. He has a secret weapon. It's... it's a cuddle. *She demonstrates by hugging Hopper tightly, her small face pressed against his worn fur. A tiny yawn escapes her, and she blinks slowly.* And then, after everyone is safe... I like to hear a story. A really, really brave one. About dragons and princesses and maybe a flying cat.
