Tohma watched as the days passed, most of the time the baby was preoccupied but every now and again she would glance up at Tohma with large eyes that shamed the ocean, sometimes she'd reach out for him and mostly he would ignore her. He was a Nova-Star Child not a human babysitter.
It was odd, the baby was so quiet compared to the ones he'd seen in the Circlet Way-Water. What was more curious was the more days that passed the more she seemed to see him, he noted that in the report.

Time moved differently between them though, even if only a week passed it merely felt like hours. In those hours while Tohma watched keenly at the little baby Chloe, he felt exhausted seeing the adults around her bustling about.
As Tohma had assumed it didn't take long before Chloe's guardian Angel had appeared by her crib, the Angel didn't exactly look how he'd imagined.

"Tohma? The Discordant Nova-Star child?"
"That's me."
The Angel nodded curtly towards him, the energy in the air sending shivers down his spine.

"Your eldest sister Lilao, already informed me of the situation. I understand you are here to observe and watch over my subject but please refrain from any interaction."

Tohma chuckled a little catching the Angels attention, who raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Something humorous about my request?"
"Quite actually."

The Angel watched as Tohma pointed towards the crib where the once asleep baby was now wide awake, staring up at the angelic being. Flinching at the sight and mumbling,

"How can this be? A child with the ability to see us? It's..."
"Unheard of? I was rather surprised myself. She doesn't seem entirely ordinary."

A sudden scroll appeared in the air in front of the Angel who scanned through it, glancing up between Chloe and Tohma before stepping back.
"She is not of Fae, she has no angelic ties nor Nova-Star bonds. Chloe is of no magic known, completely natural yet...she can see us."

Tohma came closer to the crib and gently let the baby take his finger with an immense grip to the Angels shock, he didn't seem bothered though and just smiled.

"She can...hold onto you? This...this is not normal, I've never had a subject like this before. I must report this at once!"
"Do so if you must but it won't change anything."

Tohma felt the Angel glare at him before he continued on, asking.

"What do you suppose will happen once you report it? They'll send a Changeling to take her place? Or perhaps you'll have a Demon cause an 'accident' so all our existences stay secret?"
"And what would you suggest?"

He thought for a moment, that was all he could do. No immediate cause of action before noticing Chloe starting to suck her thumb, her cheeks turning a rosy colour. 
"We watch and observe, interact as little as possible and see what happens. It could be a phase."

Of course, he felt the sceptical eyes on him but shortly after the silence passed, the Angel sighed heavily as if carrying a million weights.

"Fine, I will return shortly."
"Where are you going?"

The Angel paused at the window, smiling back warmly to Tohma. 

"Until my subject is in need of me, I shall watch from afar. Limit interaction as you suggested, farewell Tohma."
He watched curiously when the Angel suddenly stepped off the ledge and disappeared like a vanishing magic trick, kissing his teeth as he sat by Chloe's crib muttering. 

"More like dumping your job on me."

Tohma breathed out so gently it wouldn't make a candle flicker, looking over at the baby and feeling something in his chest. Rubbing her head and mumbling to himself,

"Don't worry Squishy, I won't let them do anything to you."

From that day he watched over Chloe through the long nights and busy days, when she would watch princess movies on repeat and fuss for her bottle.

A year passed by and just a week before her birthday Tohma received a scroll. 

The Cherry string bearer connected to Chloe is born, return at once. 

No...
