Re: Venturing out into the world: Marta / Seven
[Marta's too careful when helping Seven get the sling adjusted, but she does help, even if she's certain to not touch any more than she needs to. She watches her hands closely, making sure that she's not doing anything that will harm either Seven or the baby. And the quick step back is a continuation of that.
But once she's a distance away that seems "safe" to her, she stands still again and watches Seven adjust the sling. She's never put it on herself, and it's a process that's both foreign and fascinating. Especially the way that the baby almost seems to settle more once it's cradled close to his body. Without her even thinking about it, she smiles the tiniest bit - more the hint of it than a true expression. But it's there in the uncertain lines of her expression. She likes seeing him with the baby, even if she can't be part of it.]
You're good at that. [She's quiet, the verbal equivalent of how tiny her smile was.]
