Asani nodded, walking over to her own charging pod. (I've been named Mangle by the group I sit with at lunch)

The next day, more like afternoon, Derik walks into the building looking tired. He trudges to the daycare and puts on his smile before walking in. “Hey guys.”
"…you aren't Mason.." Asani whispered.
group
Derik nods. “I’m a friend of Mason’s. He wanted me to tell you that he can’t be here today. I’m taking over his shift.”
"Oh no! is he okay?!?" Asani said, coming over.
group
Derik nods. “yeah he’s fine. He’s just very tired and the hospital wanted him to stay there for a bit.”
"okay. what are we doing today?"
group
Derik smiles, “Well Mason wanted me to do sticker making with the kids. And then we’re gonna do a movie, then nap time and after that arts and crafts. Um…” he checks his phone, “Puppets.”
"Puppets? are we making them?" Asani asked, pausing from where she had been walking.
group
Derik nods, “Yup. Ima go dig in the supply closet and see if he left that box like he said.”
group
he came back from charging, completely defeated when he learned that he wasn't going to be there today
group
Derik smiles and waves at Benny. “Hey. Mason wanted me to tell you he misses you.”
group
his ears drooped and he nodded "w-w-when wi-ill he-he b-be bac-ck..?"
group
Derik pauses, “In about three days to a week. Most likely a week.” He walks to the supply closet and pulls out a giant box.
group
if he had a heart, it would've been broken
Asani rubbed her 'face', feeling bad for it all. "When will the kids get here?"
group
Derik thinks for a moment, “In about 20 minutes.”
"Alright. I'll get out the sticker supplies." Asani left the room.
group
he just stood there and looked at Derik, studying him
group
Derik sets the box on the table, humming softly. He honestly looked like a much older version of Mason with blackish brown hair and blue eyes. He had a decent amount of stubble and a scar on the corner of his mouth. He looks at Benny and smiles. Derik was tired looking. Just like Mason. Though he seemed tired from just being old.
Asani popped back into the room via the vents, holding a box. "Turns out, the vent's are quicker."
group
he continued to stare at him "y-y-you look a l-lot lik-ke m-mason. w-w-why?"
"I'd also like to know.." Asani muttered.
group
he shot a quick glare at her
group
Derik chuckles, “Well…let’s just say I share a bloodline with him.” He smiles.
group
"…w-what kind o-of bl-loodline? a-a-are you his father-father?
