Summary
He meets her for the first time in the kitchen of her house, her left hand clutching a velveteen teddy bear, her right hand rubbing at her sleepy two-year-old eyes. With her pupils wide from the darkness, she watches him surprisingly expectantly while he silently bursts black from his elbows to the tips of his claws to silence her.
“Mama said the tooth faery’s a lady.” Her complaint is accompanied by a tilting of her head, not unlike a bird. “You don’t look like a lady. But here’s my tooth.” Lifting her arm she unfurls her fingers to reveal a pearly white thing in the centre of her creased palm. “Where are my cenz?”
“How many?”
She squints at him. “You don’t know how much you’re s’posed to pay for tooths?” A pause. He shifts his weight forward, bends his right knee, curls his left claws at just the right angle to disembowel her. “I think it’s like half a cen.”
