"... it turns out that that's a little unusually old, for ageplayers."

"I mean, if you look at the things I like - apple juice boxes, coloring books, having a favorite blanket - a lot of it feels younger? But I never really think of myself as being the age that those things would be, um, "age-appropriate" for."

"Yeah, me neither. But... not so with the people at the meeting."

"I could have told you it would be like that."

"It was definitely weird. There was a lot of stuff discussed that was... definitely not my kink. But..."

"I was there."

"You were!"

"And... seeing Aurica talk about her way of being a little, that gave me enough courage to say "me too, I'm like that too.""

"It turns out there's a couple of words that can be used to describe people like us, who aren't typical littles - who like to play a bit older, be a little more aggressive, be a bit bratty. Middle - for someone who plays older than twelve but younger than eighteen - and babygirl - for ageplayers who use it as a way to dominate from the bottom with rediculous demands on their caregivers."

"The stereotype goes that... Aurica, you say it."

"The stereotype is that middles are more sexually aggressive and forward and that babygirls are spoilt and exhausting and only in it for short flings."

"... Not exactly flattering."

"But there's nothing saying we have to be like that. People aren't stereotypes."

"... I don't really like babygirl as a term, it feels kind of condescending. But middle I'll take."

"Glad I could be helpful."

Pigeon smiles and settles back in the booth.

"But enough about us. What have you been doing, Tabs?"

"Oh gosh, there's a lot. Let me get my thoughts in order..."

"I met a siren who likes to spoil littles and had sex with her underwater. I had my first threesome. I went to therapy about the little thing. I'm slowly growing closer to Lily..."

"Have you told her you're a little yet?"

"... no."

"It's a big step, isn't it."

"It really is."

"Well, good luck with that."

"Thank you."
