How is Kate? Does Mira plan on getting her a speech therapist or getting a (deaf) teacher in to teach her sign language? Or maybe just nonverbal communication?
"Actually... Kate is semi-verbal now," Mira explains.
Kate holds up a juice box to her, the straw in one hand and the box in the other.
"You want help?" The older woman asks, a soft smile on her lips.
Kate nods, her black hair bouncing.
Mira chuckles.
"Alright, sweetheart..." She whispers, helping pierce the straw into the juice box.
Kate gasps, smiling. She eagerly accepts the small juice box, excitedly tapping her feet.
"Thank!" She giggles, taking a big sip of her drink.
Mira clears her throat.
"We've been working with a speech therapist for most of her time here, actually," Mira explains. "And she knows some ASL, too. And has other ways of communicating her needs, too - as she just demonstrated."

[The doorbell rings]
Kids: (gasps) That’s her!
[Pandora and Daniel are the first to open the door]
Bombus: Hi, kids!
Pandora, Daniel: Hi!
Mira: Hey, Bomby!
Bombus: Hi, Mira.
Kids: (giggle as Mira wags her tail in front of them)
Mira: It’s good to see you!
Bombus: Yeah, you too.
Mira: Kids, this is your Auntie Bombus.
Bombus: Oh, you’ve grown so much! Daniel, you look just like your mother.
Daniel: I do?
Pandora: Who do I look like?
Bombus: You look.. just like..
Mira: You.
-
Bombus: I hope they fit, I wasn’t sure how much they’ve grown in..um..
Mira: nine years.
Pandora: Hey, mine’s too small!
Daniel: And mine’s too big!
Mira: Well, then swap them around.
Pandora: Can you make my cheetah onesie fit me?
Mira: Sorry, Dora. If it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t fit.
Pandora: Aww, but I want the cheetah!
Mira: It’s not meant to be, kid.
Pandora: (sadly) Okay.
Bombus: They’re beautiful.
Mira: It’s been too long.
Bombus: I know…

Incorrect quote!
Tw for mention of mental health and panic attacks
Nico: Toby, what are you doing here, and-! Who is this? What even is this place?!
Toby: Nico, if you could just-!
Mira: Tobias, it's okay. You're in a safe place here. And Nico? Stop pressuring him. He can't answer if you keep doing that.
[Nico closes his mouth and falls quiet. Mira nods]
Mira: thank you. Now, Toby?
[Toby takes a deep breath]
Toby: Nico, Doctor Baudelaire is my therapist. She helps me with my mental health.
Mira: Toby has been seeing me twice a month for the past few years. Sometimes more than that, but that's the baseline.
Nico: ...go on.
Toby: my normal appointment isn't for another week, but...
[Toby takes a deep breath. Nico puts a hand on his back to comfort him]
Toby: ...the other day, when I was on a job, I... had a panic attack. And... a pretty bad one, at that.
[He tries to laugh]
Toby: so... I had to see her for an emergency visit. Just to, you know, touch base and get myself sorted.
Mira: He's really quite good when it comes to our visits and his emotional regulation.
[Toby nods. Nico looks at him, concerned]
Nico: Toby... I'm so sorry. But why didn't you tell me? I could've helped you-!
[Toby groans. He rubs his face with his hand in frustration. He has a few jerk-like tics and makes a popping sound with his mouth]
Mira: Toby, remember: we use our words.
Toby: right, doc. Anyway...
[He turns to Nico]
Toby: Nico... babe, I didn't tell you because whenever I had one previously, you'd just... treat me with kid gloves.
Nico: what? No, I didn-!
[Mira holds a hand up]
Mira: Nico, this is Toby's time to talk. You’ll have your turn. Let him do so.
[Nico nods]
Nico: right, sorry. Go on, Tobes.
Toby: ...thank you. As I was saying... when I told you about them before, you'd just... act like I was fragile - as if I'd break if you even touched me wrong. And so... I just didn't.
[Toby sighs. He knows what he's done is kinda fucked up]
Toby: whenever I'd have one - and you weren't around? - I'd phone Mira and have a session. I'd just... bottle it up and not let you know.
[Nico's eyes well up. Toby looks shocked]
Toby: Oh, babe... no, I'm so sorry...
Nico: honey... I've been worried about you for months. I was terrified that you'd... started... again. Or if, you know, you were coming off of your meds for some reason. Or - whatever. I don't know. And it's been driving me crazy.
Toby: it has?
Nico: every night, Tobes.
Mira: Toby, now you talk.
[Toby takes a deep breath]
Toby: I understand that you have been... concerned about me. And I apologise for not telling you sooner...
[Mira nods. Toby goes on]
Toby: ...but, I cannot deal with you patronising me - or, or making me feel like I'll break if you say the wrong thing.
Nico: Okay. I'm sorry for... Well, for making you feel like that. I... I don't see you as this, this... breakable thing. I just... I love you, Toby. And I want to keep you safe.
Toby: I love you too, babe. But, I've had panic attacks before, and I'll very likely have them again.
[Toby takes another deep breath]
Toby: I don't need you to protect me from them. I just need you to help me feel present when I do have them. I need to feel heard, not just seen.
Mira: this is good. Really good. I feel like we've really started a dialogue here. Now, Mister Di Angelo, if you will: I, for one, would adore finishing my session with Toby.
[Nico looks at Toby. Toby grins nervously]
Toby: I won't be too long.
Nico: alright.
Mira: Oh, and if you just have a word with Cookie - up at the desk, I can try and squeeze the two of you in for a couple's session next week.
Nico: couples session? Like, counselling? Isn't that for, like, failing marriages?
Mira: Oh, heavens, no. Look, couples therapy and couples counselling can help you both keep on top of your mental healths. It provides you with a safe space to discuss your feelings, and a third party to allow for any outside opinions. Even my husband and I have our own counsellor. It just... helps make sure you're both on the same page, alright?
Toby: alright, Doctor B!
[Nico nods]
Nico: Yeah, alright.
[Toby pecks Nico on the cheek]
Nico: see you in... half an hour?
Toby: maybe even less.

Zalgo, interrogating Mira: where is the Patron's manor, you little harlot-esque cretin?
Mira, tied in a chair and staying completely calm: Okay, first of all, it's pronounced "cree-tin". If you're gonna threaten me, do it properly.

no, i’m not obsessed. /hj
the Ciero headcanons (because oh my god, what have you put in this character @eldritch-hall-asylum)
✩ making Ciero go nonverbal/semi-verbal is a task that’s hard to accomplish but does happen. they often go nonverbal/semi-verbal from being overstimulated/overwhelmed, and takes a while for them to come out of it
✩ Ciero is typically hyper-verbal, so any time spend with her is just ramble ramble ramble! can’t get a word in edgewise, she can and will chat your ear off!
✩ some of her many special interests are honeybees, aesthetics (cottagecore especially, but ethereal and fairycore make an appearance, too!) and mythical creatures! sometimes they’ll incorporate their SpIns into their outfits (like bee pins, or something)
✩ Ciero’s buildings in minecraft are like LDShadowlady’s, if you get????? very mythical and aesthetically pleasing yk (i wanna rewatch shadowcraft now…)
✩ absolutely loves plants and flowers! she could ramble for days (and will if you let her) on the different types of flowers and plants, her favourite plants/flowers, etc.!
✩ Ciero spends most of their time in Patrick’s lap. like, playing minecraft? in his lap. Pat’s trying to work (keyword: trying)? in his lap. stimming? in his lap (with Pat rocking them both). at a fancy restaurant? in his lap. yk?
✩ Ciero and Mira have tons of banter. but they do care about each other! lots of platonic ‘i love you’s and such <3
might add more,, might not

Incorrect Jam quote! Feat: their first time. Nothing graphic, just comedy.
Tw for mentions of sexual health and nakedness.
[After the first time Jay and Tim had sex. The two are cuddling together, with Tim's head on Jay's chest]
Jay: that was nice…
Tim: Yeah?
Jay: Yeah. Only problem is there's a bit of a mess down there now.
Tim: Yeah. Oh… yeah. 
[Tim grimaces]
Jay: still… I had fun. 
[Tim smiles and closes his eyes]
Tim: me too…
[He nestles closer. Then, he opens his eyes in realisation and practically leaps out of bed]
Tim: Oh my god! We had sex without a condom!
Jay: Tim, I-!
Tim: you're probably gonna wind up pregnant!
Jay: if you could just let me-!
Tim: Oh, God… how could I be so stupid?!
Jay: Tim, I'm on-!
[Tim runs out of the room, no clothes on]
Tim: Mira!!
[He runs right to Mira's office]
Tim: Mira! I did a bad thing.
Mira: Tim, why are you naked?
[Tim begins pacing around her office]
Tim: Jay and I were just making out, and-and then it became more than making out, and then I had my junk out, and before I knew it, we had sex! 
Mira: ... and…?
Tim: and I didn't use a condom, Doc! That's what!
Mira: Okay, wow. Tim, you have a right to be worried. Teen pregnancy is a concern, as are STDs, and condoms are a way of preventing both of these things. However, so is the hormonal Borth control pill.
Tim: and?
Mira: and, did you also know that Jay is on birth control?
Tim: I'm sorry, he's fuckin' what?
Mira: He's on Lutera. Has been since he was fifteen. Also, put on some pants - or your pyjamas, or something! So, you have nothing to worry about as it currently stands.
Tim: Oh… okay, good!
Mira: do you want me to send Octavian out for some condoms?
Tim: …yes please.
Mira: of course, sweetheart.

Mira: Being a parent's tough.
Shadow: So is drawing.
Mira: Yeah, so is drawing. But, listen, how many times have you banged your knee or scratched yourself playing with your dad?
Shadow: um...
[FLASHBACK]
Charles: No ticket!
[Shadow shrieks and giggles. Then, he bumps on the couch]
Shadow: Argh!
Charles: Whoop! Ooh! You right, mate?
Shadow: Um, yeah, I just banged my knee.
[ANOTHER FLASHBACK]
Charles: I am sick of this boomerang!
[Ben shrieks
END FLASHBACK]
Shadow: Lots.
Mira: And what's the first thing he always says?
Shadow: Um...
[FLASHBACK]
Charles: Don't tell your mum.
[END FLASHBACK]
Mira: What?!
[Shadow giggles. Charles slides into frame]
Charles: It's Dad!
[Mira growls]
Charles: Uh, I'll come back later.

Charles: love, why are you so upset with Amber and that boy she's been seeing?
Mira: Oh, please, darling. I've seen his type of boy before; they're not good for our little girl.
Charles: ..."boys like him"?
Mira: you know... the kind that acts all sweet, but is really...
[She can't finish her thought]
Mira: ...the kind of boy that leaves a girl feeling empty and used up.
[Charles gives her a hug]
Charles: Oh, honey. I know you've went through a lot.
[Mira nods. She leans into her husband's touch]
Charles: but, don't you feel that there is even a chance - as small as it may be - that Piotr may actually... enjoy Amber's company?
Mira: no! Because if a boy like him can... can use a girl like her, then she could wind up as... as a woman like me...

It is easy to tell when Charles has had a bad day, because he will be located on his wife's lap, purring contently.
It is also easy to tell when Mira's day has been shitty, because she will be sat in a pond, all furry and monster-like, just trying to collect her thoughts.
