colliemommie: "Right of Way"
Returning to the characters from Mimsey's Tale

"I'm not six anymore," Caroline complained, as they walked along the street of the Awakened town. "You don't have to follow me everywhere."
"It's my job, ma'am," Mimsey said. "I'm sorry." Caroline was fifteen, biologically, plus 1,500 years of nanosleep.
"I'm just walking."
"I have to keep you safe."
"Oh, yeah?" Caroline paused as they came to the intersection. As the a delivery van approached the crosswalk, she dodged away from Mimsey and tried to jump out into the street.
Mimsey's paw shot out and clamped around her wrist like a vice, pulling her back. "I'm also much faster now."
