Stratts final test to see if she trusts someone enough to be around little grace is taking them into her office to talk while Grace is casually regressed and see how they react 😭
Yes!!!!!
Stratt's trust is slim with many as is. So the idea of someone being around Grace while he's in that smaller headspace? Oooh it is a HUGE test in trust!
Maybe she'll call them into her office, she does genuinely need a small meeting with them on reports buuut when they get there, Grace is also there, sitting beside Stratt's desk on his lil play mat, in his own little world.
Stratt is nonchalant, talking to the other as if nothing else was happening. But she's watching every single micro movement in the other person, seeing if they're making any faces that could be seen as "weirded out" or confused!
Of course Grace unknowingly helps out in the trust test when he tugs on Stratt's pant leg and Stratt just casually scoops him up onto her lap and continues her debating/showing them her tablet while Grace is just nuzzling his face into her shoulder because he just wanted Mama and the guest was like a phantom to him/he paid no mind to them ♡
