Road block

Scampering along one ran into Him, quite literally.

May one go to the bathroom please?

Hmm He said thoughtfully, as his arms made a prison around one's good self. How badly do you need to go?

Umm... pretty bad

Bad enough to pee on the carpet if I hold you here He enquired

Bad enough that one should have asked in the very beginning, rather than reading to the end of the chapter

Damn it! Forward planning is the only answer around here, otherwise stuff like this happens and you are left squirming as He thinks about things, while holding you in place.
