[ Initially, only Claude's face appears on the feed, alongside is wyvern. She is resting her chin on his shoulder and that hand of his is giving her a pat pat pat. So much patting. ]

I'm sure you all remember me talking about this several moons ago, but hey! The time finally came. I was starting to get a little worried, considering I have no clue what the incubation time for wyvern eggs are here. Everything went smoothly though, I promise. They actually hatched a few days ago, but I wanted to give them some time.

[ Now the video feed shifts, away from Khalid and Azita, and onto the little baby wyverns. Special guest star Leona is also present, already holding a small lizard in his arms. Seems like it's already attached. There's another one, in Claude's arm. ]

Leona and I are going to be co-parenting these kids for a little while so -

[ Unfortunately, Claude gets cut off. With Leona shoving the man's face, ears folded back. ]

Don't say it like that.

[ Too bad Khalid is unbothered, catching Leona's hand and winking. ]

Sorry, gorgeous. I meant co-parenting the hatchlings. [ Another laugh and moving right along. He's looking at the camera once more, ignoring the grumbling from behind him. ] As you all can probably tell, one little one is spoken for. I don't know about this one, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Ironic that they'd hatch while we're having issues with wild wyverns.

[Oh my god they're adorable quick claude before alhaitham can stop him--]

Oh, goodness! They're so charming!

[HE NEEDS SEVEN.

But--pause. Rewind. Enhance.]

Are you sure you two will be alright though? Parenting may not be a two person job. Frankly, I'm not sure it's a four and a half person job.

[He's never really sure if Faruzan is helping or hindering.]

[deepstar]

Aren't they just?

[ He's coo-ing the one that's resting with him. ]

Oh worry more about Leona than me. I had Azita since she was a hatchling. If there's something I'm familiar with, it's how much trouble we're actually in for.

[empyrean_mirror]

I think if they stress him out, I'm still worried for you for reasons that have very little to do with the hatchlings.

[Sir he's going to kill you.]

[sunsetking]

Ain’t the worst thing to deal with.

[He grumbles.]

Come adopt one.

[empyrean_mirror]

I'd love to, but I'm not the one you need to convince about that.

[He laughs a little bit. yeah good luck with that, Leona.]

[philancer]

[ Sylvain is still trying to figure out how these strange devices work. They'd had something similar back at the resort, but he'd never used them much there, either> As it is, his video reply probably starts far too close to his face before he fumbles with it and adjusts it back to where his face can actually be seen. ]

Wait, you hatched baby wyverns here? Aww, they're cute.

[deepstar]

[ He'll help you out, Gautier. All you have to do is ask. ]

It was a complete and total accident. I had no idea the dragons of this world would be. Ah. Compatible.

[philancer]

[ He's not that desperate yet.

Still, the way Claude phrases that has him laughing. ]

I'm sure that discovery was... enlightening.

[sunsetking]

[Leona holds back a snort.]

Come adopt one.

Action;

[sunsetking]

You really got a way of announcing things, don’t you?

[Leona sighs, not even minding when the little one in his arms croons and presses her head more against his chest.]

[deepstar]

Maybe.

[ Sorry. Time to bring that hand to his mouth and give it a kiss. ]

You kind of knew what you were getting into here.

[bloodthirstydawn]

Careful. Moody cats eat lizards smaller than them. So if one goes missing....

[Just saying]

[deepstar]

Thanks, but I think it would be the other way around. If a baby goes missing then he'll probably go missing.

[sunsetking]

Don’t say that about Kirara. She gets fed well.

[How dare you, pup.]

[octoblot]

[Oh, interesting. Azul has never really seen baby wyverns up close before, so seeing them like this is fascinating, and he can't help the amused snort upon Leona appearing on camera with one in his arms. To think that Leona of all people would end up having a lizard becoming attached to him, Malleus or others from Diasomnia would probably have a field day teasing Leona for that one if they were here to see it... alas, he'll have to do it himself it seems...

... And then Azul's eyebrows go shooting up a fair bit on his face here upon witnessing the exchange between Leona and Khalid... huh?]

My, it seems like you two have quite a lot on your hands here.

[deepstar]

Oh it's not nearly as bad as what people think. Right now they are small so even if they have a lot of energy, they are still tiny.

It's when they get toddler sized that you start to have issues.

[sunsetking]

Don't you dare mention any of this to anyone back home if they come here.

[Or he'll turn you into a skewered octopus.]

[hellofishies]

Congratulations!!

[ She's clapping so enthusiastically for this. So terribly enthusiastically. ]

It's a real fairytale! Are they hard to take care of?

[sunsetking]

No idea, ask the expert here.

[...How...very enthusiastic.]

[deepstar]

Maybe for someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Or hasn't been around wyverns too much.

text;

[phoenixdominant]

[Oh?]

I was not aware this was a romantic endeavour. In that case, allow me to extend my congratulations to you both.

[:)]

[deepstar]

I can't tell if you are teasing because of you using text. That's not very fair, Joshua.

[sunsetking]

...Don't go giving the guy more ideas in his head.

[Joshua, why.]

[velocityraptor]

Oh they're really cute!

[ Hawks will just admire them from afar, they look like they breathe fire, if what he knows about dragons is true and he is pretty flammable. ]

[deepstar]

Aren't they just? I really can't wait to see what they become when they grow up.
