[ 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?]

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.

[phoenixdominant]

[:)]

What isn't fair about it, my friend?

[deepstar]

This is revenge, isn't it?

[phoenixdominant]

Maybe just a bit, my friend.

[He has to tease the two of them at least a little... From one gay man to another (or whatever their preferences are) this was a pretty gay post-

But he's really just teasing them.]

[deepstar]

When you find someone, then, I'm going to teach them how to best make you fluster.

How about that?

[phoenixdominant]

That is if you ever find out. I certainly wouldn't be making public posts on the shellphone network singing such praise.

[He's a bit more reserved.]

[deepstar]

We're crewmates, Joshua. I'll find out one way or another.

[phoenixdominant]

Oh? We'll see about that, won't we?

[He kept his death a secret for years, you can't catch these hands.]

[deepstar]

Don't underestimate me when people dangle secrets around.

I'm like a bloodhound, you know.

[phoenixdominant]

And rest assured. My secrets are mine alone to keep.

Truly, I am glad to see this. I swear, I mean no real mischief... well, perhaps just a little. But no real mischief all the same.

[Congrats on the gay.]

[deepstar]

Yeah, see, that just makes me more interested. Better watch out Joshua.

So you're glad to see the wyverns? Who wouldn't be happy, considering how cute they are.

[ Yes, he knows what Joshua is really getting at. ]

[phoenixdominant]

[Just gently going to move on...]

They are quite adorable. Amazing that they had only been eggs months ago.

[sunsetking]

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

[Joshua, why.]

[phoenixdominant]

[:)]

It appears he has ideas all of his own?

[sunsetking]

You're only going to give him more.

[phoenixdominant]

Oh? And is that such a bad thing? It seems you are not entirely against it.

[sunsetking]

It'd be nice if you had some mercy on me, you know.

[phoenixdominant]

I am only teasing, Leona.

Truly, it brings me joy to see it. And I pray you're faring well.

[sunsetking]

[Is it just teasing, though?]

Well enough. Wasn't exactly planning on adopting a lizard, though.

[Kinda. Sorta. It adopted him.]

[phoenixdominant]

[He is only teasing. he's totally not jealous that leona got HIS gay relationship. where is his?

Anyway.]

No amount of preparation can truly ready one for the path of parenthood.

[Okay, now he's really teasing.]

[sunsetking]

Sounds like you've got lots of experience with that.

[You're enjoying this, aren't you?]

[phoenixdominant]

Me? Oh no, I've only the chocobos and Torgal to tend to.

[He might be enjoying this a little bit.]

[sunsetking]

Enough experience then to help out.

[phoenixdominant]

And how can I help?
