[ 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.

Worried they're gonna see you as the herbivore? I think their teeth might be more impressive, honestly.

[ Sylvain. Stop baiting the kitty cat. ]

[sunsetking]

Hardly. I'm not the one struggling to use a phone, you know. I'll be sure to send one your way to use you as a snack.

[Or throw you into the ocean. Leona won't hesitate.]

[philancer]

I have known these phones existed for all of three days. There's a learning curve.

[ That's not entirely true. From what he's been able to figure out, they function a little like the watches back at the resort. But Sylvain had never used those very much either, so... ]

I'd be worried about that threat, but it's hardly the first time a wyvern's taken a bite out of me. [ He had several scars to prove it. ]

[sunsetking]

It ain't that hard to figure out.

[Don't be so archaic, carrot-top.]

Oh good, that makes you the perfect candidate to adopt one then.

[philancer]

[ He can't help it, he comes from magical Victorian England, he has a lot to catch up on. ]

I dunno. They look pretty attached to you.

[sunsetking]

[Time to get to it, old man.]

Your eyes must not be working if you think you're seeing that.

[philancer]

They’re working just fine. If Claude is trusting you with baby wyverns, clearly he sees it, too.

[sunsetking]

Clearly you both need to get your eyesight checked.
