-can you smile for Momma? Can you? Oh that's a beautiful smile, now hold it-

[You are being treated to a quick snap of baby Noah Wolfwood, now eight weeks old, smiling at the camera and looking generally adorable with his little tufts of jet black hair and big blue eyes. The sound of the baby cooing happily can also be easily heard, as can the sound of him being kissed noisily by his doting mother.]

I just can't believe he's already eight weeks old, it seems to have gone by so fast which is funny when I haven't slept through an awful lot of it but that's all changing now because Mr. Noah here is finally learning that Momma and Daddy need to sleep at night too so they can play with him properly, aren't you bubba? And he's getting so big! he can't fit into any of the things he had when we first brought him home, it's a shame really because a lot of them were awfully cute, but we just have to go out and get him more and hope he doesn't grow out of them too fast.

[Yet more kissing and happy cooing.]

Anyway! It looks like there's an awful lot of New Feathers arriving again so I just wanted to say hello and welcome to Luceti, and I hope you won't be too upset about being here. I know it's a terrible shock to arrive here all alone and with wings of all things, and a lot of strange and sometimes scary things can happen, but there are also a lot of very good things and wonderful, kind people here, so please don't be afraid to make the best of it.

Action

[Milly and Noah are going to be out and about shopping with the pram, stop and say hi... and be prepared to have your ear talked off because Milly's just about the proudest and most talkative new mother you'll ever meet.]

Aw, don't forget about poor Uncle Vash with that sleeping! Noah seems to have Wolfwood's lungs when it comes to screaming and crying after all.

[Voice]

[stungunning]

Uncle Vash seems to get enough naps in when everyone else is awake with the baby so it's not like he's losing out on all that much sleep~

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

EH!? What!? Aw! Come on, Milly! I help out! [Even if what you said is completely true.]

[inheavenslight]

[Luce is surprised to see a pram in this town, and is actually very curious. The man tries to sneak a little closer to see if there is in fact a baby in it.]

[Action]

[stungunning]

[That... sure is a grown man she's never met before creeping towards her baby's pram.

Protective Mamabear senses tingling.]

Hello.

[She has her eye on you pal B| ]

Re: [Action]

[inheavenslight]

Hello. Why is there a baby here? I didn't think that group would kidnap a baby. [As Luce decides to just ask. Not because he thinks she is suspicious, but because he has zero tact.]

[echotaker]

Now, that is an adorable little kidlet.

[Michael grins, unable to hide his glee.]

Healthy, too!

[video]

[stungunning]

Oh, thank you!

[She nuzzles his pudgy little cheek and laughs.]

He's pretty terrific, I like to think.

[video]

[echotaker]

Aren't they all? Be warned though, in two years times he'll have other ideas.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

Just get him clothes two sizes bigger. If it looks too bad you can just do a quick fix so it seems smaller and undo it as he grows. Or just don't get him anything, babies need diapers and warm blankets to protect them, not "cute" clothes.

[Ikki why are you pinged by the baby.]

[Voice]

[stungunning]

Oh we have lots of blankets and diapers for him too, but that's just not very practical when it comes to every day when he's on his play mat or when I take him out for a walk, he likes to move about and he can't do that all swaddled up in blankets. Besides, I'd much rather give him something to wear to help keep him warm and clean than let him lie around in just his diaper. I picked up a lot of tips from my sister and brothers with their children. I always thought that my nieces and nephews were growing very fast, but it seems so much faster with my own baby.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

Don't tell me you were one of those idiots that think that their children will seem to grow slower than other children do because you can see him everyday or something stupid like that.

[Children grow fast, and seeing them everyday doesn't make them slow down, it's the opposite as this woman is realizing.]

It's summer, we usually get heatwaves in here. Letting him lay on just his diapers when he's on his play mat doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. Too much warmth will make him cranky. And a weakling unable to endure even a cold breeze.

[ voice ]

[breezing]

[ HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAL. ] He's so cu-ute!

[ voice ]

[stungunning]

[ You are being treated to the sound of an equally high-pitched squeal from the baby, Ikki.]

Thank you, I'm glad you like him!

[positivelycharged]

[Whoa he's never seen a baby before. Just gonna stare for a moment there.]

...Is he gonna be a giant?

video

[stungunning]

Well... I don't know. My whole family's pretty tall and his Daddy's tall too, so he might grow up to be pretty big.

[voice]

[anita_hero]

Aww, he's getting so big! Hi there, cutie!

[voice]

[stungunning]

He is! It's hard to believe that he ever fit in my tummy looking at him now.

[meritocracy]

Oh what a lovely child! It's so good to see happy things in this place!

video;

[stungunning]

Thank you! He takes after his daddy an awful lot... well. Apart from his nose. And his eyes. But other than that he's just like his daddy.

[Video]

[inburningshadows]

Your child is- most beautiful. [Abel's weakness, CHILDREN.]

And- thank you for the kind words, they are very welcoming to this 'new feather'.

[Video]

[stungunning]

Oh thank you; he's very lucky he has such a handsome daddy to get his good looks from.

And you're very welcome! How are you settling in? Are you finding your way around okay? Do you have any friends here already?

[action]

[notabluesbro]

[Wolfwood's just gonna come over to the house to have some quality family time with his posse--and of course watch the two of them play and mile with a doofy grin of his own.] He's such a damn mama's boy, look at that.

[action]

[stungunning]

[Somebody hears his daddy's voice and just squeals happily, flailing his little arms happily while the smile never leaves his face.]

Daddy needs to watch his language, doesn't he sweetie? Yes he does. He shouldn't say that 'd' word around you.

[Up she hops and happily plants one on the bigger Wolfwood.]

Hello~

[video]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Oh, Milly, you have no idea what a welcome sight a warm, friendly smile is for this poor frightened girl! And OMG IS THAT A BABY EEEE!]

He's so adorable! [She blushes a bit, hopefully this isn't too forward of her.] Ah...if you ever need rest, I would be happy to look over him if you needed to run errands or even just take a nap.

[After everything seemed so strange and awful...it's really a huge comfort to see that there are families and some semblance of normalcy that can be found, all the same.]

Oh! I'm Chizuru Yukimura. [Small bow.] I guess it's strange of me to ask, having just met you, but I figured I'd offer. [She lightly rubs a fingertip against her jawline thoughtfully.] I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do, outside of taking care of my friends here...so I've got the time, and I'd like to think I'm good with children. [She was a doctor's daughter, after all, so at the very least he'd be safe and healthy.]
