[ The Chao chirps and as if on cue, Adolphe is there, looking out of breath. ]

Ah, Lucas. Thanks for holding it there. It keeps trying to play hide and seek on its own...

[faithkept]

Oh! This is yours? [HELP. He'll move over to Adolphe, still cradling the lattle baby in his arms.] They really are quite rambunctious, aren't they? Some of them, anyway... [Not his having a docile and timid personality.]

You look like you've been running for a while, though... Shall I hold it for you for a bit?

[chrysanths]

[ The chao chirps happily again upon being cradled. Warmth... ]

... I would appreciate that. Thank you.

[ It hasn't forgiven Adolphe for giving Dan's chao too much attention before... :T

Anyway, he eventually catches his breath. ]

... I'm not surprised to see you doing well after last night.

[ sir 463838373 drinks ]

[faithkept]

[ADOLPHE your ACCIDENTAL DAN CHAO FAVORITISM. Lucas is not Adolphe but he will still gladly spoil this chao with all the gentle cradling it could want.]

No need to thank me, dear. [He is so okay with babysitting. Though he also just laughs faintly at that...]

Oh? I didn't have all that much to drink, so I suppose it isn't surprising, after all. [HE HAD TEN BOTTLES but it is not the first time he's had ten bottles over the course of a meal in Adolphe's presence.] How are you doing, though? Any trouble with hangovers?

[chrysanths]

... I'm powering through it.

[ Look... he saw it almost drown multiple times. He's a softie, but also, his trauma is getting dug up so much in this game. ]

Not much...

[ Right. ]

What is your limit?

[faithkept]

Oh, dear... [PLEASE ADOLPHE YOUR DROWNING TRAUMA. thinking about how his dad fucking threw adolphe into the sea. Bernard why were you so insane.]

Well, if you need any bread or water, I do still have a bit of both. [And then, with a smile:] I wonder?

[HE'S NEVER REACHED IT...]

[chrysanths]

[ Bernard was so insane but at least it doesn't make adolphe catatonic whenever he goes near the ocean now. Progress!

If adolphe knew what alcohol poisoning was, he'd be even more concerned. Alas. ]

It feels like you always have something on hand. Is it because of that hell goose?

[faithkept]

[HELPPP IS THAT PROGRESS!!!!! Also don't worry about it.]

Hm? No, of course not. [He'd never waste good bread on a goose...] People often seem to forget to eat around here, though.

[chrysanths]

They do?

[ Hello??? All this shit is free and y'all don't eat?? Fucking ungrateful ass— ]

[faithkept]

Did you not also forget to eat during most if not all of the day today, dear?

[FOOLISH.]

[chrysanths]

... I still ate.

[ But Lucas is right. Damn. How does he know this sort of thing!! ]

Kids at the orphanage were one thing, but taking care of this... thing, is even more difficult.

[faithkept]

[It's the sixth teacher sense...]

Well, it's only just recently been born, after all... And even for a newborn, it's still quite independent? [Lucas like YOU GOT LUCKY TBH.] But still quite different from raising children who already know how to walk, talk, feed themselves and think.

[chrysanths]

Since it's a creature.

[ Something something their souls. Adolphe doesn't look like he fully accepts that, but either way... ]

Are you saying that yours isn't?

[ independent, that is. ]

[faithkept]

Oh, no, mine is quite independent as well. I was comparing them to real children.

[WHO ARE NOT INDEPENDENT AT ALL. He still loves them.]

[chrysanths]

... Children usually aren't independent.

[ Lucas?? ]

[faithkept]

I'm saying that these eggs are rather independent, unlike a normal child. They do still have unique requirements, though.

[They're independent but also so baby...]

[chrysanths]

[ Adolphe looks at his own chao that Lucas is probably still holding and sighs. ]

Everything needs something to grow... I can't believe these are supposed to be our souls.

[faithkept]

[Imagine he just set it down and let it wander off. No he's still holding it, probably rocking it or bouncing it gently every now and then.]

They're only representative of it or tied to it, aren't they? Not the very literal soul...

[HE HOPES.]

[chrysanths]

[ Looking at Lucas like this reminds him of just how good he is with children. Adolphe has had to seriously reconsider his own skills regarding children after being roomed with Dan.

He looks down at the chao though, in which it coos right up at Lucas and turns away from Adolphe. This is a little too on-point for what he thinks about himself........ ]

[faithkept]

[NOT BEING CHAOBANDONED LIKE THIS. Lucas smiles down at the lil cooing chao and then looks over toward Adolphe.]

Yours is very sweet! How cute...

[chrysanths]

... I guess it is. It's better than being unruly, which... it is occasionally. Don't let its cuteness fool you.

[ Chao makes a happy babble at Lucas!! ]

[faithkept]

Oh, my. Are you an unruly child? Is that true?

[SPEAKING SWEETLY TO THE CHAO...]

[chrysanths]

[ More nonsensical baby babble comes from the chao. ]

... Maybe you should lead daycare services for these things.

[faithkept]

I'd consider it, if you'd lend me a hand.

[Adolphe surrounded by so many chaos would be so cute... Unfortunately he fucking DIES ABOUT IT.]
