[ he nods, but if Childe is within grabbing distance he's going to try to pull him close ]

I had fun with Baritones, but it was exhausting.

[ he lets him, going down easily onto the bed and immediately trying to cuddle in closely. ]

[ that's cute. And he seems to enjoy it, so he's wrapping his arms around him and leaning in to kiss him ]

Did you miss me that much today?

I have something for you, ...

But you'll have to close your eyes.

[ well, okay. He does close his eyes since he trust him ]

Careful, if I don't like it I'll kick you out of bed.

And I'll grab your leg and drag you out of the bed along with me.

[ as soon as scara shuts his eyes he whistles, and something lands on his head. something small and light. ]

Alright. [ it's this - a smol bird. ]

Open your eyes.

[ he opens his eyes and then just ... stares at Childe, and then at the bird, and then at Childe. ]

... A bird?

[ the bird peeps at scaramouche. ]

A bird.

[ he's going to reach over to get it to sit on his fingers, just to test if it will ]

And why did you gift me a bird?

I thought it might be some nice company. It can sing and you can dance.

[ oh. That's actually cute. And despite the question he does seem to like it ]

Aah, well. I'll have to buy things to take care of him properly, mm? And I can give him whatever name I want.

...yeah. [ he's going to reach for the bird and give him tiny scritches with his finger. ] A big cage and... we can probably decorate it like a sakura tree or something. He'll need a food and water dish...

I don't know if there's a pet store in the mall, but we can always go take a look.

Mm. [ nods. ] Name him whatever you like.

No cage. I'll keep him in the upgrade you gave me. He won't be able to fly if I put him in one, no?

[ and of course there are his personal reasons for not wanting to keep it caged. ]

... Katsuragi, then.

...an even better suggestion, honestly. I kind of forget you could keep him in there, but yeah. We should still get him a couple of toys to string around one of the trees. Or maybe a nest that he can add to over time. A bird bath and feeder as well.

[ he kisses scaramouche's temple. ] Katsuragi.

And since you got him for me, you can also build some of those things yourself. It will be better than buying them after all, no?

Me?! Shouldn't that be your job as sole bird owner. I do agree though, home-made one-of-a-kind objects are leagues better than anything mass produced.

You're the father, so it's your job.

[ jkdhgkfjhjgkhjgj ]

E- Excuse me?! I'm the father??

Mm-mmm. Or did you think of leaving me alone with Katsuragi? How heartless.

I never said that. [ makes a face, but it ultimately softens as he sighs. ] I'll help you take care of him, but that just means you'll have to help me with my own pets. Fair's fair, mommy.

Is that so? And how many pets do you have, daddy?

Six. [ smirks. ] A rabbit and five foxes. Are you up for the challenge?

Why stop at six. You should go for eleven.

I think I already have my hands full.

[ he smiles at that, and then leans in to kiss him ]

I'll help you with them. Let's go to the room you gifted me, so I can let Katsuragi fly around.
