IT'S A BABY-BONANZA!

[paradisamods]

Good morning, residents! Did you sleep well? You're going to need all the energy you can muster because congratulations: You're parents! Again! The Paradisa Stork has paid some very lucky residents a visit last night, and even moved them to a more kid-friendly environment.

Some of you may already recognize your little bundle of joy and--my, how they've grown! Others will have to get acquainted with their little rugrats. You may not know them, but they certainly know you. By they way? They're bored. And hungry! And they want all the attention you could possibly give them.

It's going to be a long week.

(ooc: Use this as a catch-all post! This will be the only mass post for the Sunny Skies Retreat, so you may use it for any day that you'd like. Feel free to make your own posts and/or sections whenever you'd like!

[Felix is silently grateful that this hadn't escalated more than it already had. He recognized Gideon's pain and anger as legitimate, and suspected that had Gideon been able to mindspeech he would have treated to a far more scathing response that he'd bothered to write. He wants to do something to help, but Gideon is pushing him away, and after that exchange, he decides to let it go, hoping his former lover would not have to endure the trials of fatherhood entirely without a helping hand. It was destined not to be his, fumbling though it was.

He steps back to Ashura, a somewhat dark but distant expression on his face]

I think that can wait a few years, thank you.

_{[ Ashura balked some at the other's suggestion, eyes widening slightly, surprised at how cruel that sounded. Simply because the man did not like him or was angry at Felix was no reason to suggest or even attempt to scar their child. His eyes narrowed as he considered the man, shifting Ryuga on his hip, the boy happy enough to play with Ashura's hair at the moment. ]}

They were with us only a few days. We would rather not sour that time with unnecessary tragic tales.

_{[ The words were pointed, Ashura turning. ]}

I think I'll take Ryuga to the pool, Felix.

[Gideon's suggestion is a harsh one, certainly, but it's born of something other than a desire to maim Ryuga's sensibilities. He isn't suggesting it in all seriousness, after all.

(Anyway, Mildmay ended up letting slip the information to his daughter earlier, and she seemed to take it well enough. Cross your fingers that Ally doesn't tell Ryuga all about Daddy's scary friend what got his tongue cut out.)

When Ashura turns to go, Gideon takes a step forward and bends down to pick up Zipporah. He has no illusions about Felix's displeasure right now; he certainly doesn't expect the man to want to stay and chat.]

[He realizes that maybe he's misstepped, but is terribly unsure of what direction it had been in, exactly. It's continuing to be a terribly common occurrence for him, and yet something he'd never really had to navigate at home, though the point of the matter was that he'd never had to play both sides as much as he has to here.

He waits a moment, letting Ashura go, his eye on Gideon as he goes to leave as well.]

Good luck with her.

[Terse but with a trace of regret and genuine despite the rest of it, and then he starts off after his lover.]
