[ Lapis lets herself giggle at the scene in front of her, planting herself on the bed now as the baby frees Jinwoo from the hug. Now freed, a cup of coffee is pressed into his hands as she takes a sip from her own. ]

Some are really small, I've seen a lot of like... little ghosts, like gas balls, in that Kanto gate. They're pretty cute.

[ Of course Lapis attracts Ghost pokemon.

And now with both parents in the same room, the little gas ball chirps happily, settling on the sheets between them. They might still be making sparkly eyes at Jinwoo - just a little. ]

There was a box, left at our door. And when I opened it, there was this little... ball thing and this guy was inside that.

[ A hand reaches over to gently rub a finger against the baby's cheek, her lips quirking up into a smile as they lean into it with more happy chirps. ]

They seem pretty harmless. And it looks like they've already taken a liking to you.

[ he will groggily take the cup of coffee, the calming scent of fresh ground beans making him wake up just a little more as he takes a first long sip--letting it warm him a little as he tilts his head down to look at the little creature again.

...It reminds him a little like a ... nebula, like those arms themselves are little clusters of stars... ]

A present left behind for you. I wonder if it was that weird store...
They left a knife in my door once.
I can't say I've visited Kanto much, I've made a bigger habit to go to Hyrule...

[ he blinks a little as the creature gives him the sparkliest of eyes...

....

hes gonna lower his coffee cup and offer the creature a sip... ]

It kind of reminds me of you.

[ Lapis takes a few more sips of her own coffee, muffing a yawn behind a sleeved hand as she watches them both. ]

A... knife in your door. [ That sure is a way to make a delivery. ]

And at least you haven't fallen down the Hole again. [ At least she hopes he hasn't; she imagined that's something he might bring up when they're talking about their days.

And she muffles a giggle into her cup as the pokemon practically lights up when they're offered the cup, happily taking a sip from it. Before scrunching up their little face at the bitterness - they tried!! ]

It does? [ Lapis blinks, before glancing down at the little nebula. She shifts a little, letting one of her starry covered arms press against the baby - her lips quirking up in another smile as the baby happily presses one of their star cluster arms against her, watching as the stars move across her skin. ]

I guess there are similarities. Maybe that's why they got attached so quick.

I'd take a baby cloud of stars over a knife, truth be told.

[ especially Given that it wasn't even him who found the knife in his door. Poor Zhongli... ]

I remember where the hole is and I've been giving it a wide, comfortable berth. You wouldn't believe the number of monsters down there. If Eizen hadn't been there...

[ ...he can't help but to grin at the memory, as well as the face the little baby cloud makes when it decides it sure does not like coffee.

He chuckles. ]

She makes faces just like you do too, look.

[ he's gonna reach down to pet the little thing's head...
there there little one
not everyone likes coffee... ]

So, does she have a name yet?

You would? Knife fiend that you are?

[ She teases, but yeah the baby cloud of stars does sound more appealing. Poor Zhongli though... Though honestly he's probably seen worse in doors in his many, many years.

And she smiles faintly as well, as she recalls that little incident. Only to then blink at Jinwoo, brows raising. ]

I don't make faces like that.

[ She says, wrinkling her nose a little.

...

Okay he has a point. It's almost funny to think about; before she wasn't expressive but since coming here and meeting him and everyone else, that's changed. ]

I'm not sure... [ Lapis watches as the blob of stars trills happily at the pet, letting themselves lean into it. A name, a name... ]

Maybe Azzurra.

--I'm not that much of a knife fiend. [ that's a lie. he's totally a knife fiend. ]

You definitely make faces like that. Especially when you catch me attempting to cook, or using the microwave to heat up water for my tea.

[ he waits for her to make a face--and then he points at her with a grin. See, see?! there you go, making faces just like cosmog did. heheheheh... ]

...Azzurra...

Now that's pretty. [ and way more complicated than what he would have come up with. He probably just would have named her something like blob... or star... ]

What do you think?
Azzurra a pretty name for you? [ ask the cosmog directly ofc ]

Oh, so you won't be interested in what I've been learning to make at the forge.

[ More knives for the knife boyfriend. She's come a long way now though, from making smaller trinkets - now she can make half-decent weapons.

And in reponse to his words, she very very stubbornly tries to keep her expression even. ]

We have a kettle for that.

[ ... Okay she is absolutely making a face.

And then leaning over to bite the finger pointing at her.

Only for a second, and she leans back with a huff - her eyes then flicking over the the space baby, Azzurra, to see what they think of the name. She is absolutely not letting Jinwoo call them Blob- ]

I can think of something else if you - [ There's a series of happy chirps in response, the little blob beaming brightly at them both at the name. Okay, they're officially now Azzurra. ]

Azzurra it is. [ She falls silent, as she considers. ] I don't want to put them back in that ball thing, so we'll need to make a place for them to sleep.

[ look how fast his head comes up from where he's half hunched over the baby who is ABSOLUTELY not being named Blob. The thin pupils of those lightly glowing purple eyes narrowing with worry. ]

--No, wait, I want to see what you're working on, that's not what I meant at all. [ loot goblin activated. please show him your knives. ]

And I know we have a kettle, just some mornings I'm in a rush and the kettle takes too long...

[ huff, huff.

hes gonna a pick up the little baby in his hands, and give her a wobble.... ]

Well, I'm no handyman. So building a bed isn't exactly feasible...

...
Maybe we can go to a pet store and pick out a fancy pet bed...?

...I once saw one that looked like a fruit tart cup....

[ Seeing how fast he straightens up pulls a giggle from her, giving him a faint grin over the edge of her mug. ]

Alright, alright. Next time at the forge I'll send you a picture.

[ And then she huffs back, half-tempted to bite again. Not that he's... actually seemed bothered by it?? ]

It takes the same amount of time, you're just impatient.

[ But she muffles another giggle as she watches him pick up the baby, who cheers happily in his hands as she wobbles. Wobble wobble... ]

A fruit tart cup? [ That does sound really cute. She hums softly as she thinks, before nodding in agreement. While she could ask Blade, she knows he's busy with other things at the moment... ]

But a fancy pet bed sounds like a good idea, we should be able to find something nice for her. Since she's really small, it won't be too hard either...

[ nope. not bothered by the bite at all. Actually, the corners of his mouth actually lift every time she digs her pointy little fangs in him, even if he does respond with a little 'ow, ow...'

he's not being subtle at all, it seems. ]

I need pictures. I deserve pictures.

And I'm not impatient, I just have simple expectations. [ simple. truly.

He raises a hand and he makes a gesture, trying to mimic the shape of a fruit tart... ]

Yeah. It looks like a round pet bed, but it's brown and textured like a little pie tart... then inside there's little pillows sewn in with the shapes of fruit. Then there's a little space left where the pet lies down....

I saw it in a window once but. You know.
None of my pets would really fit it...

Can you imagine Stone in a pet bed...

[ Is he... smiling when she bites him? It definitely seems like he's smiling! Maybe she should test that theory... ]

You do deserve pictures, I promise you'll get them. [ She'll reach over, giving his hand a squeeze - he will get to see the knives! And then she will let him test them out once they're done.

But then her brows raise at that explanation, watching him silently for a moment. Then she brings his hand slowly to her lips so she can -

- Bite on the skin again, fangs digging in for a brief second before she lets go. ]

Those simple expectations can be met with a kettle.

[ All you do is put water in and push the button!! And she'll let go of his hand now as he makes the gestures, head tilting as she watches him. The more she listens and imagines, the more adorable it sounds - smiling softly to herself now. ]

Azzurra would look really cute in something like that. [ There's another cheer from the baby, from where she has now planted herself next to them on the bed. It's nice to see that they seem so happy with them...

... And Stone with a pet bed. That can only end badly. ]

I'm not sure if the bed would last long. But maybe we could find something big and durable enough for Stone... Or make one, maybe I could make one...

[ So one day even he can have a cute pet bed! ]
