[Riku had been kind of scarce around the dressing room lately, mostly because he's been trying to avoid people. He hadn't been in much of a social mood, to say the least. Axel, on the other hand... Which was the cause of his current predicament. Which was pretty obviously the baby tugging at his hair while he sat on a sofa, trying to figure out what would amuse said baby, apart from giving him a bald spot.]

Was Axel high when he said I could babysit for your mom?

((OOC: Riku got stuck with Akane while

lostmycause and

lightning_larx have fun together. Sorry if tags are slow, got midterms to study for.))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ you don't have enough small children to deal with. here, have a second, peeking shyly at you from across the room before taking a few steps closer, though she doesn't say anything ]

[Tiny Xion, what. Oh, he probably shouldn't make comments about Axel being high around a little kid who might learn words. Riku's raising a brow at her, ignoring the tugging on his hair for the moment.]

Hello.

[ gives him a derpy little smile and toddles over to the couch, climbing up onto it beside him without invitation. BEAMS. ]

Hello! What are you doing?

[As long as she doesn't start pulling his hair too.]

Babysitting her.

What's that mean?

[ has no idea what you're talking about. but OMG, BABY. Xion is clearly fascinated, but she's a very well behaved little girl, so she keeps still. ... mostly. still fidgeting a little. ]

[Well, Akane must be pretty fascinated with her too, because she's stopped pulling on Riku's hair to look at Xion. Give him a moment to figure out how to explain babysitting.]

Her mom wanted to hang out with a friend. So I'm taking care of her so she can have a good time and not worry about her.

[Have a "good time" indeed.]

[ BABY! Xion reaches a tentative hand out to Akane, waiting to see if the baby will grab it. In the meantime, have a headtilt, Riku. ]

"Mom"...? You're really nice to help your friend, though.

[Of course she grabs it. Grabby baby is grabby.]

I guess. A mom is the person who takes care of you, and gave birth to you.

[ eee! ♥ just sort of holds the baby's hand and plays with her fingers a little, beaming. she makes a little humming noise when Riku explains, shaking her head. she clearly still doesn't get it, but doesn't seem to care. ]

Can I help you babysit?

[Well, he wouldn't know how else to explain it anyways, so it's better she didn't ask. Akane is babbling at her, looking pretty pleased too.]

If you really want to.

Hey Riku...

[Look! It's a Rare FutureSora!]

Why do you have a child?

[Oh, hey Sora. He'd wave, but his hands are full of a toddler trying to rip out his hair.]

I'm babysitting her for a Larxene.

Oh... A friend of yours? [Going to sit down next to him and try and coax Akane's hand off Riku's hair]

More a friend of Axel's than mine. [Ooh, someone else to latch onto. Akane seems pretty interested in you, Sora.]

[Well she's cute, and his hands are fair game, just don't pull on his hair too please.]

Oh... I see...

[His hands are interesting enough for now.]

They wanted to spend some time together... So Axel volunteered me to babysit.

[Larxene spawn is touching you Sora, wryyyyy.]

[But she's cute. Deal with it, Roxas. What's wrong with Larxene anyway?]

Oh... He didn't ask first?

Well, he asked. But he didn't say when, and Larxene just sort of showed up with her a while ago while Axel was gone. [Which might explain why he looks kind of grumpy about it. Some warning would have been nice.]

[She's crazy. And mean. And told him to bash his head against a window.]

[Oh... Well...]

Mm... That's kind of lame. Why do they want you to babysit, anyway? [pets her hair a little bit]

[Akane is squirming away from Riku to get to Sora, because he's more fun than Riku. He's busy trying to think of a way to put this without being blunt.]

... They wanted some adult time. Together.

[Oh god what.]

small>[His thoughts exactly, Roxas. He started to move to take Akane from Riku but stopped to stare at the other when he said that.]

And you're just okay with that?!

I never really expected him to be monogamous.

[Watch out Sora, Akane's going for your hair now.]
