heartsick

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Kira is curled up on this corner of a couch, idly flipping through a fashion magazine, though she normally doesn't act this lazy. Anyone who looks at her closely might notice the paleness of her skin and the shadows under her eyes, but she expertly covered those little signs under her makeup. However, less easy to hide is the way she is wearing one of her brother's larger shirts (not black), whose sleeves come down to cover her hands. If you think she looks ill, you would be pretty close to the mark.]

[she's going to make a strange little wounded sort of noise and flop down with her head on you lap then, curling up]

[regalheart]

[pets her hair, sighing softly. is this even something he can help with?]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[the petting makes her feel better, and now that you're close enough you can probably tell that Kira isn't 'shining' as much as when you first met her here]

[regalheart]

[yeah... that doesn't really surprise him. if he could send her home to her parents, he would do so immediately. and Rikka with her, of course.]

I'm cold, Uncle Kai.

[at least she isn't crying?]

[regalheart]

[noooo no crying. pulls the blanket over her a bit more, even though he knows it's probably not that kind of cold.]

Do you want to go do something?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

... I dunno. What do you wanna do?

[definitely not normal Kira-behavior]

[regalheart]

[definitely not.]

Something that'll cheer you up.

[she's probably curled up in your lap like a kitten by now]

... I'm... I'm not sad.

[regalheart]

Well you're certainly not yourself.

[and he's petting her still.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Who would I be if I'm not me?

[that's good because she's practically starved for affectionate contact ;;]

[regalheart]

I'm not sure, but I think I like you better when you're not not-you.

[ruffles her hair a bit.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

So you don't like me?

[wibbly eyes of DOOM blinking up at you*

[regalheart]

No, I said I like you, not not-you.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Oh.

... how is Uncle Axel? I saw him here. He's a girl

[regalheart]

Well, he's pregnant.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

... I thought something was different! He was wearing really unflattering clothes and needed a different bra.

[because this is totes important]

[regalheart]

[snrk. he nods, looking a little anxious under his smile.]

Yeah, Hachibi's speeding it up, so it's going to happen a lot quicker than either of us are prepared for.

Is that safe? What if your baby has two heads?! Or a tail?!

[regalheart]

It's not going to have two heads.

[that's just silly. it's just going to have adorable fuzzy hyena ears maybe]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

How do you know?

[she flails more]

What if the baby breathes fire in Uncle Axel's tummy?!

[regalheart]

I don't think that's possible.

[puts a hand on her head.]

Calm down, okay? It'll be fine.

[blinkblink]

Should I call Uncle Axel, Auntie Axel now?

[regalheart]

I think that might bug him, to be honest. He won't be female forever... and I'm pretty sure he likes being male more.

So I'm going to have a new cousin soon, right?
