[ Calling all babysitters: there is a mother in need.

No, really. Riku's sitting lazily in one of the kitchen chairs, her head having fallen to the side to watch her baby because she just doesn't have the energy to do anything else. She hasn't for several days now. Aden is sitting on the floor with a few baby toys and possibly something venomous, looking cheerful and active while Riku looks like hell, pale and clammy, with deep purple circles under her eyes. ]

...Riku?

[why do you look so horrible omg. D:]

[dawningcoast]

[im dying squirtle.

No, she's fine. Just ill. Kai is getting a tired smile.]

Hey.

[seasides]

You look pretty bad.

[trying not to be distracted by omgbaby. because Riku is ill.]

[dawningcoast]

I feel pretty bad.

[She looks briefly amused, then her eyes go back to Aden, who is babbling wetly behind a teether. His eyes are on Kai, a big smile lighting them up.]

[Akane's enough of a handful, thanks.]

No dying at the table.

[dawningcoast]

Oh, sorry, I'll move to the floor before I succumb.

[Not even looking at you, Larxene.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Riku's clearly in no shape to be a threat (though remember what happened last time Larx thought that about someone...) so Larxene actually relaxes a little bit for a change. Akane's accompanying her as usual, and toddles over in Aden's direction, though she seems more interested in the toys than their owner.]

Couldn't get loverboy to watch the kid for you?

[dawningcoast]

Red watches his son just as much as I do.

[Don't make her get defensive over him, it's not pretty when she does. She doesn't apparently care if Akane makes a move for Aden's toys; Aden doesn't either, and if he does, Riku expects he will take care of that on his own.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

You look like shit, Aunt Riku.

*always a heart warmer, this one; he's leaning against the doorframe, crossing his arms over his chest -- he's getting progressively thinner, though he doesn't look too bad just yet*

[dawningcoast]

Gee, thanks.

[She looks very amused when she smiles like that, but it disappears quickly into something softer and she looks over to him.]

[maverick-blades.livejournal.com]

*he comes closer, putting his hands on your shoulders in a familiar way, and even bending to kiss the top of your head like a good boy*

You should take better care of yourself. You look like death's at your door. I'll make you some tea, and you should drag your ass to bed.

*he's been taking care of his Mama too*

[dawningcoast]

[That makes her smile widen a bit, then form into a smirk.]

I've been in bed all day. I don't think a couple hours around the living will worsen my condition any.

Imma throw this before I go to bed kthx

... you know, asking for help sometimes isn't a bad thing. We do it all the time with you guys, you know.

omggggg \o/

[dawningcoast]

[Riku jumps a mile when she hears her, whipping her head around to stare.]

... I know.

shhhhh >>

[thedawnbefore.livejournal.com]

[Why, for the love of Kingdom Hearts, does it have something venomous with it. Ausra goes over to inspect her grandchild and sort of daughter, expertly pushing away a chair or two where Aden could potentially bump against the corners and legs. First rule, you have to childproof everything.]

I can take care of him for a while. Go rest.

[dawningcoast]

[Hey she's trying. ;; Also those chairs may or may not have little teeth marks on them where he was teething. Aden just looks up at her with open curiosity, because you look like his mother. Riku looks wary.]

I don't know.

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

[He was coming to get a snack, but stops in the doorway when he sees Riku sitting there. He looks from Riku to Aden and back again.]

...Hey. Are you okay? You don't look so good.

[dawningcoast]

[Riku just waves a hand, eying Demyx with just a bit of wariness. Aden tosses something he'd been chewing on across the room, where it sticks to the wall.]

I'm fine.

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

[Usualy someone being wary would make him wary too and he'd probably just go. But since Riku really looks like she's bad off, he offers a little smile and holds his hands up in front of himself to keep them in view--he honestly doesn't mean anyone any harm.] Well, I'm just here for a snack. So if it's okay with you, I'm going to go raid the fridge. [A pause.] If your sick I think there's some left-over soup in there from Sora's cookout--if no one got to it already. Might help.

*wat r u doin'?*

[dawningcoast]

[Currently? Sliding further and further down in her chair.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*that's not good; he's checking on Aden then you*

Well, Aden. Looks like your Mama isn't as happy as you.

*FINALLY gets to tag this. Ugh I hate being busy.*

[Motherhen senses are tingling. Roxas walks in with Austin toddling alongside him. When he sees Riku he frowns a bit and heads over.]

Hey, you feeling alright?

*pets*

[dawningcoast]

Not really.

[Hi Roxas. And d'aw, Austin. Don't mind Aden, he's just howling again.]

C:

[stillahothead.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[Austin looks at Aden, puzzled for a moment. Why so howling. He apparently doesn't like the noise, as he just tossed his sippy cup in Aden's direction.]
