[ 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. ]

[TICKLES TIME, IN THAT CASE. babby laughs are so cute.]

[Shriieeeeeek. Laughing shrieks and giggles and wow he's loud. But Riku's smiling, even if it makes her wince a little.]

[s-sorry, baby is cute, he's forgotten about the whole. loud thing.]

[She's not saying anything, at least. But she does reach up to rub at her head.]

Cute for such a handful, huh?

Aren't all babies?

[That gets a snort out of her.]

Good point. But do you really think you'd be up for taking care of him?

I won't know until I try, right? Not like you'll actually be going anywhere, if it comes down to me having to hand him over too soon.

I guess not. I'm just... still not used to letting him go too far. And it feels like I shouldn't have to.

[She feels guilty, dude.]

I don't have to go far away or anything. I can just hang out with him for a bit somewhere near your room, so you can get some more rest.

[he says "more" because he figures Riku isn't stupid enough to not be resting when she's so bad off.]

[No, she's not. She's been resting plenty, but her immune system is shot from being sick ~~which is the reason being poisoned has affected her like this-~~]

Don't you have better things you should be doing?

Probably.

[but he does those things like. every day, taking a break to help her out isn't going to cause the DR to implode or something.]

[She gives him a long look, then waves her hand to get him to follow her.]

Come on, then.

[look at him brighten~. he'll follow her no problem.]

[She's going to bend down to scoop up Aden's toys, and then continue on out of the hall to the bedrooms.]

[oh right, probably don't want to leave those in there, whoops.]

[Definitely not. Who knows what could happen? It's not a far walk to her room, and Riku's not up for starting chit-chat, so if Kai wants conversation he'll have to start it on his own.

But since he's still holding Aden, he might want to make sure he doesn't get his hair ripped out, or be extra-careful not to drop him. Aden likes to wiggle.]

[he's okay with quiet, and paying attention to Aden. he'll be very careful not to drop him, no worries.]

[I said there wasn't conversation -- it's not quiet. It's never quiet with Aden. At least he's moved from the wordless howling to babbling now.]

[well, quiet conversation-wise then, gosh. Kai may or may not babble back!]

[Aden will be very pleased if he does, and squeal all over again before he babbles more.]

[Kai is quite entertained by this, and will keep holding a "conversation" with Aden, since Riku's not being talkative!]

[She's busy coughing ~~blood, but she'll try to hide that~~, but look- they've reached her room.]

Wait here a minute, alright?

Alright.

[d-does he need to cast a Cure. he totally can. D|]

[Nono, she's got it. Really. She's disappearing into the room, now. Don't be alarmed by the way Aden looks confused when his mommy disappears.]

[he figured that would happen, so whatever. he'll just try and keep the kid entertained.]
