Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a loud thump as something - or more likely someone - slammed headfirst into the wall a few feet from the habitat's opening. A few minutes later, Robert strode in like he hadn't just slammed into the wall full speed in flight, and nearly broken his nose in the process. At least he wasn't bleeding from it.

"WHERE ARE YOU, TINIES?" Robert roared, peeking around a corner. In a quieter voice, he coo'd. "Are you in, my Starwhisper? Does your presence dazzle our home tonight?"

His arms are out the moment he sees her dropping down from the ceiling, but they're quickly encapsulated by her full body hug. He rubbed his face against her lovingly, a vibrating sound of pleasure leaving his throat as his face buried against her hair. Then she let him go to show him the bundle of cloth, but he's distracted by his little wiggling babies. He reaches up quickly, and with his fingers he tears little gashes near the bottom, where he assumes their faces are. Each of them gets a series of wet smacking kisses - and subsequently the ability to breathe - before he turns to the new acquisition.

"My Starcatcher, you are so terribly clever. Show me!"

If she thought that he would ever point out the error in her ways, she would be largely mistaken. Robert knew this for what it was, and he took the shard very tenderly in his hands, carrying it over to the nearest windowsill. There, he tilted it just right, and - ahh, there was his gift.

"Just lovely." He coo'd out in content. "I will put it in my collection, and soon I will have so much of the moon's power in my hands that I will be able to gobble it all up." He took the shard to his chambers, but not before using it to skillfully slice the cocoons open, dropping his precious little children onto his shoulders as he walked by them. He collected them like raindrops on his skin.

Once he'd put the shard away, he carried the wiggly, squirming little sacks of trouble back into the main room and plucked them both up off of him by the legs, holding them up for inspection. "Peter, you're such a big boy now! Soon I'll have to cut your sister out of your cocoons instead!"
