⚜️ an easy day

[lilyberation]

Who: Dark Cacao Cookie and White Lily Cookie
What: Taking the hatchlings to the pool
When: Mid-month
Where: The Rec Center
Warnings: N/A at this time


( it's probably a quieter day. lily herself has been unceremoniously banished from the clinic to rest a bit, and they can't just put everything on pause because the forest is being a dick yet again. the hatchlings must be restless, too- she's pretty sure she's had to bring quicksilver in from the window at least a dozen times by now because he wants to go fight a snake.

he cannot fight a snake. he is not yet capable of breaking stone. but he's going to try. the others will have to be picked up as well, but they tend to all play together... as she gathers up quicksilver and dasik in one arm each, she pauses as she passes the living room. )

Cacao? I was thinking of taking the hatchlings to the pool to play a bit. Would you like to join us?

( ... dasik immediately begins to pap her little hands about excitedly. daddy! come play!! )

[ he looks up in surprise from his book... then laughs softly]

They are rather riled up, aren't they?

[lilyberation]

Oh, yes. Like children in a candy store!

( dasik... continues to bap. there's an excited yet soft 'aaaaaaaaa' that she definitely picked up from lily, and lily is pretending that isn't happening because oh my god. but now that dasik's kicking up an excited fuss, quicksilver's also paying attention.

it is a chorus of demands for play. is swim time!!!! )

[winterfrosting]

Very well, there is no need for such excitement! I will change into swimwear.

[lilyberation]

( the siblings let out an excited 'yaaaaaaay!' despite there being apparently no need for such excitement, and lily just laughs. )

We'll be waiting for you here.

[ eventually Cacao returns, in just his dark trunks. He hasn't adjusted them for his tail yet, so it just kinda hangs over the band.

It's still a little chilly outside. But he doesn't seem concerned at all]

There. Forgive the delay.

[lilyberation]

Oh, we'll need to fix that for you later...

( she's not surprised by how unfazed he is by the chill- she knows his home, after all. dasik wiggles out of lily's hold to walk with cacao instead, and it's time to go. )

We'll need to fetch the others from their caretakers, but that shouldn't take too long.

[winterfrosting]

Indeed. They would be very jealous if we only took Dasik and Quicksilver.

[lilyberation]

Oh, yes!

( most of the hatchlings seem to go from house to house when it comes to the babas- the real one they need to make a point to stop by is affogato and pearl.

eep.

but affogato, by tal's words, doesn't put up a fuss and pearl gets to come too. yaaaaaaaaay! )

Hehe. Shall we, then?
