DON’T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUyes I’m talking to you I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME NAJA I SEE YOU CRAWLING UP THE WALL. DON’T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH

SHE GETS THAT FROM YOUR SIDE OF THE FAMILY

Hey one must taste everything to know what tastes good

She never gets tired, does she? [gods, if only. phi can't even imagine what that's like.]

I think it's alright if we get to rest a little now and then. [they're watching the two of them, the ghost of a smile upon their lips. it really was a dream come true, wasn't it?"

I think they would tell you if there was a change. [what kind of change they would not say. moving closer, they start braiding naja's mass of hair, humming thoughtfully.] sal's with him, isn't he? he'd certainly let us know.

[they're not sure when they should tell yoshi what they found when they went back out in the woods. after all, they'd taken care of the body, so what harm would it be in him not knowing who it was? but they can't lie forever.]

wha-? [a half asleep phi is up in a heartbeat, throwing on their coat and moving to grab the baby.] who's awake? Oh gods, is Talox awake?

I'll see if [hotel owners] can give us a lift. [they aren't exactly qualified to drive and he certainly is in no shape to.] wait here, I'll just be a minute.

[phi rushes back, not saying a word as they pull yoshi (and by extension naja) towards the ship. no time to waste.]

[quiet and thankfully short. once landed, phi thanks their lovely ride before practically vaulting out of the ship with yoshi in tow.]

[phi takes naja, just a little worried about their husband's raising voice hurting her ears. not that they could ever blame him, of course. the two are ushered down the hall.] "In there, sir."

[ in the quiet of talox’s hospital room, yoshi thumbs through old photos on his commlink. perhaps he’ll give teodora a call tomorrow. he worries about that girl every day. she’ll be happy to hear from him... he hopes. ]

[ phi looks at him with both eyes and a wide smile, frozen in time. they look so young, so... foreign, like that. but he knows his phi. he always does. ]

what do you mean /again/

well I guess I'm going to have to k*ll some kids
