⏾ Robert is usually around 1-7 in his regression [the ages he remembers being most secure in his life; though he's usually at the younger end if he's been shoving it off [as he usually does] until he physically crumbles in on himself due to stress, trauma or.. whatever else weighs on him. ⏾ While regressed, oh good GODS is he clingy; but he won't let himself cling to anyone that doesn't overtly ask him if he wants to first. [beef is the exception] and shockingly after. a LOT of coaxing by Chase he'll go to him first and just... sit by him until he's free enough to cuddle. ⏾ He stares. A LOT. like.. not curious staring usually; just.. war veteran staring into nothing type stare. The first time he did it around anyone was Chase... that made him age 90 years when he saw his lil guy just deadpan staring at a wall; the second time it happened was when the Z team babysat and Flambae yelled at someone for being stupid [who was it? any guess is a good one with them] and once he'd finished, Golem pointed out that, in fact, Robert was staring like he personally was being yelled at. ⏾ Nonverbal 99% of the time, no matter what age. he's used to his words being drowned out or overlooked by others; so he just prefers not to talk instead of repeating himself 30 times so people actually hear him ⏾ As much as he'll deny it, he's a padded regressor. Between chronic pain and mobility issues... it makes it really hard for the little one to go timely. Blazer was the one to recommend it to Chase after she'd saw a very little Robert struggling to get around. ⏾ The Z team is... shockingly really good caregivers when Robert regresses. Though he's usually clung to Flambae or Malevola [They're warm, it helps the pain a LOT on super bad days, and.. majorly Sonar handles the "talking to the little one" bit. Namely because Robert doesn't like being verbally babied even while regressed [feels like he's being talked down to, only select few people he allows to coo over him.. That being a few members of the Z team and Blazer. ] , and Sonar knows how to talk to him like he usually would; minus all the cooing over how he's doing things well. For example, instead of "oh you did so good baby!" he'll change it to "Good job, bud, you wanna do something else?" ⏾ While Sonar handles the main "Talking" when it comes to soothing Robert [if he ever does get fussy, which is a once, MAYBE twice a year thing, not that he doesn't wanna fuss, more so he feels bad for doing it.] Flambae usually deals with that; it started as a joke, but honestly? He got REALLY good at it. The second he whines, he knows. Moving his hand to painful areas to put extra warmth on the area that hurts, or setting him on his hip to get him a bottle, or whatever else! ⏾ Now, if Flambae is out or; off god knows where.. Prism and waterboy are his favourites to play with. He likes the music Herman will put on in the background while he's [trying] to color with Robert, they usually set on watercolors because it's something they can both do. And Prism is entertainment on her own, usually using her powers to do silly things to try and get him to giggle... and it works... around 60% of the time! ⏾ Golem and Punchup are usually the line of "He's sleepy and needs to be moved without waking him up too much." or "he needs someone/something to sleep on. Punch up usually stays quiet while letting Robert do his own thing to get sleepy, and Golem will just. Hold him. ⏾ Invisagirl isn't really there when Robert regresses, mainly because she's scared to hurt him, and he's.. hesitant around new faces with his regression. [new faces meaning he hasn't /doesn't see them a lot while regressed and isn't 100% on how they feel about it] ⏾ Blazer however, does her BEST to be there, if the Z teams busy, you can bet he's napping on Mandy's shoulder in her office after she cooed over him so much that he got embarrassed and fell asleep, getting him padded and cuddled up for a nice nap..

🦐He loves everything his little has to show him. A pretty seashell is the prettiest one he's ever seen. A cool rock? He's never seen a rock that cool!! A live animal and one you're probably not supposed to touch? That's a really awesome find... should probably put it back where you found it though so it can go home to its family.
