Presto will chirp excitedly, wings spread out, wanting to make sure his master was seeing this or get his attention if he wasn't.

Lucifer's attention is indeed got, turning with gaze quickly going to little Morgan as he slowly pieces together that he's seeing her take her first steps across the kitchen floor. Turning more fully, utterly fixated, not daring to look away for even a split second.

He's slowly wondering what's up when she doesn't respond to his playfulness... she's been on the fussier side for a minute today, he was hoping to try and make her laugh. But then that thought is interrupted when she throws the bottle. Okay then... definitely a grumpy baby today.

"Haha! That's exactly what I meant to say!"

Shit. Er... shoot.... That was a close one. Can't be swearing in front of the baby, even if this is Hell. Let her be more innocent, even if only for a few years.

Morgan is sitting beside Lucifer, swaying from side to side while watching a cockatiel whistle to music that's being played in a tiktok. She tries to mimic the birdie by whistling but just ends up giving raspberries instead. Poor thing doesn't know how to whistle yet.

Quietly pulling out his phone to try and record this. She's too adorable for words!

Lilith holds little Morgan in her arms as she walks up to Philza. The baby seems to be clinging to her mother, unsure about the stranger.

"Philza, this is Morgan. She's a little shy but once she warms up to you, she'll be a clingy hug bug."

The demon Queen looks down to her daughter,"Want to say hello to your Uncle Philza, darling?"

She doesn't move, causing Lilith to laugh a little before she carefully hands her off to him.

Philza looks down at his niece with a soft smile, "Hello, little one,"

Death was surprised when his sister-in-law contacted him, but his questions were soon answered when Lilith explained about Morgan and Caroline.

Morgan needed to see that loving birds of prey was not bad. So he invited Morgan and her mother to his realm so the princess could see his crows.

Philza sat in a field, surrounded by the black birds, wearing a shawl of matching feathers from his days masquerading as an Overlord in Hell. He was trying drive the point across.

"Your mother has told me a lot about you," Philza holds his arms out to Morgan, a gentle invitation, "Come, we seem to share a love of birds, sweet one. I wish to teach you more,"

Laughing at the two, especially Morgan repeating his words. (At least THOSE words weren't swears... even if they almost were at original context.)

His God daughter slowly crawls to him before holding her little hands up to him with bright red eyes. She hasn't grown any teeth in yet, but she gives him a wide smile. "Up!"

"My goodness me! What elegant gross motor skills, Your Highness! Most developmentally adept of you! Come here, my ssssweet girl," Pentious coos, tail flicking from excitement.

With a grunt of opposition from his tender back, the angelic serpent crouches down to heed to the princess' command. He lifts her high up, giving a few careful, hopefully giggle-inducing tosses before he cuddles her to his chest. What a radiant bundle of oxytocin and serotonin she was.

Lilith just gives her husband the look from across the room.

"He's going to confuse that poor baby for the rest of her life.."

Maybe she should just step in and try to correct him, but the fact that Morgan is giggling with such a silly smile stops her. There has been so many tears and sadness in the palace lately. Seeing Lucifer's silly side again was a bit heart warming.
