Rafayel’s hair grows really fast, and I like to headcanon that it’s a little curlier than his LSG shows. It starts to get get fluffy and extra curly the longer it gets. And Caleb, with his experience learning about your hair growing up, is braiding the little duck tail of lavender and violet.

I headcanon Xavier, with his steeled face and princely education, never lets his anxiety show physically— except for certain cases. He digs his nails into his palms, or pick at the skin around his nails. It takes a lot to get to him, but when it does, the opposite happens from when he’s happy. Instead of joyful little orbs of starlight, all the lights around him dim. In an eerie, unsettling way, like when the sun is blotted out during an eclipse.

Whose baby? It doesn’t matter. It’s all their baby, and that little bundle of pudge would have attributes from all of them.

Xavier would be the best at staying up with the baby. He’s the sleepyhead yes, but he’s got the stamina to stay awake for days, pacing slowly back and forth. and swaying to keep the baby calm. Until, eventually, he falls asleep on the couch with the baby cuddled securely on his chest.

Zayne is so sweet. He loves to gently pet the baby’s black hair (even blondes are born with black hair sometimes) and he’d coo about how the baby looks like him. Even if there’s other evidence he’s not biologically related — like red eyes, or little scales — it’s like he somehow believes love alone has mingled his dna in there.

Rafayel is obsessed with the baby’s hands. Letting their tiny fingers curl around one of his. He gets lost in staring at their chubby rolls and stubby little toes. When the baby starts smiling and laughing, he nibbles at their hands until they’re full belly laughing.

Sylus is the type to do things + a baby. He has a meeting? Sylus is in the meeting, plus the baby. He has someone to intimidate. He’s intimidating, plus the baby. He’s discussing arms imports and protocore moderations with scary underground netizens, with a tiny sleeping baby in his arms. He’s a big believer in baby wearing, and secretly hates the crib. Because where else should the baby sleep if not in his arms?

I imagine it might be even more intense

Oh hellll yeah. I’ve got it all outlined out, and I’m so ready to get to it. I wanna go balls to the wall, hate messages in my inbox, cancel me on twitter nasty 😈
