*tin wobbled in, staring at moriko before wobbling to moriko and curling around them, patting moriko*
"Tin find, tin protect"
@tin-the-turtle
{Moriko was napping, stirring and waking up to Tin moving close and curling around and patting him.}
*Tin gently patted moriko, before looking around, yoinking Marlow, giving moriko a kiss like a loving husband he is before dipping with his child, doing tippy taps*
"Tin care for!"
"baby marlow!"
{Moriko doesn't stir enough to process the kidnapping, chirping sleepily as she rolls over into a new sleeping position. Marlow himself is dead asleep, not waking to any of it. Someone notices, though. Akira watches the interaction before getting up and heading towards Tin and her sleeping brother.}
*Tin wobbled out out, holding marlow carefully before going topside to his pond and explore with his baby marlow*
{Akira follows after Tin, keeping up despite her small size with the help of her mimics. Marlow still seems to be asleep for now.}
*tin wobbled around before just causally dropping baby marlow, and flopping on top of marlow (gently) cooing softly before screaming at any humans that look at him*
"Baby marlow, baby marlow!"
{Well, Marlow woke up to that. He opened his eyes, looking around for his Mom, Aster, or his siblings. He sees none of them— as Akira is lagging slightly behind-, and starts chirping around for them.}
*tin cooed softly before licking marlow, gently picking the turtle up before wobbling off to allow marlow to see the world*
{Marlow squeaks, continuing his chirping calls. It takes a moment before Akira can respond to them, scurrying up to Tin and Marlow as quickly as she can. She starts to cough from her efforts by the time she reaches them, though.}
*Tin looked at the other turtle*
"Two babies!"
*Tin carefully put marlow down before grabbing akira, looking confused as she coughs*
"Baby sick?"
{Akira clicks slightly in between coughs as Tin picks her up, not liking suddenly being grabbed. Though at the moment, there's nothing she can really do about it. Marlow chirps loudly at Akira before chirping more softly to her.}
*Tin carefully wobbled back to the lair making sure marlow is okay, next time, baby needs to go back home, baby is sick*
{As Akira is able to catch her breath, her coughing stops completely. She huffs, squirming slightly, not liking being held at all. Marlow's tail wags and peeps more quietly to his sister.}
'ra!
'ira!
*Tin dropped back to the lair, and next to moriko, kissing moriko like a good husband, and letting the sick baby go, and flopping next to moriko, keeping him company*
{Moriko mews softly in her sleep, stirring just slightly before settling back down again. Marlow peeps more at Akira, making grabby hands at her, wanting to cuddle. Akira huffs, looking away as her tail starts to move as if it's ticking back and forth like a metronome. After a moment, she complies with Marlow's request for cuddles. Though her tail continues to tick tick tick.}
*Tin patted the sick baby gently yawning and resting*
