[ here's your daily fish fact, because apparently andyr thinks you're okay or something. ]

A male Bangaii Cardinalfish will hold both eggs and babies in his mouth until the young are ready to swim on their own. This process is known as "mouth brooding." Although it takes several weeks, the male fish will not eat until the eggs hatch.

[ A N D Y R ]

Sounds about right when it comes to parenthood. I'm good with this fact.

[deconstruct]

[ hey buddy ]

imagining you mouth brooding is the creepiest fucking thing, thanks, i needed that nightmare fuel

[procedures]

You started this. You literally started this.

[deconstruct]

mistakes were made, i underestimated your gross dadliness

im imagining you carrying around val in your mouth and its fucking weird

[procedures]

We're not shrinking the kid.

Exactly how many fish trivia do you even know, anyway?

[deconstruct]

how do you know val shrunk? maybe your mouth just got huge

probably enough that someone owes me a degree

[procedures]

I am not putting any part of Val in my mouth, let alone his whole being. This is one of the weirdest conversations we've had, Andyr.

Have you considered getting certified?

[deconstruct]

you just made this extra weird by bringing up individual parts - this is your fault

uh what for? if hapsburg doesn't let me out of my room alone i'm pretty fucking sure they're not gonna let me go get a fish job either

[procedures]

You. Literally. Started. This.

It's still a nice thing to have. First KN to hold a degree in - relative - captivity. Should I still keep that in quotes or no?

[deconstruct]

i was just sharing educational facts with you, you're the one who made it gross

well isn't that a precious fucking novelty. no thanks, hapsburg doesn't need anymore advertising fodder, and i really don't like the thought of being quaint. 'look at the monkey, he learned some tricks'.

[procedures]

Only because you left an opening for it to be gross.

You're not a monkey. Or any other animal. You could do it just for you, too, you know. You're right, they wouldn't care - so why not go for it? Do it for you.

[deconstruct]

you didnt have to take that opening, alva. make better life choices.

i'll think about it

[ it's andyr, and he makes most decisions in about a five minute span, so it's a good guess that he already knows the answer and just doesn't want to argue it with alva. or give the full explanation of why not.

it's giving himself a solid platform to dream of a world where he could actually be something, do something. hope is a cruel thing in a place like hapsburg. ]

[procedures]

...You actually got me there, on that one. Good chat.

You're still wrong though.

Don't think too much on it, okay?

[ He gets it. Really, he does. But he's always been hopeful for a future where all of what they are isn't going to matter, and he feels terrible that Andyr's lost that hope on the road he's been walking.

He's had that choice taken from him. Alva hates it. ]

[deconstruct]

what, seriously? yeah, i was totally just being a tool about it.

you're wronger

[ he knows he gets it. he also knows alva's always encouraged him to do better, and for good reason. knows he cares about him like another one of his kids. ]

you want me to do it or not, alva?
