V (and Eldritch) Hey panini-head, are you listening to me?
 253 | 1 V was quiet. The room was dark as they drew breath, eyes closed against the ache that seemed to curl over their form. The huffing breaths against their underbelly made them relax, opening purple and gold to lift their head. Then, they turned their head to look over at the one breathing on them.
Their child. Eldritch was asleep, legs sprawled out across the bed. Their skull markings were easily seen in a dark. Slowly, V began to pull away. The dark child squealed in protest, opening wide blue and purple eyes.
“Come on little one. You have family to meet” The hippocampus murmured to the child’s floppy little ears. Eldritch squeaked in protest as V nosed them to feet, but the hippocampus foal pushed their wobbly little legs up, as V gently lifted them in their teke, setting them down on solid floor. Another squeak, as V slid off the bed to stand beside Eldritch. The elder hippocampus used their tentacles to guide Eldritch to the door, opening it to let light spill in. Then, both parent and child stepped out into the light, both blinking to adjust. Eldritch squealed, hiding behind V’s back leg. V curled a tentacle over their child, gently leading them along.
Slowly the area opened into a common area, as V nosed Eldritch in front of them, proudly presenting the dark bay hippocampus, who squeaked in protest of the motion.
“This is Eldritch” The cook said.
“And they are my child.”

pip .. ..
 Post 1 | 221 words Pip sat in the middle of the common are, seemingly watching everyone else go by but barely paying attention. So far, he hadn't had a great time down here. There was some nice people, he supposed, but last night he was yelled at by several annoyed soldiers and then had to go down to the basement of the Bunker because everyone started singing drunkenly;though he came back up because there was others training there - was there nowhere quiet here? All he needed was sleep, and he had slept in for a while this morning before being woken again. So there he lay, idly pulling at the bandages around his leg without even knowing he was doing it. He had already left some vegetables in the ktichen, so nobody could really complain he hadn't done anything yet.
Pip snapped back to attention, distracted by V arriving in the common area, with... was that a child? He shifted his position, listening as more Vindicators turned to look at the chef.
"This is Eldritch," the cook spoke, and Pip leaned closer, listening. "And they are my child."
He heaved himself upward, wandering towards parent and child, smiling. "Congratulations. They're adorable!" he said quietly to V; then, bending down a tiny bit to see the child better, he greeted Eldritch. "Hey there, Eldritch. I'm Pip!"
