[there's a questioning chirrup when baby gets moved! Michiru pulls back and glances down when she feels a tug on her shirt where baby had been holding on. And then she's looking at you, endlessly amused.

Lulu hasn't even looked over. The face licking is much too common, apparently.]

[ Gold likes the face licking because the humans always look so happy! (He found out the hard way that he's not allowed to try to lick Trainer's face.) Right now he's more interested in Lulu's painting, though. Look at all that paint!

Haruka just looks back at Michiru, smirking. What? ] One minute.

[ Let's set baby up on the ground nice and comfy. Here's your fun wrapping paper....here's your plush friend. And here are both of Haruka's hands, free to loop around Michiru's waist. ] That's much better.

[ They'll still have to be quick because unsupervised kid, but isn't this much more comfortable? ]

[Lulu takes a step back to assess the painting in its entirety, paint dripping a little onto the cloth tarp her Trainer had spread over the table. Hey, this kinda looks like vines!]

Rose... [but is it better for paintings to look like things or is it bettet for them not to make sense?]

You're quite a risk taker. [Michiru's leaning in for a quick kiss, however.]

Pri?

...Prii! [~~she's free!!~~ hey, what's that shiny thing over there?]

Jolteon? [ Hmm. Your Trainer might be a better person to ask about paintings, but since you're the one painting it, don't you get to make it look however you want? Gold likes all the colors, personally....

Haruka smirks. Nobody in this room would ever let anything happen to baby. Unless you mean she's pushing it by setting your child down unsupervised, in which case....yes, that is a calculated risk she's willing to take. ] Not really.

[ She returns the kiss. Please, baby. Don't wander somewhere dangerous. ]

Selia... [she did! And her Trainer said both were 'valid forms of art' or something and then said a lot more words ~~until Trainer noticed her eyes had glazed over.~~

And Michiru is casually draping her arms across your shoulders.] Mmm. [it's nice, being able to kiss you without getting on tiptoe. And it's not like she leaves stuff out, dangerous or not, all over her studio. Baby can't get in that much trouble.]

Toge!

[Michiru stiffens and turns to look. Baby sounds much too happy about poking at precarious bottles of glitter Lulu had been considering before.]

Jolt! [ Oh, no, someone left the baby unattended! Gold bobs his head to Lulu - excuse him - and trots over to where Minuet is looking at the glitter. Uh, he doesn't want to get too close, baby, but -

His paw slips. Haruka lunges. That baby is not becoming a glittery Salvation ornament on her watch! No matter how far she has to lean, or what ridiculous-yet-cool pose she ends up in at the end of it, she will lift that child out of harm's way!

And whatever happens to Gold, he deserves. ]

[..whoa!! Things sure are happening quickly!] Toge toge! [and that's a happy eggbaby, chirruping at you. Do that again!

And...that's probably Gold getting glitterbombed. Lulu looks super concerned and gingerly hops on down to the floor.]

[ Glitterbombed indeed. Gold sneezes, snorting glitter onto the tarp, and shakes his ears out to dislodge some of the sparkles. Haruka exhales, baby safely perched in both hands high above her head.

Still getting her pulse back under control, she passes the child off to its Mommy. ] No harm done.

[ Look, baby even looks happy and excited! Haruka grins. You're a trouper, kid. You have a lot of near misses, but you're a trouper. ]

[Michiru takes the baby back, fussing a little over her. Baby trills happily, completely unaware of the terrible danger she was in.

Heh.] Thank you.

[the area surrounding the point of impact shimmers in a soft haze of glitter and well. Let's hope Natto will like sparkles in his painting.]

[ ...He got glitter on Lulu's picture. It shouldn't be possible to look devastated while covered in sparkles and excitement the way Gold is right now, but he manages it. Lulu, he is so sorry! Do you want him to clean it up? Or do you want him to back off? You might be able to paint over it, too...

...Why does this always happen when he tries to help? ] Jol.

[ Haruka peers over Michiru's shoulder to play with baby, too. Cute kid. ] Are you teaching her anything?

[ Or is baby a permanent toddler. She's certainly become quite an efficient little waddler... ]

[Lulu had seemed more concerned for Gold after that sparkle attack, but Gold's reaction gets her to look back at her painting.

....oh! It's actually...really eye-catching! Look, Gold! It sparkles differently when you tilt your head! ~~At least she hasn't added macaroni to it yet.~~

Baby wiggles, chirruping up at Haruka. Do that fast thing again!]

I've tried, but she didn't seem very interested. [meaning baby was more liable to hug the training dummy than to go through the motions of a tackle. And meaning that Michiru didn't try especially hard.]

[ Does it? Gold tilts his head, and a small cascade of glitter falls onto the tarp. Whoa. Whooooaaa. Will it look different if he tilts his head the other way?

His ear is practically touching the ground now. This is fascinating. But, more importantly....he didn't mess up everything? ] Ee.

[ No fast thing while Mommy's got you, baby, but Haruka will give baby a hand to play with, moving her fingers. Dexterity exercise. Can you keep her fingers from slipping out of your grip? ] We can't all be fighters.

[ And that's okay. Minuet is being raised in love and peace, with an ideal childhood. Preserving that is important to Haruka, too. What a sweet kid.

Haruka makes a better dad than she will ever, ever admit. ]

[Lulu looks a bit confused at that, but then shakes her head emphatically. No way! He made it even prettier!] Rose! [they should say it's a gift from both of them!]

No, I suppose not. [baby trills happily at the game, though her wiggling intensifies whenever the fingers slip away.

That's a smile down at baby, and then at you.] We'll see what she's interested in later on.

Jolteon! [ Oh, he couldn't! He couldn't piggyback on your gift, you worked so hard! This was....they could just call this him helping, if you wanted. He does like to help. So...it's been his pleasure?

Haruka smiles too. She lets baby catch her fingers, hoping that will keep her enthralled enough to get in a ridiculously fond, shoujo look at Michiru. So she spent the holiday giving her partner a gift and playing with her partner's baby. This kind of domestic thing isn't so bad once in a while. ] Happy Salvation.

[ If they're careful, they can cuddle around the baby. ]

[Lulu looks a little disappointed, but she nods. Thanks for helping her!

Baby seems delighted by her accomplishment and will immediately try to nom on those fingers.

Michiru leans in a little, looking amusedly at baby for a moment before smiling at you.]

Yours is at home.

[ Gold has a feeling he might have said the wrong thing, but he was honest about it - he doesn't want to take credit for an accident. Are you going to add any more paint to the painting? ] Eon ee?

I can wait. [ She's plenty satisfied with their current arrangement. Even baby is getting to nom to her heart's content. (Since it's Haruka, maybe she even tastes amazing. Who knows.)

These heels leave Michiru's head at a good lean-on height. ]

Rose... [wellllll....maybe! Look! If she adds on this swirl of yellow here, it kinda makes it look like the sparkles are highlighting it!

Michiru just nuzzles lightly into you. For the record, your gift is a year's worth of insurance with a masonry and landscaping company. For some odd reason.]

Joooool. [ Gold's jaw drops in appreciation. He gets it! Lulu is so smart about colors and stuff. That's a really gorgeous painting.

Haruka has no idea why she might be receiving such a gift at all. Nope. Fortunately, getting to spend every day with you is a gift in and of itself - which is probably why you're getting a kiss to the top of your head. This is a good, peaceful moment. This moment should last forever. (Who knows what's happening to her fingers, though.)

Haruka looks over, noticing Lulu's painting. ] How abstract.

[oh wow, Gold is super nice about this! Maybe Lulu ought to try this painting stuff more often. Or better yet, maybe they can work on something together.

There's nomming going on! Though it's more like gumming, really. Aaand nope, your hand is getting replaced with Mommy's. Holding onto hands is okay, but chewing on them isn't.

Michiru glances over at the painting too.

Heh.] We'll need to get a frame for that one.

Our contribution? [ That would be a gift for both Lulu and Natto, wouldn't it. They've worked hard, though. They deserve it.

Haruka will try to resist wiping her fingers on herself, but having Togepi spit on them does feel weird. She watches Gold to distract herself, who seems torn between modestly deferring the compliment and soaking it up. You really think he could paint? All he does is make a mess...

...or does that mean he'd make a good painter? Because he'd be getting paint all over himself on purpose? He's willing to try sometime if she's willing to put up with him! Natto can come too since he knows you guys are friends, but Natto tends to like to stay clean. ] Jolteon! Jol!

[ He's so happy, he sparks. But he's standing far enough back that he shouldn't shock anybody - hopefully. ]

Roselia! [that's okay! Her Trainer had shown her these paintings that were super messy but they were art anyway! They were even hanging up on walls and stuff.]

It should work out nicely. [as nicely as that particular friendship is happening, probably. It's probably harder to feel competent when Gold hangs out with Martelé that much.

And she's holding up a handkerchief to you, looking amused.]

[ Gold has very little positive reinforcement in his life. Natto tries, but Natto is so talented in his chosen field that Gold feels small by comparison. He doesn't even have a chosen field! So...maybe he can try art. Just a little. It's worth a shot. ] Eon!

[ Can he help you clean up the area?

Haruka, for that matter, makes quick work of her own mess and pockets the handkerchief. Michiru can have it back once it's washed. ] They really are soft...

[ As are you, when it comes to them. But you're not the one who let a baby eat her, so Haruka probably shouldn't even be talking. ]

[lessee...she has to clean up this palette thing, but the painting is still kinda wet...]

As long as they're happy. [and as long as they do all their art experiments over a tarp]

All done? [Lulu nods happily and yup, you're getting baby again as Michiru heads over to help set the painting aside.]

[ Yeah, get that out of Gold's way before he starts cleaning up. He's looking at the tarp as if he's considering moving that as his contribution.

Hello, baby. Haruka hefts the Togepi in her arms, then pats Minuet's back. You're having a busy day with all this baby tag, huh, kiddo. ] How soon is naptime?

[ That is when they can be alone....plus, if she should start trying to make this baby sleepy, she should know. ]

[baby burbles happily to herself and doesn't really seem to mind the baby tag. You're not mommy, but you're pretty close to mommy.

Michiru pauses for a moment to look over the art project and then turns her smile to the two Pokemon before carefully picking it up.] Let me lean it over there to dry.

[Lulu hops a little in excitement and then grins at Gold. Hey, her Trainer seems to like it!]

An hour or two, depending.
