thinking about little waterboy. oughhhh.... hed be the sweetest little thing... robert wont say it out loud but god he loves watching over hermy when hes tiny :( little herm and carer robert blabbing bellow cut @_@
herm never had stuffed animals growing up cause they would get soggy but he always wanted them so robert finds waterproof stuffed animals made for pools and such ... and spends time figuring out the best sprays and coatings to make stuffed animals water resistant oughfhhg
i think his powers are significantly more up and down when hes small .. sometimes he gets so nervous and so self conscious he ends up in a big puddle and it only makes him more nervous and damp :( he only dries up a bit with kisses from beef and nice praises from robert
i think.. both robert and herm want herm to call him a title like papa or dad but herm is waaayy too nervous to and roberts waiting for him to say something first
robert would call him very dadlike petnames... bud/buddy/bub, kid/kiddo, champ... oughh... when hermys feeling a little smaller than usual robert will slip into softer nicknames like hun and sweetheart and baby...
herm will trudge over to him with somehow bigger and sadder eyes than usual and robert immediately knows, smart as always... hell pat herms head and his voice will be so soft with a "hey little man... you want to hold a beef?" and it will always be met with a nod and a sniffle and a damp head leaning into roberts hand AAGHHHH so full of thoughts
