tears of joy? i'll try. brethrens — (a little nursery-age feral running clumsily over to eeth koth excitedly and saying 'baba' as if he's trying to say 'papa'. he hugs eeth's legs and stares up at him.)
He never intended to be away from his little collection of younglings within the temple for terribly long, but sometimes the outside galaxy called him more than the darling clan of little ones. It made the moment they were reunited again that much sweeter. Both of his hearts called for one little tot in particular, a young dathomirian who didn’t seem to have a miserable bone in his body. Some would say he was spending too much time with the child, that it looked like attachment, but Eeth knew more than they did. Zabraks need some sort of clan to feel comfortable.
Oh, how his hearts soared at the enthusiasm Feral had upon seeing him again. The way all his weight leaned against Eeth’s leg, and the stumbled attempts at speaking. His smile radiated nothing but warmth, a distinctly high pitch loving purr fluctuating from his chest. Not even in his wildest dreams would he imagine having such a lovely child viewing him in such a high role. Kneeling down briefly, a hand on each side of his ribs, Feral was scooped into the air, brought to have a kiss placed on his forehead, and balanced on his hip. It was undeniable that his eyes had a particularly glossy look to them, but he’d deny the presence of any tears.
“Hello my beautiful ray of sunshine, I’ve missed you dearly. I hope you’ve been good to your brothers while I was gone? Hm? I hope so.” The chirps in the purrs carried in his voice, kisses lovingly pressed to the cheeks of the tot.
