Kid Jade and Kid Floyd that Yuu had to babysit until crowley could turn them back to normal. Or maybe seeing a kid Azul that Yuu will protect with their life.
"They bite Crowley"
*vibrates with ideas* *baby tweels more then kid tweels*
Yuu tries to sit in the chair across from Crewel and Crowley as best he could while keeping a hold of the slippery backs of both tiny eels clutching his clothes. Jade was the easiest as he had his little claws sunk into Yuu's jacket and had his tail wrapped around Yuu waist, almost turning himself into his own swaddle. Floyd was far harder as he had clawed his way onto Yuu's back and was already coming back around to climb to the front with Jade, his tail flicking slime and water as it hit against Yuu's back when he starts to reach for his twin. Chirping fills the space before anyone speaks.
Yuu was covered from head-to-toe in water and mucus, but seemingly got used to it as Azul sends an almost inquisitive look his way. Yuu, for all he's seemingly gone through, looks fine except for the wet squeaks his sneakers make as he nearly trips each couple steps.
"I see they're in good health, because of the color of their scales. But your complexion is... worse for wear." Azul notes, his glasses needing readjusting as he says this.
"Indeed, it seems your health is not at the best while caring for another's students." Crewel speaks, taking a dip into Azul's reasoning for not being able to care for them. "As it usually does. This is a Vice Housewarden that was affected."
"And it would be the house I warden that would be useless for my dear eels, title or not." Azul, with enough gusto to actually call into question if he was genuine or not, does look dejected and concerned. He finishes before anyone prompts him. "You see, we are all-hands-on-deck working at the Lounge and without two of my managers, I'm leading staff with backups that I barely trust with money. I've recounted five times as much money since Jade and Floyd... left."
Yuu finally speaks, and it sounds tired. "Left you for a bathtub in Ramshackle... And why couldn't we use the tank in Octavinelle? Doesn't it have fresh water for them?"
This time, Crewel answers while shaking his head. "No dice. Sea life don't do well in prolonged stays of filtered water, they could end up bleached if something goes wrong."
"And our fish in the tank make a perfect ecosystem where they can coexist for up to four months at a time. I can't trust baby eels to not hunt the decorations for food and bloat themselves." Azul shakes his head as well.
Yuu concedes with a nod and huff. "So that's why you have an Octavinelle student drop off liters of water every night. I just thought it was fresh water, but I guess it's sea water."
Crowley now speaks as he approaches Yuu and the tiny, squirming Tweels. "With my authorization, yes, they do collect sea water for them after school hours. We don't want them to become si一AUGH!"
Crowley's pointer finger went into Jade's mouth as quickly as it entered his space. For all that it's worth, Jade was the most behaved of the two as he kicks up a fuss only a third of the time compared to Floyd. But Jade, as Yuu had learned, was faster to lunge at intruders compared to a silly mood Floyd. Grim had nearly learned that the hard way after Yuu had fed them fresh tuna and Grim had tried to swipe a piece.
The gold on Crowley's glove barely saved his finger from bleeding as you hear the sound of boney teeth rattling in metal, before it stops as Crowley rips his finger away. Jade goes back to clinging Yuu and all noises of his go silent, the opposite of Floyd. Floyd now starts to let out huffs of laughter as it hisses through his big smile. At least someone was enjoying themselves.
Azul let's out a tsk tsk before gently waving a finger in front of Jade's nose. "Jade, you know better then to bite. Scratch, don't bite... Don't focus your eyes on me, un-slit those eyes. No biting."
Jade let's out a hiss. Azul continues to playfully scold him, obviously seeing the small child's cheeks puff in indignation. Floyd fell forward onto Yuu's lap and Yuu just grabs at him to hold the kid to him. Crewel thinks of solutions as Crowley looks at his bite mark and asks, "Do you think I might need a healing potion? Maybe?"
YES. YES. GOOD CHILDREN. BITE THE OLD MAN.
