#furusato chirps

[hatchlings-everywhere]

Aster checks up on the kids in the playpen. He chirps a greeting, watching them.

@master-of-d1saster

{The twins are playing with each other until they notice Aster. Furusato peeps and chips loudly at his dad while Marlow soon joins him. Akira, however, watches Aster before hissing quietly and hiding away.}

[hatchlings-everywhere]

Asha goes to Furusato and Marlow. She giggles and puts the recreated goggle on Furusato's head.

@heart-of-the-family

{Furusato peeps around, feeling over the goggles before peeping excitedly. Marlow watches his brother, giggling.}

A-tuh!

[hatchlings-everywhere]

Heavy steps are approaching and soon Aster can be seen running up to the hatchlings. He chirps call to them, holding his arms out to them.

@master-of-d1saster

{Furusato and Marlow were playing with Akira napping nearby. Upon seeing Aster the boys squeal loudly, going over to him with loud chirps and shouts.}

Dada~!

A-tuh!

{Akira stirs and wakes at the loud squealing, and while she sees Aster, unlike her brothers she stays put.}

[hatchlings-everywhere]

Aster goes through the sewers until he xits towards the ocean. He grabs the hatchling and holds him in his paws warm while showing the big water to him.

@master-of-d1saster

{Furusato peeps quietly, clinging onto Aster even more as they get near the water.}

[hatchlings-everywhere]

Aster, once normal again, checks on Marlow and Furusato.

@master-of-d1saster

{Marlow peeps, nudging Furusato. Furusato cheeps quietly, weakly trying to push Marlow away, but otherwise doesn't really respond.}

[hatchlings-everywhere]

"No. The river is connected with the lake and with another river. But before that there is a waterfall... Take a deep breath."

Aster waits for a moment before diving down. He holds on to Furusato as he swims fast after Marlow. At some point he's under the youngling.

@master-of-d1saster

{Furusato nods before holding his breath. Sato clings to Aster as he swims under the water after Marlow.}

[hatchlings-everywhere]

While Chiisai trains Furusato and Marlow...

...Iris watches Akira while she reads. He smiles softly, while sitting next to her.

@pancake-at-midnight

{Akira reads before looking over to Iris, tilting her head.}

[hatchlings-everywhere]

Aster goes into the water again with the hatchlings. He makes sure they're comfortable enough before he lets them swim alone.

@master-of-d1saster

{They both peep around, swimming in the water. Marlow tucks himself in the vegetation and playfully tackles Furusato as he gets close enough.}
