"DaAAad," Did Kirby's voice just crack? "My voice keeps chAnging for no reason... What do I dO?"
Galacta can do nothing but blink once in genuine surprise as he processes that yes, this is Kirby’s voice, and that he’s not just hearing things. He knows Kirby is around that age where his voice should be developing further, but this is a far cry from the change he’s used to. Most members of his kind start learning how to speak in common instead of in poyos around this age. The transition is smoother for some than it is for others, but he’s never seen a kid get so…squeaky, for lack of a better word.
Nonetheless, Kirby seems pretty perturbed by the frequently-changing pitch of his voice, so if there was ever a moment for some gentle reassurance, it’s now.
❝Oh, sweetheart, this is perfectly normal for your age! I think.❞ He’ll have to follow up with Meta to confirm if that’s true or not. ❝You’re about at the point where your voice should be getting deeper. Going through these changes is all a part of the process–even if it does feel a little awkward at first.❞
