You might have found Cordis more troubling, in my experience. The Cordis Moonblessed I know all show a marked tendency towards cuddling among their changes.
[Iris makes you horny, but is that really worse than Cordis making you cuddly...]
[Grimmchild slips out from under Hubert's hand to go nuzzle at their parent, who begins to pet their head.]
I will return when I am called to do so, and I will fulfill my duty without regret. That said, knowing that my fated death is only a day or so after the point I was called from... does ease the desire to return home quite so soon.
[He's still going to go through with it, because he must, and because it is for the sake of his child. But even he isn't selfless enough to be in a hurry for it.]
There is someone important to me here, and I would hate to leave her alone. I hope we're returned sometime soon, but being by her side is more than enough for me.
[A brief nod, though calling her a "loved one" is... sort of awkward... It's not wrong, just not really in a sense most people mean it...?? Ugh, anyway.]
Her name is... [lady] Edelgard. She is... someone I have been very close to since childhood.
[It's sort of stilted, like he's not really sure that's the best way to put it, but it is true even if it's not revealing the exact nature of their relationship.]
[That gets his face to do something - it's not quite a smile, but it's a softer expression than he'd usually allow anyone to see, and he quickly steels it back into the usual.]
I imagine she'd find you both very interesting. And yes, I doubt she could resist giving a few pets.
[i mean you've got him over here being willing to give pets, there's no hope for edelgard]

[They would be charming on Hubert too!]
I am glad to hear that your suffering is not overmuch.
no subject
It isn't, certainly not when compared to what I've heard most people end up dealing with.
[...]
How have you been with regards to... [handwave] that.
no subject
[And that's all Hubert really wants to hear about that, absolutely no further details.]
no subject
At least it's manageable. I'm thankful I didn't end up with that moonblessing.
[can you imagine this man asking for help with that because hahahahaha no.]
no subject
[Iris makes you horny, but is that really worse than Cordis making you cuddly...]
no subject
[given this reaction, you are exactly right.]
I suppose I'm more fortunate than I realized to have this particular moonblessing.
[HE'D DIE]
no subject
Happy to help.
no subject
[He doesn't sound annoyed, at least. Maybe a touch exasperated, but that's probably expected.]
no subject
[Grimmchild lifts their head and meows, a bit... sadly?]
no subject
You don't want to return home as soon as possible?
[looking at grimmchild like "am i missing something here or is your dad the weird one in this situation"]
no subject
I will return when I am called to do so, and I will fulfill my duty without regret. That said, knowing that my fated death is only a day or so after the point I was called from... does ease the desire to return home quite so soon.
[He's still going to go through with it, because he must, and because it is for the sake of his child. But even he isn't selfless enough to be in a hurry for it.]
no subject
I understand. My apologies, I hadn't meant to be insensitive.
[Sometimes it's hard to remember that his desire to return home isn't quite the same as everyone else's.]
May you have all the time you want to spend here, then.
no subject
[Thankfully. Not everyone handles the looming specter of death so well.]
And may you return home as quickly as you desire.
no subject
There is someone important to me here, and I would hate to leave her alone. I hope we're returned sometime soon, but being by her side is more than enough for me.
no subject
[Which this isn't, thankfully.]
May I know her name?
no subject
Her name is... [lady] Edelgard. She is... someone I have been very close to since childhood.
[It's sort of stilted, like he's not really sure that's the best way to put it, but it is true even if it's not revealing the exact nature of their relationship.]
no subject
Ah, childhood friends are irreplaceable. I hope to meet her sometime.
[A soft nyah from the child.]
My child would like to know if she likes giving pets. A question with no ulterior motive, I am sure.
no subject
I imagine she'd find you both very interesting. And yes, I doubt she could resist giving a few pets.
[i mean you've got him over here being willing to give pets, there's no hope for edelgard]
no subject
We are both very much looking forward to it.
no subject
[And even though he's trying to downplay their exact relationship, that much is entirely too true.]
no subject
I shall treat her with the utmost courtesy, and look out for her if I am able.
no subject
[More than he can ever possibly express.]
no subject
[Grimmchild is very easy to be kind to, but still.]
no subject
no subject
Grimmchild flits back over to Hubert's side of the table, slower this time so they don't surprise him.]
And they you. They do so enjoy making new friends here.
