[hagrides]

[When Hubert starts petting them, Grimmchild starts to purr. All is well in the world now.]

Indeed they are. And filled with a curiousity about the world around them. If they were not effectively immortal, I might worry about the trouble they could get into.

[darkseal]

Considering what little I know of children, immortality sounds like a blessing.

[Seriously, kids get into so much trouble??? Damn.]

I'm sure there's much for them to discover here. Have they been settling in well?

[And don't worry, he's not stopping with the pets. His expression also might have slipped into something a little more gentle, but shhhh.]

[hagrides]

[Grimm won't call him on it. That might mean he'd stop making that expression.]

They have. Lunatia is far more alive than the land they come from, and they are endlessly delighted by such things as parks. And meeting as curious a species as humans, of course.

[darkseal]

[He absolutely would, so good call!!

That does get a smirk from him, though it's still more gentle than any of his usual expressions.]

We certainly are an odd bunch, aren't we.

[hagrides]

Indeed. It is one of your many charming features.

What was it you wished to discuss?

[You know, before they got distracted by Baby.]

[darkseal]

[Oh, right...]

I wanted to thank you again for the information you gave me before. It's proven very useful in getting settled here.

[Although he's not actually settled but that's not the point!!]

There's still much I have to learn about this world. Much of my time has been focused on dealing with... individuals from my home.

[different routes are hell!!!!]

And it has been some time since we last spoke, so I thought it would be best to meet again.

[goddamn he is so bad at friendship]

[hagrides]

[He's doing his best and Grimm supports him.]

More of the unpleasant individuals from your home than the pleasant ones have arrived?

[He's very fortunate that he either knows the canonmates here or can get along with them because of shared friends and family.]

[darkseal]

In my opinion, yes.

[...]

Though I will admit I am biased against many of them.

[They could be perfectly acceptable individuals but war is hell and most of them are his enemies so ehhh.]

[hagrides]

That is, to use a new expression, only human.

[is he hip with the kids' lingo now]

[darkseal]

[ur doin gr8 grimm]

Very true.

At the very least, our quarrel back home doesn't seem to be something any of them are interested in pursuing here.

[For now. He's not entirely sure that's how things will remain, but many of them got him gifts??? He hates it.]

[hagrides]

There are troubles enough in Lunatia without bringing in old grievances.

[Speaking of one particular recurring trouble:]

How have the moons treated you?

[darkseal]

[Ah, yes, that. Hubert's gaze darts for a moment before he corrects it.]

I've been lucky enough not to deal with any major changes, though it certainly hasn't been an easy adjustment.

[...is that even an answer???]

[hagrides]

[Sometimes a non-answer is particularly telling.]

Which moon are you afflicted by?

[darkseal]

Sanguis.

[There isn't really any reason to keep it hidden, although that always remains his default instinct. Hubert shifts a bit, turning that coffee cup to give him something to do with his hands.]

As I said, the effects haven't been nearly as bad as they are for some others.

[hagrides]

Ah, Sanguis. A friend of mine acquires very fetching snake features under that blessing.

[They would be charming on Hubert too!]

I am glad to hear that your suffering is not overmuch.

[darkseal]

[Thanks, Grimm... Maybe someday he'll get to be more snakelike...]

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.

[hagrides]

...With arrangements, Iris is manageable.

[And that's all Hubert really wants to hear about that, absolutely no further details.]

[darkseal]

[Very, very fair.]

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.]

[hagrides]

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...]

[darkseal]

...Cuddling.

[given this reaction, you are exactly right.]

I suppose I'm more fortunate than I realized to have this particular moonblessing.

[HE'D DIE]

[hagrides]

[this poor goth.]

Happy to help.

[darkseal]

It seems there's still plenty I have to learn about this world.

[He doesn't sound annoyed, at least. Maybe a touch exasperated, but that's probably expected.]

[hagrides]

Indeed. I may never run out of fascinating things to learn about this place - I can only hope I stay long enough to exhaust my curiosity.

[Grimmchild lifts their head and meows, a bit... sadly?]

[darkseal]

[...That's an... interesting take...]

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"]

[hagrides]

[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.]
