[He’s trying hard to focus, totally drained. He puts a hand on Arthur’s back and pulls him tighter.]

Nott is going to give me hell for semi-adopting more teenagers.

[His voice is weak, but it’s there.]

[King actually laughs at that. It's incredibly forced, and everyone should be able to tell, but like Caleb's voice, it's there.]

You think you're the only one? Bailey and everyone else I know is going to be asking forever about how I got close to so many humans.

[Let alone enough that he feels fatherly toward some of them.]

[katzenpfote]

... I.. I didn’t have siblings. Maybe for the best. But for what it’s worth, I’d want them to be like you.

[unwittingking]

I...don't have any either, so the feelings are mutual.

[It feels weird saying that, but not because it's lie; it's more true than he may have expected. Just odd, saying it to a human.]
