"It's....weird" the greedy one said, nodding slightly. There was no other way to explain it, though he did enjoy it. This wasn't anything he had wanted at first---mostly because as far as he knew, it was unattainable. But, he did like having children, though he had no idea what to do with them.

"You'll get used to it mister Greed. And you'll grow attatched to them in just a small matter of time as well." Loa assured his boss. It must be rather strange though, for a soulless homonculus to have such a fragile things as babies.

Greed nodded, suddenly feeling one of his hands being grabbed and pulled. On reflex he covered the hand with his shield. Soft gurgling brought his attention to the baby in his arms. Ariana was staring at her father's now black hand, attempting to apparently lean forward to suck on the pointed fingers.

Loa leaned forwards to see what was happening as he grinned amused by the sight. It was rather cute on a own very unique way.

"What do I do now?" Greed asked, staring at his newborn daughter who was reaching for his taloned fingers. God, this made him feel somewhat stupid. He had to ask his comrades for advice on everything. On the upside, the young woman was keeping Rico entertained, tickling him under the chin and the like.

"Well maybe it would be safer if you pulled back your shield mister Greed." Loa tried to advice. "So she wouldn't happen hurting herself on accident by the claw nails." He suggested. "Play with her a bit." He added eventually with a small smile.

"You want me to do what" Greed asked when Loa suggested playing with Ariana. The homunculus was silent for a few moments before shaking his head slowly. It was his way of saying, 'no-chance-in-fuckin'-hell' without actually saying anything.

"Play with her mister Greed." The bull chimera repeated calmly. "How else do you expect to father-daughter bond with her." He explained patiently. "It won't hurt you to play around with her a bit instead of just holding her like that. And you can't expect Martel to take all the responsibility as it is yours as well."

Greed blanched slightly. "Well can't I wait until she's...less likely to break?" he asked, glancing at the baby girl who was returning the look, babbling happily.

Loa couldn't help himself from chuckling at this. "Then you'll probably have to wait quite a while." He said amused. "Don't worry Mister Greed I'm sure it'll work out just fine. Just be careful and tickle her or something."The chimera suggested.
"Mister Greed, Mister Greed." The small chimera rushed into the Nest. He was carrying a big paper bag as he came to a stop in front of the the couch where his boss, Loa and Ariana were. "I got what you asked for mister Greed." Bido said before he actually took notice or Ariana. "Oooooow a baby?" He blinked at the little girl. "How did it end up here?" The chimera asked curiously. As only Loa and Dorochette knew about the twins and it being Greed and Martel their kids, Bido was quite curious as to what a baby (he had noticed Rico but thought he was with the lady holding him, however Greed holding a baby was a bit stranger) was doing in a bar.

Greed smiled slightly when Bido ran up to him, thankful for something to keep him from discussing this with Loa. "How did they get here how" he asked the gecko chimera. He put an empthasis on the word how to show he wanted Bido to be more specific. Did he want to know how the baby had gotten to the Nest, or did he want his boss to explain the birds and the bees?

Bido blinked at his boss for a moment, not quite getting what was wrong with his question. But when he realised just what Greed must all have been considering he sweatdropped sheepishly. "What are babies doing in the Devils Nest?" He rephrased his question. "And I never though of you as the nursing type mister Greed." The small chimera chuckled after it.

"Well, they're kinda Martel's babies" the homunculus said, chuckling slightly. He shifted slightly to keep Ariana from apparently rolling out of his arms before continuing. "And I definitely couldn't kick her out".

"Kinda?" The gecko chimera questioned as he had put the paper bag aside and leaned forwards to curiously look at the little baby, his tail adding to the effect as it swayed around the slightest bit. "Hey it does look like Martel a bit." Bido commented with a grin as he looked at the baby girl. "Wait? Martel got babies? Multiple babies? You mean the one over there? When did that happen?" He asked confused as he didn't quite remember Martel running around with a stumach as a balloon lately. Then the curious little chimera notised something else. "Oooh it has Martel's tattoo?" He pointed at the faint red mark on the babies stomach as he normally linked it to Martels red tattoo on her face and shoulder as he didn't knew about Greed his part in this yet.

"It's complicated, Bido. Let's just say some old 'friends' of mine captured her and made her have them way too early" Greed said, glancing at both of the infants. Hearing the gecko chimera make a comment about the red mark on Ariana's stomach. He gave a little half-laugh and said, "I think that comes more from me". As if trying to get Bido to figure it out with some hints, Greed glanced at his left hand, where the Ouroburos tattoo stood, with the same red marks in the center.

"Nice friends you have." Bido couldn't help but comment doubtfully. When Greed laughed at his comment though Bido only looked confused at first. "From you mister Greed?" The chimera asked confused, kind of lost at first. When he caught Greed his glance he followed it before he noticed the Ouroburos tattoo. When he saw that he quickly put one and one together as he blinked at his boss surprised. "You got babies?!" He stated, still procesing the news. Well that was defenitly new. Once Bido was over the shocking new news he quickly grinned as he looked at the baby Greed held. "Will they be able to stretch? Do they have shields? Can they heal like you do? Are they cold bloody? Because you need to keep them warm then. If I had known that I would have brought more stuff. Is Martel alright?" Bido chippered as he flooded a stream of questions over Greed once he compleetly understood the situation.

Greed held up his free hand, signaling for Bido to calm down. He then began answering the questions the little chimera had been asking. "According to Dorochet, they're pretty much normal babies for now---no idea what they'll be like when they're older. Yeah, they'll probably be able to heal, if not already. I don't think they're cold-blooded". He paused slightly when Bido asked if Martel was alright. The homunculus shrugged a little and explained, "I think so---she's just tired from what those bastards put her through".

Bido quickly when quite when signed to as he nodded, waiting eagerly for some answers. He nodded again, seeming satisfied with the answers. He couldn't help but curiously lean closer to Ariana again, looking at the baby. A person covered in scales and with a tail must be pretty weird, and for once Bido knew how all those people who stared at him must feel curious as he equally stared at the little baby.

Ariana stared at Bido in silence for a few moments, dark gray eyes seeming to scan his entire face. Suddenly she gurgled, throwing her arm out and hitting the gecko chimera in the nose. "Gadabaaba" the small infant babled, almost as though she was laughing at what she had just done.

Bido had been equally staring back before he got a baby arm wacked in his face. "Ow!" The gecko chimera immidiatly created some distance as he rubbed his nose. "Sadist baby." He muttered as he looked at the baby a bit suspicious.
