"Mm. I could use a shower." Siren says, looking at himself. There is no 'hey sex!' vibe coming from him at all.

Good. Because we both smell like an odd mix of mothballs and snowy-sweaty gloves. *Del muses stepping out of the shower to trun on the tap until there is hot water coming out of it before taking off her clothes.*

Siren grabs her clothing and deposits it, along with his own in the laundry hamper with a quick check in on the babies, who are still sleeping soundly.

Then he joins Delphi in the warm shower water. "Jubblies will be up soon. I give us two hours of good rest." he says, as the spray hits him.

Sheesh that isn't really enough time. We could feed and change them easily enough but they'll be up. I am sure they'll want to play. *Del says wishing they would want to just go back to sleep so she can get some rest, Siren could use some too.* Just dump them back in their pen and hope they can amuse each other?*She suggests.*

"An option. I could- turn around, lemme get your back. I could sing-dope them." Siren points out, hesitantly.

No I know you don't want to do that. *Del says turning around and presenting her back to Siren.* It is too early to ask someone else to watch them, we'll just leave them in the pen with plenty of toys and deal with them when necessary.

"I don't want to do that all the time." He emphasises. "It's ok... ocasionally...." He wipes some water and hair out of his eyes, his long hair hanging in his face. "Do you think they're ok to be by themselfs like that?"

We'll be in the room and it isn't like I wouldn't pick up on something going wrong, the same for you. *Del says, running a few fingers through Siren Hair to brush it out of his face a little.*

Siren's a worrywort about his kids. "You're right. I just worry." He says, smiling. "Hnn. You're right again... my hair is getting long."

I'll cut it when we get back to the institute, for now it will do. *Del says slipping out of the shower and toweling off. She does a quick run through of her hair and manages to brush her teeth at the same time. She then slips in to her warm flannel PJs.* Nobody is here yet, you can make a run for the room and not worry about not having any PJs in here. *Del tells him.*

"There are always towels." Siren points out, and yawns. "Alright. Bed." He says, as they head towards the room.

In the room, Aria is sitting up, awake, and silent. Her two siblings are both still asleep. But she... she's just sittng there, all child of the corn like.

*Del walks over and picks her up without hesistating.* Hey, there Aria, are you all done sleeping? *Del asks and then tilts her head a little, like she is studying her daughter.*

"Muhhhhnnuhaw." She says simply, doing her best to hug her mother. Siren peeks over.

"What's up?"

It is just . . .nothing, I think. *Del says obviously still trying to figure something out but not wanting to look stupid voicing her thoughts. She hugs her daughter back and sits down on the edge of her and Siren's bed.*

"Why was she just... sitting there?" Siren looks at his daughter, who is nesting into Delphi. "<Hnn? Aiko? You ok? You don't want food or a change or to play?>"
