The Small Ones [Open]

Damn… he didn’t even know what to say anymore. How to express this situation, or how to express his exhaustion. The sheer, black rings over his darkened eyes spoke volumes of the sleepless nights he’d conquered up until now, clawing away at his sanity. He was a little fidgety, too. He had to be ready with the formula, after all. He couldn’t afford to faint, or they’d be worried for him. Probably cry a lot. Babies cry a lot. Did you know that? He sure should’ve known – he was once a baby, too.

Dad… I should’ve asked in advance…

Fairy Tail was his safe haven, so by pure fucking instinct, he drove the pram over there in the noon. Straight into the guild hall, so he could greet the guests, y’know, hello, he was still alive… just hanging in there, y’know. As much as he could…

…

And then find a seat nearby… and take a 5 minute snooze next to the pram holding the twins, each crawling about in there, glancing at the various things around. Mura kept jolting back up awake in an interval of a few seconds, as if frequently poked by an electrical socket.

Celestia had spent most of the morning milling around the guild. She'd tidied up three messes, two fights and and spoken with an overzealous potential prospect who really wanted to join the guild. She now had positioned herself at the bar contently having a drink. She watched the general madness of Fairy Tail continue as normal. Most were either relaxing, giving each other grief or looking at the job board. She had intended to look at the board herself but for now she was going to enjoy her drink.

Her eyes opened wider for a second emphasising her amerthyst Irises. The familiar shape of Mura skulked, for want of a better word, into the guild, pram in tow. A grin came to her face as she hopped from her seat. She waves enthusiatcially at the guildmaster and approached. He looked haggered. Clearly late nights and feeds had started to take their toll on him. "Sorry boss, but you look like crap..." It was the best thing she could come out with currently.
