    Ben shook his head. "No. When it started thundering, I woke up." He answered. "Viper dropped off some guests." He motioned to the baby nagas between them.

    Emory looked at him and giggled, grinning when he saw the precious little babies. He picked them up, bouncing them gently in his arms. He slowly uncurled his body from Ben, holding them. "They n-need to be cl-cleaned."

    Emory looked at Ben. "If you w-will help me that w-would be great but if you d-don't want to that's fine too." He told him, nipping his cheek softly, biting lightly and giggling. "I b-bit you too."

    Ben laughed, kissing Emory gently. "You're cute." He murmured, hugging him close. "I'll help you." He assures him, wanting to at least try for Ivory.

    Emory handed over Ivory to Ben, since Ben seemed to enjoy the healthier baby much more. He didn't exactly like it, but Emory had to face it. The little runt he was caring for had a very small chance of survival, and was surely not given good ideals for it. He just wanted to try. He knew he himself was a small thing like Inferno at one point. He didn't even realize he had a hurt look as he slithered quickly towards the bathroom, looking at the little sickly naga's face.

    Ben followed after him, Ivory chirping at him from his arms. "Emory! It's yelling at me!" He called, sitting the naga in Emory's arm and taking Inferno. The sick naga laid his head against Ben's chest, blinking his runny eyes, even though they stayed closed. He was very quiet, but Ivory kept on chirping.

    tag yourself I'm Ivory's 3rd chirp


    Emory blinked when he heard Ivory begin to chirp constantly. Emory giggled when he heard Ben yell that the baby was yelling at him, willingly passing off his little sickly one to take the healthy plump little naga. He giggled and tickled his tummy a little, kissing his forehead before he turned around to go back to the room and fetch the ham slices. "Maybe he's hungry." He muttered, pulling a peice of ham apart to try and feed him.

    "He probably misses Viper." Ben told him. "He went out to see their father." He murmured, stroking Inferno's tail. Ivory happily ate his ham pieces.


    I'm the seventh one.

    Emory nodded and fed him the little pieces of ham, carrying him back towards the bathroom. "H-He'll be okay." He told Ben quietly, holding the baby as he started up the water. He was kind of quiet, but He didn't say anything about it.

    Emory glanced at him and whimpered, holding Ivory gently and glancing back at the water. He felt it to make sure it wasn't too hot or too cold before he tried to slip into it so he could hold the baby while he bathed him. "...I'm w-worried you don't l-like Inferno is a-all, I guess.." He muttered softly and gently dipped Ivory in the water.

    "I like Inferno, dear! Once you get past his gross eyes, he's really sweet." Ben answered. Ivory chirped at Emory, squirming in his arms.

    Emory sniffled a bit. "He c-c-can't help th-that." He muttered, holding Ivory a little fighters as he started to lightly splash the water against his body. He hoped he would get used to it. "...V-Viper said he p-p-probably won't even make it." He muttered, sniffling as his face turned a little red.

    Ben hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry..." He whispered, looking down. He blinked a few times, watching Ivory swim around the water happily while Inferno laid half heartedly on Emory's tail. He looked up at Emory with his runny eyes, blinking slowly.

    Emory looked at the little baby and gently took him by his sides, slowly moving him around in the water so maybe he could get a little strength by wiggling around in the water. He didn't say anything, but he looked hurt by how frail and subconsious he was. He couldn't do anything about it though.

    Inferno moved his tiny tail in the water, leaning lopsided on Emory's hand. Ben leaned agained Emory to watch, pressing a kiss to the smaller male's shoulder. "I love you." He whispered.

    Emory smiled softly at the little baby who wiggled his tail. He could tell he was trying and he loved that. "Look a-at you go I-Inferno!" He told him, touching his head and kissing it, glancing at Ben when he felt him kiss his shoulder. "I love you too." He muttered, making sure Ivory didn't get hurt either by keeping his tail close.

    Inferno let out a tired little chirp, nuzzling Emory's hand. Ben smiled a little as he watched him. He looked up when he heard the door open, then close. He awkwardly pulled himself from the bath and left downstairs to find Viper looking as small as ever. Ben curled himself around his friend, hugging him gently when the small naga leaning into his chest.

    Emory held the little naga, giggling when he chirped. He poked his nose softly, starting to pour soft soap onto their little bodies so he could wash them. He started to wash them, but when he heard the door open and close, Emory perked up a bit. He watched Ben go. "We're g-getting a bath, I'll be th-there soon!!"
