Hika’s curious silver gaze looked over Mort’s shoulder as he gently lifted the newborn and began to gently clean her. Obviously she was recently born from the after birth that clung to her wet fur. Mort’s careful cleaning soon revealed a tiny girl that looked so much like Mortis. The dark coat, blue markings, her tiny fluff coated wings… Mortis mentioned those wings just as Hika’s eyes fell upon them. No, this had to be Mort’s daughter but how? They were together now, there had been no one else in the den all night. How had she came to be? What was even stranger was along with Mort’s scent his mingled as well.

Hikaru leaned into Mort’s affections as the winged man went on, offering his own train of thought. Nothing of it made sense except perhaps that she had been the result of a heartfelt wish. The koi couldn’t deny how adorable she was, and the feeling of affection he felt as he watched Mort hold her to his chest protectively.

"Yes, she needs to eat.” He concurred, the tiny girl was already whimpering softly of hunger pains. "But she’s ours.” He continued determinedly. "I don’t know how she came to be, but it doesn’t matter.” He smiled with those words, enchanted at the thought of being a dad with Mort.
