Babydaddy's a loser. +373


Levent had spent a lot of time preparing for the coming of his children. When he wasn't doing his normal duties, he was commonly seen ranging outside of the pack territory, often returning with strange objects such as old stuffed animals or plastic bones and once a deflated beach ball. Wilson had remarked that he looked like a hoarder, and indeed much of his stone house was full of these knickknacks on top of his trading goods. The father-to-be was silent on the subject if any of his allies asked him, but anyone could put two and two together if they looked at him.


Despite his apparent business, the one thing others probably couldn't get a feel for were his emotions about the whole thing. He often hummed cheery tunes as he made room for the assorted toys and blankets, but there was a blankness about him; his grins were the usual grins he cultivated for the sake of others.


The truth was that Levent himself didn't know what he should be feeling. He was anxiously excited, but he didn't want to lose his cool, and he had no idea what would happen after the children were born. While he adored Hotaru and meant what he'd said about helping her raise them, this was completely new territory to him. All he could do was be sure that the kids had enough toys to chew on when they were bigger and something to pen them in.


He'd found a treasure in an old abandoned house early in the morning, and now the Turkish man dragged the large pieces back to d'Arte, humming and avoiding eye contact with everyone he passed. He stumbled several times with the sheer size of the wooden walls, but eventually he reached the town square in Thornbury where his and Hotaru's huts were in sight. He approached the woman's after a moment, deciding that -- while most of the supplies could stay with him for now -- she would want this.


Leaning the unassembled pieces of the baby crib against the building, Levent knocked on the door and called warmly, "Would you be interested in purchasing a prison for your youngsters?"
