Ssssuper dads

WHO: Thor, John and possible the people crushing on them?
TONE: Fatherly bonding
RATING: G
WHEN: The 10th
WHERE: The Courtyard
WHAT: John and Thor take their egg for a walk
STATUS: Ongoing

[It's been a few days since John and Egbert joined together for their journey into snake fatherhood, and things are going surprisingly well. It's amazing that Thor hasn't managed to break it by now, but the two of them somehow managed to dodge that bullet. It's been an interesting few days filled with debates about names and snake dietary needs, Thor has become incredibly attached to the thing.

Thor, concerned that their egg baby has become stifled in the castle (and also restless and hoping to get outside) has suggested the benefits of fresh air and sunshine for their egg baby. They want it to be healthy, after all! A walk will do wonders for the bouncing baby egg.

It's currently wrapped in a Gryffindor scarf and seated in Thor's lap as he sits cross legged. He's currently recounting the events of the most recent quidditch match with his personal opinions over lapping. Loudly.]

[John has to admit, that Thor has been a better snake daddy than he originally thought. When it comes to controlling ones own strength, Thor wasn't always the best, and the other Gryffindor 4th years had had the bruises to prove it. But the snake egg was safe and sound, with no scratches or whatever other damage could be made to an egg.

As for John... Well, he was taking his role as a father seriously, even going as far as to owl his dad to send him his bubble pipe. He was a proper gentleman and a future father now, it was only right he looked the part.

So there he was, blowing his bubble pipe while Thor goes on about the game's quidditch match.]


You shouldn't be so loud. You are probably scaring it.

[He seems to ponder the suggestion for a moment, although he's actually been thinking the same himself.]

Hmmm... Yes, we do need a name. A good, strong name, that goes well with Egbert.

The Egberts are a proud family with a great history! Plus, it sounds weird if we hyphen it with Odinson.

As for your question, we can go with a gender neutral name if you know any.

Hm... Yes, I suppose it is striking enough.

This is a problem. We don't know the baby's gender yet, so we can't just pick a name... [There's a pause] By the way do you know how to tell what gender a snake is?

Hm... No, I do not think a Slytherin will know. Not any Slytherin, anyway. Who do we know that's good with animals?

Perfect! We can go ask him about our snake when it hatches.

You're not supposed to keep it out in the cold, you know. [Herbert informs the younger boy haughtily. His own egg is kept tucked away in a little box with a warming charm on it, which he keeps in his pocket.]
preanimator: (no glasses and serious)

[personal profile] preanimator 2013-02-12 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
[rolls his eyes] You know that air doesn't get in the shell, don't you? Or did you poke holes in it? [Thinks Thor might be dumb enough to do something like that, really.]
preanimator: (happy thoughts)

[personal profile] preanimator 2013-02-13 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually [Herbert says, with almost gleeful smugness] You've got one right there-

[He leans in to point, and ... that's an odd smell, isn't it?] What did you do to it anyway .... ?

[His voice trails off as he looks up at Thor, blinks, and then starts to smile, soft and a little shy.] Um. It's not really your fault, though, I don't mean to give you a hard time. It's just, your snake is hatching. See, there?
preanimator: (ravenclaw blue)

[personal profile] preanimator 2013-02-14 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Herbert's just looking at Thor, rather intently, the faint smile still lingering around his lips.] They can take a long time to hatch, up to an hour, even. So it's sort of a slow motion exciting.
preanimator: (nerdy smile)

[personal profile] preanimator 2013-02-18 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, that grin is ... truly beautiful. Herbert's going to just bask in it a second, and finally come back with a shy, but quite genuine smile, not just the hint of one.] I'm sure you will. Do you want some help? I know loads about biology.
preanimator: (no glasses and subtle smile)

[personal profile] preanimator 2013-02-19 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not really your specialty, is it? You're good at other things. [moving a little closer, still smiling, tilting his head to look up at the taller boy] Have you got a home for it? It's going to need to be kept warm, and snakes like to have places to hide - they're a bit shy.
preanimator: (profile smile)

[personal profile] preanimator 2013-02-25 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Um, most of the time they don't actually. Snakes - well, most reptiles - are strongly directed by instinct? They don't do a lot of what we would know as thinking, their brains just aren't capable of that or the higher emotions, either.

[As Herbert explains, he gestures a little, his expression bright as he talks about something he knows a bit about. There're few things the Ravenclaw likes more than showing off his knowledge, and if it can impress the gorgeous Thor, so much the better!] They can learn to tolerate being handled by certain people, though, so you should at least be able to hold it!
