[Yuri appears on the video feed with a strange noise coming from somewhere off screen.]

Hey guys, I've got a couple of announcements to make.

First of all... have any Kedan lost a baby?

[And now Yuri lifts a small squirming infant up for everyone to see, the source of the strange cooing noise. The baby Kedan looks healthy and happy enough at least.]

I kinda found her by herself last night. So if anyone's missing a kid, or know of anyone who is, just let me know or stop by Brave Vesperia's new guild front in the Sky Sector.

And speaking of that, my other announcement is that Brave Vesperia is now open for business in our new official guild house. We're accepting jobs and new members.

[The baby squeals and tugs at his hair.]

And uh... trying to find this kid's parents.

Do you know how to hold one of those?

[ Surprisingly civil for the whole dog-in-the-Hotel thing. Mostly he's concerned for small child in the interim. ]

[wolfstrike]

If I didn't I'd be a disgrace to all the women who made me babysit for them back home.

[That would be a yes.]

[insertdadjoke]

Glad to hear it. I'd hate for this to turn into some kind of comedy where the caretaker has no idea what to do with a baby.

[ Cain, your dad-ness is showing. ]

[wolfstrike]

Yeah, no worries there.

[Fortunately he's also got an angel to help him out too.]

So do you have kids or something?

[insertdadjoke]

Two. [ Not that they're children anymore, but that much is at least true. Jacob Kane has two children. Cain? Uhhh... we try not to get into specific numbers. ] So you could say I'm pretty old-hat at it myself.

[wolfstrike]

You've got one up on me. I know a thing or two but I'm not really dad material.

[Some might argue that though.]

[insertdadjoke]

Some people rise to the challenge better than they think they will.

[ Beat. ]

Then again, some others don't. Got everything you need over there?

[wolfstrike]

It's kinda hard to know how to be one when you didn't have one yourself.

[He shrugs. Yuri wasn't looking for pity, it was just a fact of life. It didn't bother him anymore.]

Yeah I think so. I picked up some formula and diapers.

[insertdadjoke]

That part comes with time. You might already have the idea and not even realize it, personal experiences to draw upon or not.

[ Cain didn't really have a father, either. Not one he remembered at all by the time his first kids rolled around. Does that count? ]

Good, sounds like you've got the basics down. Guess I don't need to pull the whole twenty questions routine.

[wolfstrike]

Well if I need any advice I know who to go to.

[insertdadjoke]

That you do. Make sure you don't forget it.

[ Especially if it takes a while to find the girl's parents. ]
