[Colette smiles and waves to the camera, an egg on her lap.]

Hello! It looks like everyone got these eggs yesterday, but so many of you don't know how to properly care for them! You can't kick your egg, you can't put it in a fridge, and you definitely cannot drop it out a window. You have to treat it with love! These poor things have been separated from their mommies, so it's up to us to keep them safe and warm. Wrap them in a blanket, keep them on your lap, or sit on them like a chicken does. It also might help to talk to it and give it little kisses so it knows that it's still loved, right, Little Egg?

[She pecks the top of her egg and rubs her cheek against it, giggling lightly.]

Now I know that some of you are really busy with work, and you're worried that you won't be able to care for your egg properly. So if you need it, I'm willing to come check on your eggs while you're away to make sure that they're getting all the love and attention that they need to stay healthy.

If you have any questions about caring for your egg at all, please let me know! These babies are counting on us to keep them safe, and we can't let them down!

Yeah, but they're just babies! We should be helping them to make sure they hatch okay.

Are they really called babies while they are asleep in the egg?

~~Yugi asking the real questions over here.~~

Well there's a baby inside, right?

Technically, yes. But it's still developing while it's in there, so is it a baby when it's still developing or would it be called a fetus until fully formed?

It feels weird actually talking about this, I must admit.

Isn't a fetus just a baby that's still in the womb?

[This isn't exactly Colette's area of expertise; they're a little behind in the science department on Sylvarant. Most of their research on the subject is likely conducted via dissections of corpses. The development from zygote to fetus is definitely beyond her.]

I'm sorry; we can change topics if you'd like.

[She'd hate to make him uncomfortable.]

In development, yes. it's actually quite complicated and confusing honestly.

[He shook his head for a moment, it probably was a good idea because really, they had no answers to such things anyway.]

We can... So what are you hoping for with the egg?

[Fawning over her egg is much more familiar territory, and a smile instantly blooms across her face.]

I don't know, honestly. Something cute, maybe? Or a puppy! I know they don't usually hatch from eggs, but maybe alien puppies do. But really I'll be happy no matter what it is so long as it's healthy.

What about you?

I honestly don't know, but I do know my pokemon seem to be suspicious of it. I just assume they are worried it will be something I'll care for more than them.

[Which to him, was rather silly. He still cared for his pokemon friends after all.]

I wish I could tell them not to worry, though.

Aw, they're jealous! They must care for you very much. Why don't you tell them not to worry?

They do and I have told them, they probably want proof for a while or something, which I am always happy to do.

Just need to think of the what exactly.

Hmmmm....

[Colette frowns, thinking hard for a long moment before her face lights up.]

Oh! I know! Have you tried making them their favorite food or taking them to their favorite place since you got the egg? Maybe they think that way because you've only been tending to it and not them.

[All Yugi had really done with the egg was make sure it was warm, which never really took a lot of his time. Work did that. But he paused for a moment.]

I don't know if they have a favorite spot exactly. But favorite food is always a good idea. ,small>[he smiles happily.]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[ She clasps her hands excitedly in front of her chest. ]

You're welcome! I'm so glad I could help.

I just hope it stops them becoming jealous. Because I'm not sure how else to handle that. But hey, I could maybe do something fun in the evening. Maybe even have a picnic.

A picnic sounds like a great idea! And then when it gets dark you could look at the stars together.

I've not really looked at the stars here, if I have to be honest. Have you?

Sometimes at night I do! They're really pretty. I used to look at them all the time back home. I don't really know what any of them are called, though...

Nor do I, but I bet there would be books about them somewhere.

Probably! Or I think there's a planetarium here somewhere. I bet they know lots of things about them there.

Ah, there is one isn't there. Maybe going there will actually be more helpful.
