Regardless of what else is going on, it is good to strive for a calm and happy environment for a baby. If her mother thought she could not provide that, I am glad Celestine has the option of being with you.

[He does wonder if that means the mother will appear in the future, but that's ... really something to be handled if it ever actually happens. Worrying about the possibility now seems like a terrible idea.

While Jasper continues getting ready to head out, Hendrik carefully hovers over Celestine. The tiny baby seems to be looking at him (or his general direction) for the most part, though her eyes do wander to the sides of her cradle as well.]

Is there anything of note that I should know? When was she last fed?
