Good to see you have been keeping yourself occupied, Hendrik. I suppose I should be happy I did not see you using my daughter as a weight.

[...it’s meant to be lighthearted teasing, but Jasper is tired enough from the long day that it comes off a touch snippier than intended. He is kind of smiling, at least. Kind of.

...also in fairness one of the carpenters is one of the bull-masked shirtless musclemen that seem to be everywhere in Erdrea, and after processing for a moment he nearly drops the crib frame he’s holding in excitement.

“Cor, I didn’t think I’d also be meeting General Hendrik today! When we’re done here, could you maybe give me your autograph and some workout tips?”

Jasper rolls his eyes, but takes the momentary diversion as an opportunity to set the big sack of baby supplies down and check on his daughter, who is still sleeping peacefully. ........goddess she’s so fucking cute.

Anyway, right, he needs to take care of everything else. He’ll begin walking over to his bed area and talking over his shoulder again.]

There is currently a table where I would like the crib to be placed, so let me go and move it aside.
