[He chuckles nervously at the sigh that usually means Karkat-exasperation, but it gets less nervous and more silly, because oh right he forgot about all that. Trolls were really weird, and he seemed to learn something new (or re-learn, rather) every day!]
Oh...right. Lusi and stuff.
[John's heart does that jumping-for-joy thing again. God. He's going to need to start a video diary of Karkat and baby, this was too cute. He swallows when the weight of the grub is in his arms, and there's a moment of awkward arm moving and handling and oh god. He does what he did when playing with the human babies way back when in the ectobiology lab, and even then he saw that more on TV. He mimics that and Karkat's handling, supporting the baby's head and cradling his body. Okay...bright red infant insect alien with buck teeth acquired.]
Eridan doesn't seem too cold feet-getting to me...maybe a little wussy, but--oh my god Karkat he's looking at me.
[And John is again immediately distracted from the things at hand, because the creature in his arms is staring at him. John smiles in a way he's probably never smiled before, because this is his child and he's never really...had one of those before. He jokingly considered Casey his daughter, but this grub was legitimately his and Karkat's. Without really thinking about it, he rocks on his feet, swaying slightly and shifting his baby hold to accommodate the curves better.]

Man...you're cute, little guy.
