Aurum was the first to arrive, of course, and he subtly tipped his head in thought trying to think of something. “Aurum... you should create a scrapbook and show it off. Express yourself.” With newfound parenthood, Selby was certain that new memories were being created all the time. He might appreciate having it later down the line.
Beck was the next to arrive, and his lips curled up as his son approached. Something to help him with his mental health. Though he had gotten much better, there was always room for improvement. “Beck, make a list of everything that makes you happy. Big things, little things. Everything. Even if you think it’s stupid.”
Another child of his. Alice would need something that wouldn’t be very physically intensive, but he didn’t want to give her something insignificant in case it seemed like he was simply placating her. “Hm... Alice, make a pillow fort. The biggest one you possibly can.”
Alaric was next, and Selby thought carefully. He did not know the male well at all, but he knew that he had been around a lot lately. Something to get to know him a little? “Alaric, make a modern art sculpture. It can be made out of anything and everything. Go crazy.”
And for now, Ivan was the last to approach. “Thank you for your manners, Ivan,” he praised immediately, wanting to encourage the behavior. Thinking back, perhaps getting him to interact with his bird a little would be a good idea? “You should try teach your bird a trick. Even if it doesn’t work, I think you should give it a shot.”
