[Cyril is pacing up and down a room that's at the borders of the South Wing, occasionally glancing in the direction of a cot that's situated by the window. Sitting on a chair beside the cot is an Akuma, dressed as a nanny. The room is clearly a nursery, and the occupant of the cot is indisputably a baby...a baby who appears to be about a month old

[Normally she'd steer clear of areas where the sour smell of formulas and diapers hung, but by DR magic here she is.

A hand over her mouth she's staring at the child, eye flicking to the pacing Cyril. She looks surprised.] What is going on?

[itisasillyplace]

Oh! It's complicated, my dear Sheryl. [He looks shifty for a moment] Would you believe that this child is mine and Tyki's? I can hardly believe it myself.

[aladymacbeth]

[Staring at him now.] Why does she not have it then?

[itisasillyplace]

The Tyki in question is a he. But I'm not entirely sure why he left the baby with me...I suppose that Tyki is in the habit of leaving others with babies. [He frowns a little] After all, the baby was his idea.

[itisasillyplace]

Tyki! Thank goodness you're here. Do you know anything about babies?

[itisasillyplace]

Little...little so-and-so, look! It's an alternate universe version of your daddy. Isn't he handsome? [He waves to try to get the baby's attention, and then points at Tyki. The baby just gurgles.]

[failedfelicity]

C... Cyril? [Why do you have a baby, what.]

[itisasillyplace]

Miranda? Splendid! [He clasps his hands together] Do you know any good names for babies?

[failingfelicity]

A-a few? Is it a boy or a girl?

[itisasillyplace]

A girl. She's mine and Tyki's. ♥ So I have to pick a good name.

[...He says that despite the fact he hasn't bothered to give her a name or even see her for a whole month.]

[teasingstar]

[You know. He really shouldn't be curious when he hears Cyril's voice. It never promises anything good.

But, why does he have a baby? Yep, taking out a cigarette] When did you get a baby, Cyril?

[itisasillyplace]

Mm, I think it was late November? There was a curious event with one of the other Tykis.

[teasingstar]

[Tyki raises an eyebrow at that, not letting the bit of creepiness bother him at all.]

Interesting. And you're just now giving her a name?

[itisasillyplace]

How time flies. She should have a name, shouldn't she? Something that goes well with Kamelot...[He pauses] But it really is quite difficult.

[Road leans into the cot, tickling the baby under its chin.]

[itisasillyplace]

...Road! [He jumps.]

Road, s-sweetheart. Do you like the baby?

[dreamsofnoah]

Hmm... [The jury seems to be out on that one for now.] How long have you had her?

[itisasillyplace]

Over a month now. I came to check on her today. [He smiles, nervously] Isn't she rather cute, as babies go? I ran into that Tyki you mentioned ~ and got quite a surprise.
