[still wtf smiling that small, surprisingly warm smile]
..."Renewal". [slight pause as she reaches out the next finger on that same hand to lightly stroke the back of the baby's closed fist] It is a good name.
*Koushin seems to like the approval, because he grows more excited at that and takes an unsteady step across Sasuke's lap towards her, using both their hands as leverage*
*catches him as he strays a little too close to the edge, but Koushin is fine with releasing her and plopping down on Sasuke's knees, just staring up at her*
They DO say that babies are more likely to stare at "beautiful" people. :3weapon_xxNovember 5 2009, 08:58:29 UTC
I see.
[continues the odd staring contest of sorts, and this might be sorta awkward if X didn't suddenly give a sniff, then turn her head slightly to the side; Sasuke's closer, so he'll doubtless smell it too in a few seconds]
...*Oh. .......Okay. He can do this. It's cool. He's good at copying, after all, and he saw Mikoto do this -- only once, but that was enough. ...It should be.*
*pulls the Emergency Diaper Bag -- courtesy of Kaa-san -- out from under the bench, and since no one's around except X-23, anyway, it seems fine to just spread a blanket over the bench and use it as a changing table, because why not?*
*given her inexperience in some matters, she may or may not catch how he's not the most sure-of-himself person in the world as he goes about this.*
...No. *luckily, he appears to have a rather mild-tempered son who kicks and moves very little -- or maybe he's just smart and figures that making it less difficult for Sasuke will get this over with quicker. Either way, the diaper gets changed -- taking a bit longer than expected -- although it's kind of. Crooked. But. He's not a woman expert, all right.*
[he's just lucky he didn't get, ahem, "shot", as baby boys are wont to do to those who change them]
[leans in and reaches out, almost before she knows what she's doing herself, to straighten it. And it's still a little bit crooked, but it is better after she's done, surprisingly enough. Perhaps it really is instinctive...]
*the first time that happens, he's unconsciously using the Sharingan every time after to change a diaper*
*still doesn't object, although his arms remain positioned on either side of Koushin in a somewhat defensive stance -- and then he looks at her as he takes him back up in his arms after that, admittedly surprised given the obvious Awkward that even he picked up on*

*and the baby likes that reaction, shaking her a little more firmly and still giggling*
... *maybe it's a son-to-father transferrence of approval, but...*
*still watching his son* ...Koushin.

...A replacement of his diaper is advisable.
[...and ooooh no, Mikoto is nowhere to be found]

You have not done this before.
