Happy Birthday to me! 26 years old now. 😛
I think I’ll celebrate with ramen and video games.
Naturally, Lydia picked the most rational and responsible way to celebrate her good health – getting pregnant.
Turns out getting sick wasn’t enough, now she had the stress of making a new baby to sap her strength.
At least her health wasn’t declining quite the way it does when she’s sick, so I suppose that’s a consolation.
Her pregnancy proceeded as normal but I was starting to feel bad for Aidan, staying by the tree all by himself. I led him to the others and he and a trio of other norns left the island with him by taking the boat back to the tree. Lydia, Bobby and David seemed thrilled to see him! There was a lot of kissing, at least.
As they took the boat (again) to the island, Lydia prepared to lay her next egg and I took the peace as an opportunity to feed Opal. She was always obedient at feeding time but she rarely took the initiative to feed herself.
Finally, with everyone in relatively good health (Lydia still sat at a precarious 41%) I figured it might be a good time to introduce another baby. This little guy is Danny, one of the eggs saved from before the “soft reset”.
I love seeing happy faces on babies. He smiled for a while, too! Carrots and toys quickly became his favorite thing and he didn’t spend too much time out of the house.
I spent some time fighting with Lydia to get her to eat some food but I thought it might be time to move on. Her health was down to 30% but she might have been at the end of her rope. Perhaps she’d prefer to go down on an empty stomach?
Aidan meanwhile, slapped Cassy and Opal in the lowest level of the island and was chased off when the girls decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. He’d lost his game in his old age. Bobby spent his time hanging out with a sea horse instead. Can’t say I blame him with all that commotion downstairs.
Finally, when I wasn’t looking, Lydia ate again and her health started to slwoly rise. Perhaps she had more life in her than I first thought?
