Opal still had a long pregnancy going and Babs and Bobby were due to have an egg of their own soon. Eventually, I had to C-Section Opal (for my own sake) and then I could focus on her recovery.
Being the father of so many unhatched eggs couldn’t have been easy, though. Gavin was easily beating out Aidan and he almost seemed very proud of this fact.
I checked on Aidan and found him in the trees, where I’d left him over an hour ago. His health hadn’t dipped or anything so I hadn’t needed to check on him specifically. I did lure him down and he was soon among the population again.
Hopefully, he would add to this collection of colorful eggs. They almost look like trinkets, and Lydia like their guard (or hoarder).
Since I was checking on the boys anyway, I found Bobby by the deadly Death Cap mushroom. I quickly got him out with the lift but he insisted on playing with the lift to go back down anyway. Once he left on his own, I felt safe again.
I did have to divert my attention again, though. Babs refused to eat since laying her egg. Her health dipped into the upper 40s and I started nagging her to eat. She only stubbornly stomped back and forth below the waterfall. After stomping around more, she finally settled in the computer room where she napped. She still had her cheese with her but seemed to refuse to eat it.
I eventually gave up.
Aidan was faring much better, however. He’d hardly moved from his spot but was still doing fine. I guess staying still doesn’t take much energy at all. Our grendel did walk up and slap him as he passed, though. Entertaining though that was, it wasn’t very nice and it didn’t seem to do much at all to help Aidan get ambulatory again.
Unfortunately, it seemed like his body just froze. He could still grab things but the science kit showed that his drives hadn’t changed at all for a while. Restarting the game didn’t work but, somehow, a quick slap on the butt got him sorted. How odd!
