[It was late last night when Ion was taken from the village, and it had been done so quietly it might have been impossible to know he was gone if his bedding hadn't been thrown around the room.]
[But he wasn't gone for very long, as it's less than a day later that Ion returns to the village sometime in the early evening. At a glance, he might just be mistaken for another new feather: he's sitting on the ground near the plaza, wearing those same white new feather pants with a somewhat confused look on his face. But to those who know him well, they might also notice his hair looks a few inches shorter than usual.]
[He isn't doing much, likely because he doesn't know what he should do. What does one do after they've just been born? Should someone walk by, he'll turn his head to stare at them, but he won't say anything.]
(( ooc: Since I've wanted to do this since forever and finally have the time: Ion is going to be de-aged (from 15~ to 12) for a little while! Although Ion has technically gone back to being a "newborn", Fon Master replicas were born with most of their basic functions rather than as a blank slate, so he'll eventually be able to talk and walk once he realizes what those functions are. He'll start out a little slow, but he's a very quick learner! Just don't expect him to know what anything is at first. |Db ))

He will stay with you for now, Ion.
[There is no space for argument in those words. Not even a chip in the paint. And Nephry goes into the kitchen to find him something to eat.]
[Action]
Dist. [His words are clear, clearly showing how quickly he's been picking up on speech. What had Nephry said to him moments before? When she was making him wait on the sofa? His grip on Dist's sleeve tightens just a bit.]
Stay here.
[Action]
But a request is different. A request is just what Ion is asking of him. Dist blinks in shock down at the boy, and his wide eyes, stunned to silence. He purses his lips, not wanting to admit defeat, but...but how could he say no to a child? That's what Ion was now, a child. Even so, Dist's pride won't allow him to take this request as anything more than that of his superior. He'll do it out of respect for the Fon Master, nothing else.]
...As you wish, Fon Master Ion.
[Action]
She's not long in the kitchen, coming back with just some crackers and fruit at first. And a glass of water. There is no basis in her mind for what 'newborn' replicas eat]
[Action]
[Action]
And then there was Nephry. He didn't have enough time to face her. They were married in that experiment, they had children - grandchildren, even! How was he supposed to digest all that?! She was already married back in Auldrant, and he'd finally accepted that years ago..now this?!
Ugh...he'll deal with it later. Dist ushers Ion back towards Nephry and the food, seeing how interested he was in it, and just sighed. Why was this so tiring?]
[Action]
[Action] 1/3
[Action]
[Action] /diabeetus for all
[He giggles.]
[And keeps giggling for a good minute or so, pressing his hand to his cheek. Such a strange feeling! Clearly this calls for a repeat, and he picks up another strawberry to eat.]
[Action] o-oh my heart. ;w;
He almost laughs when Ion makes a face when he experiences sour for the first time, one corner of his mouth tugging up in a sort of half smirk. It was involuntary, and passes almost as soon as it appeared, though.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Of course, he was still getting the hang of this "eating" thing, so he probably looks just a bit messy right now. His lap is full of crumbs from the crackers.]
[Action]
He can do that much, right? Dist looks over his shoulder nervously, as if expecting his second shadow to be trailing along behind him.]
[Action]
[Dist.]
[Hey Dist.]
[Guess who just let out a very tiny gasp before jumping to his feet to follow?]
[At least he isn't clinging this time?]
[Action]
Dist isn't surprised to see Ion scuttle to his feet and attempt to follow. He lets out an irritated sigh, hastening his pace to gather his research and get out of his room. Heaven knows he didn't want a small and curious child - replica or not - mussing about with his personal belongings.
He emerges from his room with a book and a few journals under his arm, shutting the door behind him, just in time to meet the young replica. This was getting pretty irksome. He'd never signed up to be a literal mother hen.]
I'm right here.
[Action]
[He stares up at Dist for a moment with that same expression before mimicking his words back to him.]
I'm right here.
[Action]
[Which is getting more and more frustrating. Dist can't leave without Ion scurrying to follow him, could he? That's not what he had planned. He planned to drop off Ion, maybe give him a little examination - to make certain his fonons were stable and the Malnosso hadn't stressed anything - then left. He doesn't want to linger here, among his enemies and the awkward and unwanted memories.
He motions for Ion to follow him to the living room again, even if it's unnecessary. The boy was sure to follow regardless.]
Come.
[Action]
[Of course, Nephry would probably enter into that same zone of recognition once he knew her name. As it stands, she's recognizable as someone associated with Dist. And food. And food was a good thing, so... she must be good too!]
[Action]
He instructs Ion to sit...somewhere, then looks around for Nephry briefly before he slumps into his own chair, filing through his notes and the books he brought with him almost instantly. He'll let the boy eat and drink some more before giving him a basic examination. Heart, lungs, eyes, hearing, and reflexes.]
What a bother...
