Who's The Father?
-- Taking bets! --
Backstory: Alright so I had (almost) my entire clan of lepitaurs out and just letting them play while I typed an e-mail or something. Suddenly-- Hikari is pregnant!
I realized that during my last breeding project, I used PetzA to not "show heart when breeding". Meaning, I don't know who the father of this baby is!
But rather than just instant birth the kid-- I want to try to guess who could the father be.
There are only 3 adult males out at the time, so it has to be one of them.
AkaneAkane is the red lepitaur. Hikari has been oddly interested in Akane for some reason? But for the most part, he seems to ignore her. Perhaps this has driven her towards him?
I have been catching her curiously watching him.
And sometimes they longingly look at each other--
But I think Hikari is just messing with me.....
Is it likely that Akane is the father? No.
IkariIkari has been a childhood friend of Hikari since before Kuro (Hikari's current mate) joined. I have observed them in the loving ritual, but then Hikari gets distracted.
Ikari eyes Hikari almost constantly and tries to follow her around and grab her attention. He's often starting the love gestures, but Hikari rarely follows. Playing hard to get?
KuroKuro is Hikari's mate and they both have a kitten together.
Whenever the love ritual takes hold of both of them, neither of them gets distracted-- they are both very much in love with each other.
However, Hikari has shown interest in other male lepitaurs so I don't know if I'll rule out the possibility of another father.
Either way, Ikari is very jealous of Kuro and his relationship to Hikari.
Often they will fight with each other, especially if Hikari is in the same scene.
Ikari will relentlessly growl at Kuro.
But Kuro mostly just ignores him.
Though I do wonder if there's other cause for concern?
