The collector tried to be as positive as he could.
"Hey!" Momi came over.
"Want cookies?"
"No thank you. I'm good," he frowned.
Scooting himself. He didn't want to talk much. Espcially since though Amity was kind to him. She seemed like she didn't always want to be responsible for him.
"Gosh, I am an older sister now" she muttered when she left. The collector didn't feel good about that. He felt like he was seen as a burden to people. He even felt bad after he realized what he did. The regret of seeing people as nothing but objects or toys for his benefit.
He sighed.
"What's wrong?" Asked Momi sweetly.
"Do..Do You think..I'm annoying? Or like..The owl house doesn't want me?" Could it be that my siblings think the same way? He thought. But the truth was..The collector was actually being a kid. His siblings sent him away not because he was annoying, but they were truly heartless. However, the guilt made him unaware of that. In fact, he was trapped by the Titan, taught Philip/Belos magic, and was later betrayed by Philip. He felt lonely..Luz was able to see him as a child. Not a perfect one, but one who is at least willing to grow up and become better.
"No..no of course not.." Momi said, "look, Your family"
The collector was surprised when she said "family"
"Your family has a lot of responsibilities" she told him..
He also didn't really like that word. He felt pressured into doing so many things. Flashbacks came to him of the Archivists, "Do this for us"
"do that"
"Make sure the titans this"
"makes sure the titans that"
"No we're not helping you"
He was stressed every single time.
"They sent you here because they want you happy. Want you safe. They'll come back for you"
The collector's expression showed he didn't really know if that was the case. Even when Luz promised she would come back for him.
Momi expression..changed. She sighed.
"Look I get it. I once thought That about My mother. My mother, always out. But then one day she came to me..hugged me so tight. Was so happy that she could finally see me.."
The collector was slightly surprised. He never had parents, but he found it cool how other people did.
"My mother told me she was sorry. That she was a busy angel and told me she was a powerful one. We both explained how we felt like we couldn't have each other as family. But we learned that we could. It didn't matter if one was more powerful than the other. We could still do things and love eachother even when we aren't around. And that if we ever felt lonely, we can always reach out."
The collector still felt off but then he was starting..to understand.
"Not to mention, heh, Dad was always the one telling us how we had to make sure to have time for ourselves as well. After all, doing so many things for so many people could take a toll on you."
"...Heh, I guess..thanks.." The collector saids, "I guess..that makes sense. I just wish I can be around them all the time.."
"Yeah. I get that feeling."
"MOMIIIIIi!" Two girls cried at the top of their lungs. It was Celeste and Angelika.
"Ok maybe sometimes" frowned Momi.
The Collector flinched but then started to laugh.
Momi smiled..
And So..The collector and The Angel girls all played around, ran around the house, and Help angels in need (while playing pranks on those pretending they needed help) . The collector had to get used to it because it was big. But not in a rich way or like the way the emperor's castle was, still homelike. It was strange, but he liked it.
Finally he saw a flash of light,
All the kids flinched. Hiding broken things behind them.
"Oh..Hi Dad!" Momi grinned. Yet a sweat came upon her.
The collector got nervous. He seemed to be a middle age man. With long black hair and bun. His wings were gray. Which was strange cause he never saw the girls wings.. What was also intimidating he even wore a large Black coat.
"Um.." The collector said.
"Girls!" He Said in a genuine voice. "Dinner is ready! It's getting cold. "
Momi frowned, "yes daddy"
"Oh dear! What- did you break stuff?!"
"NO!-" both Angelika and Celeste shouted yet simultaneously held out the broken objects.
They glared at each other.
"You three! UGH! Fix this place!" He growled
"As for you star child.."
"me? who? What?!-" the collector panicked.
"I'm so very sorry if my daughters here disturbed you. Really, much fun influences aren't they?" He sighed.
"HEY!" They protested.
"Oh!..oh Um..no no! Heh, I actually helped" He sweated. The Angel raised his eyebrow and The collector still sweated.
"Sorry!" He managed.
The Angel sighed, "Well then. You help them repay the damage done. Then if you like, you can join us for dinner."
Angelika was about to open her mouth,
"No, there will be no food fights either" he said as he turned the other way.
"Oh gosh" the Collector Phewed.
"Is That What a Dad is like?" The collector asked.
"Pretty much," Shrugged Angelika.
The collector went silent..Then began to laugh.
"He is so angry at you guys!"
"He is not!" They all protested
The collector began to sparkle.
"Woahh! My power works here?" He realized.
"It sure does!" Celeste grinned. She used her powers to reveal glittery stars.
They all laughed as they flew around.
"Hey collector, I think you might like this. There are jokes Dads use all the time" Momi put fourth.
"Really?!" He gasped.
"Yep!" Cackled Celeste
"They're called Dad jokes!" Angelika added.
The collector stops flying.
✨"Dad Jokes"✨ He teared up like it was the most beautiful thing he heard.
"Let's head to dinner and Trick him into saying a few!" He Called.
The kids all blasted each other and raced each other to the dinner table. While also sometimes fighting over the seats.
"GUHGG-" Kokabiel tried to not lose his patients.
They all ate at the food.
"Oh gosh.." the collector said after he swallowed. "This is so good!"
"See, he like it" Muttered Kokabiel to his daughters.
"Is Mom Coming?" Asked Angelika.
The collector stopped and wiped himself with his napkin.
"I'm not sure," Explained Kokobiel, "She Called me not too long ago. Said they're checking the purification stations"
"...Is that..bad?" Asked Celeste.
"Oh no, bad sounds..Well, Bad" The collector added.
"Could be, could not. She hasn't given me the full explanation. Either way. There shouldn't be anything to fear about. She's coming as soon as things are done. And Collector"
"...Yes?" He nervously asked.
"It appears the stars are becoming rather much safer."
"Aw man! But I was here for what? I don't wanna leave"
Kokobiel was about to say more but stopped. Genuinely surprised.
"Oh..Uh..Well"
"Yeah Yeah I get it." The collector muttered. "You're angels. My siblings will get Suspicious if I'm out for too long"
"I think your siblings will Get suspicious either way" muttered Angelika.
The collector hated to admit it. But she was right. They will come back..Not because They care for the collector. But they only care about destroying other species.
The Collector Gasped. Picturing the Archivist and the Demons working together..To destroy angels.
He dropped his fork to the floor.
"Collector?!" All of them say.
The kid's expression went dark, "..Please..Is there anything I can do to help this realm?"
