Annoying, desperate children. Obnoxious and loud, terrifyingly stupid. Irritating.
But somehow, Pantalone had acquired five of these annoying brats.
First one was a green haired colleiflower, with terrifying eyes and a manic case of Elazar. Well, past case. She was probably insane, but she did very well in certain...tasks. So she was liable, for now. Though Akira did not know how long he'd have to keep up with her snarky remarks and retorts.
The next, Wanderer. Better known as-...eh? No file record? Fine. We'll play with Celestia. Scaramouche, a former acquaintance of his. A puppet he usually funded. Now, a lovable child. As in, snarky and rude but still a child made by Shogun. Pantalone was especially careful with this one, refraining from bringing up former triggering topics such as Kabukimono..
Ah. Then there was the star. Happy-go-lucky, sweet and lovable child. A menace. But a cute menace. But a menace. Thats all there was to it.
Then, Ismene, the one Akira was obviously biased towards. Why? Because he loved cats. And obedient children. Ismene was both, and she was a very quick learner. Doing.. 'tasks' earlier than most children. Which was great.
Then was Shirogami. Usually kept to themselves, Akira didn't mind the child that much. But the child loved reading. Akira loved reading. So they bonded.
As for his own reaction to spontaneously having five kids...well, it happened in a rather embarrassing way.

It was a cold summer day in Snezhnaya, the chilly breeze a tad bit lighter and bearable to most. A harbinger meeting was held on this day.
To talk about the 'Asylum' project.
Sitting quietly as he watched Yoru talk to Pierro with a calm tone of voice, Akira was suddenly hit with a direct question from the old man himself. The hot one. Not pussynella.
"Akira. I hear that you fund this particular subject of 'Lord' Dottore's?" Akira nodded handsomely.
'Lord' or 'Master' were the titles usually used for harbingers, as their status was equal to or higher than dukedoms and earldoms. Though, some, like Childe and Sandrone, held the titles of 'Young master' and 'princess' respectively. As a young master was the son of a duchy, and a princess-the single daughter of a duchy. Well, in Snezhnaya, ofcourse.
Higher harbingers such as Pierro were addressed as 'Your Grace/Excellency' to show superiority. But when the doors were shut, all formalities among the harbingers were dropped.
Next to Akira was a magenta haired foxian, who watched lazily but suddenly jolted when feeling the eyes of the Director on him.
A bit frightened, Kuya held onto Akira's hand, avoiding Pierro's judging gaze.
