Are they? It's been a while, but he still can't settle into normal routines. They just aren't for him; his brain is a restless, unruly, wild thing, not yet tamed by convention. It's an odd thing for a child of maybe four to consider, but while he knows that people intend for him to be in bed, he can't seem to will himself to go to sleep, toes curling and uncurling thoughtfully, fingers splaying and reaching up at the ceiling. No; it doesn't work, and when sleep refuses to find him and he can't seem to find sleep, then he wanders back into the arms of wakefulness instead, out of the dark shadows and into the light, under the artificial suns that dot hallways and eventually making his way towards civilisation. He doesn't really like people, of course, not because he's a misanthrope, but because he's shy, confused, somewhat timid in the face of conversation — people tend to talk at him, expecting replies, and he doesn't really know what to do, because they don't understand the haphazard movements of his hands. Still, he's a naïve, innocent thing, and he keeps trying, nervously shuffling towards crowds and observing them as long as he could stand it.

There's no real reason for his being there, truthfully. Groggy and bleary-gazed, he simply followed the sound of voices until he arrived at the site of a small gathering, knuckling at his eyes in an attempt to focus his blurry vision. The bad guy? He doesn't yet grasp the concept of good and evil, doesn't really understand why the bad guy is something Connie's so concerned about. He recognises her, as he somewhat recognises Sollux, but Noah is a mystery, and it gives him pause. Fingers twist and pull at the hem of his pyjama shirt, and the tiny boy fights back a yawn — funny how he seems tired, but his mind is wide awake. He wants to watch, wants to see — there's that strange, childish anxiety, of course there is, but it's easily suppressed.

APPEARANCE / REFERENCE / STATUS / OKAY [80%]
& Damian stands at around 36" tall and weighs around 27lbs. Still fairly skinny due to a former life of abandonment and malnutrition, he's painfully small, growth seemingly stunted. Has warm, olive-brown skin and freckling on his nose; seems a little paler at the moment, however. His eyes are silver-blue, often shifting between gunmetal grey and a vibrant sapphire depending on how the light shines. Hair is a deep black, soft to the touch and styleless; relatively short, but not overtly so. Has soft, delicate, round features. Tends to wear this hoodie and semi-faded blue jeans.
  — INJURIES/ILLNESSES: Malnutrition?? Not much else.

PERSONALITY / LINKS WILL GO HERE
& An absolute sweetheart at this stage. Easily impressionable, overly emotional and caught in a people-pleaser stage. Cautious in the sense that he doesn't really do well with most new people, yet latched onto his family immediately. Other children are sometimes okay, but is quickly spooked by human interaction. Has an awful stutter and lisp; seemingly behind in mental and verbal development, but immensely perceptive. Quiet; communicates using sign language, most of the time, but even that is rare. Only really attempts to speak when around a few select people, and even then, he's uncomfortable with it. Still makes sound, however, it's just nonverbal. An animal lover that struggles with expressing himself; easily angered or upset, and difficult to pull out of the depths of grumpiness, but not an overtly unhappy child. Likes to listen to familiar voices and music. Inquisitive, physically affectionate and strangely gentle. Imaginative. Learning things at his own pace.
  — DISORDERS: Apparent developmental issues??
