[Pavel's response to Hei's assessment is little more than an amused shake of his head. If age had anything to do with an individual's ability to take care of a baby--but they both know what a poor indicator of skill age is.
As Hei puts things away, Pavel tucks the sleeping child into bed. It's difficult to determine which of his fathers the curly-haired, dark-eyed baby favors, and even harder to guess what sort of person the boy will become. He'll be a genius, undoubtedly, and a stargazer. Chekov looks forward to the day when Dimitri is old enough to appreciate the beauty of the night sky and the intricacies of stellar nucleosynthesis. Perhaps Hei will be more comfortable with their son (their son--it's still a bizarre notion) when he's older, and maybe the three of them will do a convincing impression of a family someday.
The thought almost makes Pavel laugh but, when he leaves Dimitri to his sleep and catches Hei unpacking a toy, it doesn't seem wholly improbable.] You're planning to make a music prodigy of Dima? [Even as he addresses Hei, Pavel weighs the pros and cons of waking Korra. After living with a baby for a little while, he has come to appreciate the value of uninterrupted sleep too much to rob others of it.]
