Before following, Ariane goes back to the doorway to retrieve her gift. She brings the potted carnation over near the nest, setting it carefully upon a windowsill where its spicy scent might waft down to him. Perhaps it will be a comfort to him in the uncomfortable days that precede laying. It seems she was wiser than she knew when she decided it was time to bring it home!
"Peace, my heart, I have no intention of egging Estinien on," she says, kneeling to kiss him on the forehead before she moves into the space he made for her. (Was that an intentional pun? Only Ariane knows, and she's letting on nothing.) "Knowing him, he would insist upon giving you a dozen next!"
Seriously, you three. Have you never heard of quality over quantity?
She cuddles up against him, her hand once again coming to rest on his round belly. She thought the novelty had worn off after two broods of dragonets and the dud clutches in between, but this one— this time, she just can't seem to keep her hands off of it!
"You know, it's really rather unfair when you think about it. He could at least lay a few blanks once in a while."
Careful what you wish for, Ariane. How much do you want to deal with a cranky, egg-laden former Azure Dragoon?
