Lynceus squint his eyes and inspected the rash on Maria's neck. "You should have Castor take a look at this," he mumbled. "We can't have you getting sick now, you're Angelos' caretaker."
Maria moved back from the prince feeling a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed with how he had suddenly pulled her close to him. "I'll have him look at it," she responded, "in as much as I don't like that old fart I'll have to do it for Angelos' sake." Maria suddenly gasped and gently handed the baby to the prince, "gods I hope it's not contagious! I should have it looked at right now. I can't hold the baby until we're absolutely sure."
Maria curtsied and hurried out of the room leaving Lynceus with Angelos. The man hoisted his son into the air making him chuckle and then cradled him lovingly. "Can you believe it buddy, soon we'll get to be with your mother again isn't that great?!"
