"The baby kicked."
"What? I wish I was there to see that." He glanced at her stomach but did not attempt to touch her, not that he could with the tray in front of her.
"There's always going to be next time," she grinned at him. "Should you be here? Aren't you busy?" Mauve questioned.
"I am never too busy for you." He lay on his back with his arms under his head. His legs still dangled off the bed, and he made eye contact with her as he spoke.
"Jael," she cried, a bit annoyed that she couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face.
"We don't have any training or hunting today, so don't think you're interrupting anything," Jael said.
Mauve smiled and wanted to ask more questions but decided against it. She wondered if this was why he was in such a good mood but didn't press further. Mauve had a vague idea of how the hunts went recently. Some days they were successful, other days they were not.
