"I'm sorry, sweetheart...even though I said this is my part," Natha stroked my face with a face full of guilt and regret.
But I shook my head readily. "Mm-mm, it's fine," I hugged his neck and kissed him goodbye. "Protecting our child is also your part."
He kissed me once again afterward, before going out with Caba and Lesta. Again. It seemed like making sure the Wrath wouldn't get pushed back couldn't be done by relaxing in the Lord Castle with me while designing our future nursery.
Oh, well--this one I didn't really mind. At the end of the day, Natha would just agree with anything I said or wanted about the nursery anyway. All I needed to do was discussing it with Arta and Aunt Nezja. Zia also pinched in some ideas when he came over from time to time, although she spent most of her time in the research tower.
Heh. To think she was once crying to me because she had no idea what to do with the feeling of having a first crush.
