Azier was lucky that Yrsula still agreed to come along with him, but she had insisted that they not talk unless it had to deal with a task.
He granted her that, but really he wanted to speak about what had happened. Every time he had tried, however - she either walked away, or he was unable to get close enough due to the pact they had made.
It felt really shitty to be the reason someone didn't feel safe. He did his best to avoid her. She had at least cooled towards Azrianna (but who couldn't resist her sweetness?). As a rule for his wife's sanity and emotional stability, he dared not ask her to pass on a memo or ask if the human had calmed down yet.
Instead, he enjoyed his limited time with her, and even though she hadn't even started to show or grow a bump, he still liked to run his hand along her lower abdomen when she cuddled close with her back at his chest each night.
