Good tidings

She's the light in a dark room
She smiles with her eyes and it'll hold you

Evie's laughter at his dry humor coalesces as a cloud around her face that is quickly whisked away by the chilled wind. At least until he pauses and his brow twitches as if wanting to draw together, and Evie pauses in turn, wishing she could ascertain his feelings through the Attuned bond as others could. Before she could ask, however, he pulls himself out of the water in a way she isn't accustomed to seeing him do, and she leans in to wrap an arm around his outer side to give him a brief hug. The water that sinks into her parka is easily whisked away off the animal furs and skins, even without much magic to aid.

"I have never been happier," she sighs, practically euphoric. Though she bites her lip, and her smile turns slightly mischievous as her hands go for the opening of her parka. Though she'd hoped to wait a little longer, have him share his news first, she can't resist. "Though only part of it is marriage." Opening the last clasp, she pulls her parka to each side, revealing her obviously pregnant belly showing through the thinner thermal underlayer. "Surprise! I'm pregnant," she laughs, clasping her parka to the side with her elbows so she can shake her hands in a playful little motion of cheesiness.

She's a bullet that's about to fire
And she's the steady that will keep you sane

Evie
