ISLA
"That would be lovely, yes," Isla says with a grin, blinking a few more times before trusting herself to gaze back across at Remi. She gives his hand another warm squeeze and then releases it, taking up her cup of tea for a slow sip. "Though it won't be too long before we might have some new additions to our tea parties," she points out. "And while they might not be life-changing revelations, babies do like to throw things." Which could be just as chaotic.
As for the cows and whatever she might be able to do to help out, Isla flashes Remi a playful smile. "Maybe I'll see if I can put together some bundles of fruit and alfalfa for you to bribe the herd," she suggests, though as the Bastion's gaze dip down to her bump, her own follows automatically. "Things are progressing very well from a medical perspective, if not a lot faster than expected," she says, tilting her head and putting a hand to her belly. "Honestly, I'd be surprised if she doesn't make an appearance before the end of the season."
Even just a few weeks ago the thought would have terrified her, but it's funny how you learn to live and evolve with the hand you're dealt. "Right now it suits me just fine - she's always kicking up a storm and I could really do without it."
