just you and me, dancing in a daydream; just you and me, lost in the clouds
Their movements in the kitchen that Soh had rapidly come to consider theirs were as fluid as as dance, with Soh preparing two bowls as Zavien gathered the other things they would need. "I'm sure I could convince you to share," Soh teased as she worked, glancing flirtatiously over at him as she sat the bowls on the table. Straightening, she brushed her hair out of her eyes. With everything settled and ready to eat, Soh sat and happily began to share the meal with her boyfriend.
She wouldn't necessarily have considered the meal to be perfect, but she was pretty proud of how far she'd come in such a short time. Perhaps the old adage that practice made perfect really was true, even for something like cooking. After all, if she was going to be the girlfriend and mother she wanted to be, she'd need to have a couple of meals in her back pocket. Some of the best moments in life involved sharing food, after all.
But the peace and quiet of the meal was interrupted when Soh finally gathered the courage to speak. Their road together thus far had been fairly smooth, and Soh was hesitant to be the cause of any bumps that would inevitably arise. But this was no longer a vague notion of 'someday' - they needed to make a decision now, so that they were ready for when the baby came. And their decision was no longer just about what they wanted, but about what was best for the little life growing inside her.
Soh paused, pushing her spaghetti around in her bowl. "Before we found out I was pregnant, I had every intention of moving here," she started. "But... now I'm wondering if we shouldn't move to Torchline instead." Anticipating a strong reaction, she rushed on: "And I don't want to force you into anything you don't want to do, but... Torchline is the strongest, and arguably the safest, region. I know how you feel about Flora, but there's no denying that she's a powerful friend to have. Aside from that, there are Remi and Ronin, and there's a cannon now to protect the region, and the healthcare is arguably better there, and we'll have more people to help us if we need it, and... I just think it might be what's best for the baby."
