Ashe
A slow smile spread and Ashe nodded, looking down to Felix. "Tea then," she said quietly, rising from the bed with her brother carefully held close. "Rest for a minute." While she might not have talked much on it, Ashe remembered well how exhausting a newborn is - and that was without the toll of giving birth.
She smiled down at Felix as she headed for the kitchen, taking advantage of his sleeping and not wailing for their mother just yet. "Maybe I'm useless at cooking, but tea I can handle," she whispered to him. It was easy enough to keep her sleeping brother curled in one arm while she worked (literal) magic her free hand, boiling tea leaves and leaving a warm smell in the air, one that seemed to bring Ashe back to a small apartment back in another world. All the while she murmured soft nothings to Felix, memorizing his every feature that would change so, so fast.
It was with two mugs and a teapot held by one hand that she returned with, and Ashe carefully - and reluctantly - would pass off Felix to Vai so that she could pour steaming tea into each cup. "There," she said with a smile, offering the tea to Vai. The assassin moved to sit on the other side of the bed then - Devrum's side, no doubt. Her back leaned against the headboard as she lifted the aromatic tea and blew a soft breath against it, glancing softly at Felix before she looked up at her mother.
"A lot has happened," she said with a heavy breath, turning her eyes down to the hot tea between her hands. Her brows drew together, but her smile turned thoughtful. "I uh.. I'm not sure if you heard?" She huffed a laugh, disbelieving in a way. "Ronin.. He's back." Her smile couldn't be contained then, and her eyes turned back to her mother. The smile was heavy, weighted with all that had been done to accomplish it, but there was no mistaking the happiness there. "I met with the god of death, mom, and he agreed to give Ronin back."
