Stop that, no one is taking advantage of anyone!" she said, glaring daggers at her sister in law. Really, she could be such a hauty jerk when she wanted too - probably because she had been a duchess once upon a time.But Jata seemed to take it in stride, the rude accusations rolling off his back like water on a duck. He said something she couldn't quite hear before kneeling down to the children, ready to rile them back up. Despite her irritation in the moment at Roana, it was comforting to see him with the children - in fact it soothed her anger immediately as she watched with a warm smile. Either he had experience or seemed a natural with kids, something she personally found quite attractive.
I can hold the weight of worlds
if that's what you need
be your everything
