Vai gasps a sound of pure delight as Remi eases his son from his back, and she coos at Mateo as she sweeps forward to take him in her arms. "He is," she agrees, cuddling him close in one arm and offering the basket out to Remi with the other. "He's going to be tall, like the tallest of his papas," she tells the boy wisely, a bright smile on her face as she nods to him, like it's already true.
But then her blue eyes flick back to Remi, content to rock the babe in her arms and let him clutch at her curls. "I heard that he was gone," she says softly. "But not the circumstances. I thought a visit might break the days up a bit for you, at least." Shrugging and carefully bouncing Mateo, she glances around the woodlands. "My cabin is still out here, you know. We could go to it, if you wanted."
