Darling please, just give us some time, and I swear we'll be alright
Her own visage warms further at his succinct remark. Is it really that easy? After all this time, just...done? Not the actual problems that remain like conception, birthing, raising, but...it's as simple as that. A delighted laugh bubbles free off her tongue, feeling like this somehow isn't real with all the emotions that have come about since the moment she awoke to see him at her side. How quickly things change. "Settled it is." Her eyes brim with affection as she stares at him, unwilling to even blink lest this illusion of peace and happiness shatter with the meeting of her lashes. Even the darkness of the reminder of her broken promise to Rexanna and Bastien cannot fully dim the hope that blooms in her heart. Surely it will hurt her too, as hope is wont to do, but for now she will let it grow in peace.
Before she can think to respond, sharp mind already clicking along, he is moving her out of reach and striding towards the bathroom. Frowning at her oversight, she rises to follow after him, his mumbled apology setting off alarm bells in her mind. When she sees it's only blood - only, as if it's not something to worry about - she leans against the doorframe and idly tongues her own wound on her cheek in solidarity. "There's no guarantee they'd be immediately born Ascended, not if the Voice only used Nate's genetics, and especially with a fully human parent. Perhaps we can bargain with her initially instead of Safrin. Frey certainly didn't care about who I fucked when I met them too, and they're inclined to work magic with fertility and the like." Whether Frey could do anything with an Ascended's genes is a whole different question, but Hotaru won't let yet another godly war get in the way of the happiness of their family. If she has to go around offering different things to each god for a child, she'll do it. Reaching out, she places her hand on his lower back, leaning around to peer at his face with a frown. "Do I need to get Nate? Or Atlas? How bad is it?" Any suffering, no matter how minor, feels like too much in the wake of what he has been through.
