Darling please, just give us some time, and I swear we'll be alright
There's little more she can do than stand aside, watching as her husband rinses his mouth repeatedly until the water runs pink and then clear. Tempted as she still is to go fetch Nate or Atlas even for something this small, she isn't inclined to leave him, or to make him feel as if he's being coddled oppressively. Though she waits until he's done to smile up at him and sidle closer, wrapping an arm around his waist and tilting slightly to gaze up into his eyes. "It shouldn't get to me this soon, hearing you say 'our child', but it does," she admits with a fond grin. It makes her heart skip a beat regardless of the context surrounding the words themselves. There's no need to agree to the bargain bit; Hotaru will do all she can to avoid that particular outcome before it happens. For the child's sake as well as Sunjata's.
"I guess that means no kisses for you." Mischief dances in her eyes as she takes his hand and leads him back into the bedroom, already missing the comfort his embrace brought her. She sits on the edge of their bed, hand still connected to Sunjata's as she waits for him to figure out what will be most comfortable with his array of injuries. "I told Nate I was thinking of asking Frey for matching magical items for the three of us. Something that can either alert us when we're in danger, or point us to each other if we're lost. Perhaps teleport us there, like Wessex is capable of. What do you think?" He has far more familiarity with asking for boons after all, but first she wants his input on the items themselves. Needs to know if it will be useful at all beyond soothing her own rooted fears that have sprung up in the wake of Nate's abduction, her own sickness, and Sunjata's absence.
