The dissipation of his magic is a beauty to behold, and a convenient excuse to watch something other than the emotions plainly visible on his face. As he joins her with her legs in the water, she repeats the names in her head; Margot and Marcus. Margot and Marcus. Now that she knows them she can embroider the baby blankets she'd made which had been sitting in storage so far, waiting for that final touch.
"Beautiful," she murmurs in compliment, though she does crack a smile at the use of alliteration for twins. She'd done the same with her first twins.
It is tempting to immediately disagree with the notion of them needing her. Evie was the best for healing, Phoebe the best for midwifery, not to mention Noah and Vi'dor's abilities. What could they possibly need from her? Attachment? They would have no shortage of eager candidates to be aunties and uncles, cousins and friends.
But magic...
"They've demonstrated it so soon?" Concern creases her brow as she lifts her eyes back to his helplessly in exactly the way he'd hoped as his hand touches her knee, stilling the restless motions of her legs. Still, she shakes her head slightly without looking away from him. "They won't need me for that for many more years. I - Noah I don't know if I can." An admission she is safe to make in his presence, free of fear of judgment for her weakness.
