Exton

Stoney settles on the floor beside Alise. He sets the cup of Gatorade on the floor, then parts her hair, twining it into a braid. "You are the first to know, besides Rowan. My family will learn we are getting bound before they EVER learn, Alise." Stoney leans forward to kiss the back of her head, "*ma déesse, is having mon bebe'."

He lifts the length of the braid, kissing it. "I am going to let them know we are getting bound, mon amour. Ob is pissed that I blocked him out. Open your mind to me Chaton... They will want to... welcome you to the family, Goddess help us... but I will keep them from finding out about our little one."

Stoney opens the paths to his Kin, Ike's gently, Tori and Ob's more abruptly. He feels Ike's joy and could hear her screech. Tori seems stunned, and Ob... Ob says nothing. There is a wash of relief and then they all start talking at once. Stoney could feel Alise recoil from the onslaught, and shouted over them all.

STOP! Mon DIEU! Enough! We will come to the Tavern when Alise is better. Let her rest for now. We will see you all soon. He feels Ob's unspoken question. Oui, oui... You can tell Pandora and the others we are getting... married.
