The soft buzz of wings betrays the demifae keeping watch on the Widow's Walk. They had darted down to make the couple aware of their presence, then back to the hiding places. Cassie settles into a better position on Keon's lap and he leans back, enjoying the feel of her body against his. Soon they doze, relaxing in the warmth of the sun.

A growling wakes Keon. he opens his eyes slowly, keeping still. He hears the noise again, noting a vibration under his hand. He begins to laugh, waking Cassie. She stares at him sleepily.

"I am sorry Mela. Your stomach rumbled at the same time my phone went off."

They shift and he pulls his phone from a pocket to answer the call.

"Aye Guunnar, we will be down shortly." he flips the phone shut, tucking it back into his pocket. "Ramji has brought word that Herne will be here before nightfall in this Realm. Come lover. Let's get you and the baby fed..." He frowns. "We need to think of names. We can't keep calling our wee one 'baby'."

Cassie kisses his cheek and slides off his lap. "Keon, would you be upset if we have a girl? I mean, most men want sons and..."

He cuts her off with a kiss. "Mela. I have three sisters and two, had two, brothers. If our wee one is a girl, I am sure, as sure as the hills of Eire are green, that she will be a hellion. Do you think it will be a lass?"

She nods and Keon beams, his smile bright in his dark complexion. "Come my love, let's see if Guunnar left anything to eat."
