Exton

Pandora feels the change in energy before Obsidian strides over to hug her and tell her Star is awake... everything is going to be fine. "Bruha, we are to tell the children about their new cousin, a boy child"... He starts to laugh..."Mr. No Name. Before we go up I will tell Thea and Adrian that Star is okay".... Ob crosses to their table and just gives them a brief word, seeing their relief, and assures them Laila will call with details.

Pandora smiles and Ob swoops an arm around her as they go up the stairs. The nursery is neat as a pin;and Pandora makes a mental note to increase the nanny's wage, for she knows what the children were like just awhile before... the whole tavern heard them.

The nanny is seated with the children around her, they seem rapt in the attention they are giving to her story... Ob and Pandora's entrance distracts them and setting the book aside they all look to the handsome couple. 

Together Ob and Pandora tell them that Star has had the baby and they have a new boy cousin... Tomas boisterously yells "a boy like me"... and grins from ear to ear... already imagining boy adventures they will take. Pandora kneels and hugs and kisses them each in turn... telling them how good they have been while everyone waited for the baby to come... and that soon there will be a party to celebrate their new cousin.

The children lap up the attention; and Ob bending to tell them as much seems to excite them even further. Pandora tells them she is sending up hot chocolate and cookies to celebrate... but they must sit quiet till it comes and finish the nanny's story. The children settle, smiles on their faces... looking to the nanny as she resumes the story... although Tomas cannot resist a triumphant look at Ob as he contemplates a boy companion.

Ob and Pandora leave amid chuckles at the children... especially Tomas. Ob sweeps Pandora into his arms as soon as the door closes, and kisses her passionately; whispering into her ear.."Perhaps we should work harder on another child bruha", his desire evident as he presses her close, and she sighs against him... "I can't wait till the evening's close...."
