She nuzzled him as he fussed over her, even though the hint in his voice was playful. She knew he was worried, and he had every right to be. Besides, being worried and fussed over kind of felt nice, and she couldn't help but to bask in his concern over her and the pups. She murred gently when he said he would take some of the burden that she was carrying if only he could. She chuckled lightly as he commented, hoping it was no more than four. She had to agree, and she nodded as she leaned into him. "At least we're not the only ones with pups in Ivalice," she mused, remembering that there were many others in the pack. Perhaps if they felt overwhelmed, they could rely on help from the other parents, Avalon included. And certainly their pups could always play around with the older kids and make friends, to amuse themselves for at least part of the day to give their mom and dad a chance to rest and relax. Esarosa felt a pup kick out as Steel pressed his nose to her belly, and she laughed. "Did you feel that?" she asked, her tail wagging, "That one feels pretty feisty." She wondered what it looked like, what all of them looked like. Who would they resemble most? Or would each pup have a balanced blend of each of their traits? And what would they be like? She knew for certain that at least one of them was going to have a strong attitude. She smiled at him as he said he couldn't wait, and she moved her nose to press against his cheek, kissing him lovingly. How lucky was she, to have broken through the hardened walls of this man, to gain his endless affection and dedication? "I can't wait, either," she murmured in a soft tone, a dreamy expression upon her face, "I want to meet them, and cuddle them, and see them grow up and start running around." She wondered what interests they would find, what they would want to do as they grew, but that was thinking too far ahead. For now, she just wanted to enjoy the present moment, and do this with her love beside her. |
