She had expected Loccian to heed her husband's call, but another answered. His face was familiar, and she knew who he was -- Themisto, a cousin of Maverick's. Not a man that she had seen much of, but she'd heard nothing but good things about him. With a polite nod she greeted him, letting a smile grace her features, quickly erasing the slight frown that had lingered all morning. "Good morning, sir," she greeted him warmly, though he hadn't addressed her directly -- she was too distraught this morning to worry about it for too long. Slowly the Princess dipped her head in greeting, leaning back to recline on her haunches. She was not at all upset as Maverick took control of the situation -- since she had come to Seracia, though her ego had not diminished, she had learned to trust her husband immensely. She felt no need to dominate him; nor to submit to him. But she was comfortable letting him take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and ask the healer something they both needed to know. The symptoms sounded familiar, but not startling to her. "Then I am likely pregnant," she stated after a moment of silence. Her lyrics were somewhat somber, though did not lack excitement entirely. Epiphron shifted from one paw to the other, considering. "I will give it a few more days before we speak to Gerhardt. Thank you, Themisto." She did appreciate the advice, but while it did help, it did not completely clear up her confusion -- a few more days would likely settle the matter, but she was growing convinced she really was pregnant. She averted her blue gaze to Maverick, somewhat questioningly. He'd been around her more than anyone; what did he think? |
