The hurt in her eyes pulled at his heartstring. He found himself wishing he could fiz, somehow. He remembered with a pang how they had once spoken of a surrogate with Halo. HIm and Hika… Now, that didn’t seem like it was ever going to come to fruition, either. Hika had moved on.
It seemed he wasn’t the only one thinking it, and he found himself blinking at her in surprise. He hadn’t been sure how comfortable she had been at the entire idea, and was surprised it was still on her mind. Children? He brushed the idea gently aside, and took a sip of his refill. It was all too complicated, and he wasn’t sure what the right thing to do was. The expression he gave her was a little helpless, uncertain.
He felt her settle a little more against his wing, and he wrapped his wingtips gently around her. He found himself, almost without meaning to, leaning to her side. She was so small and delicate against his wing. “Perhaps later. Right now, I’m just happy to sit here”He said, his eyes warm on her. Snacks would mean moving, and he wasn’t really hungry, not anymore. The warmth was filling his stomach too much to feel it.
