I've got something to say

He chuckled at Emer's words. He understood the woman's worry for her children, but he knew that Cecily had to be thrilled to be out and about. She didn't seem one to enjoy sitting still, that was for sure. A large weight had been lifted from his chest, and he knew from Emer's as well, that Cecily was bouncing back from the epidemic. He didn't know what he'd had done if he'd lost her. Perhaps he was truly starting to see her as an adopted daughter. That thought reminded him of the conversation he needed to have with Emer. He would shift forward, until he was lying on the ground, and comfortable before he would look at her again. "Cecily and I had a rather... interesting conversation." He would begin, wondering if Emer would realize what he was about to say. "Cecily.. asked me to be her 'Dad'." He said simply, though the matter was anything but simple.
Valerius knew what implications his agreement with Cecily could have, and he wanted to see that he and Emer were on the same page... whatever that page was. He had started to see Emer's small family as his too, and he wondered if she was okay with that. The matter certainly was complicated.
