"Yeah. I know."

"I like you guys."

Permalink

"We like you too."

Permalink

"Very much," Gleam says softly, putting her hand on Micqui's shoulder.

Permalink

She looks up for the first time since they entered. 

"Are you gonna let me stay with you?"

Permalink

"Yes, we are."

Permalink

"Okay..."

Permalink

"Do you want to leave now?"

Permalink

"Yeah." She glances at the attorney. "He's nice, I guess. But I wanna be - home."

Permalink

"Then we'll make one with you," Gleam says, softly.

Permalink

She stands, quiet, and nods a little.

Permalink

Elathea pats her shoulder. "Come on, then."

Permalink

She follows them out.

Then back to Elathea's manse. She'll detail one of the dragonblooded to take care of anything else that needs immediate attention here.

(There's not going to be too much. Shochi had her affairs exceptionally in order.)

Micqui's being clingy with whichever adult will let her. Still, she's been to Elathea's manse before, which means she knows the best place to go sit down and curl up sadly.

"Do you want her or the babies?" Elathea asks her wife after Micqui wanders off.

Permalink

She sits down and puts her hands over her face.

"I don't know. I - "

"I should know how to handle this. I've handled tough things before. But - "

Permalink

Hug.

"Hey. It'll be all right."

Permalink

Snuggle!

"Yeah."

"We'll get through it."

Permalink

"And Micqui will as well."

Permalink

"Yeah." Snuggle! "You're very excellent."

Permalink

Soft kiss. "I know."

Permalink

She strokes Samira's head, softly, and kisses her wife.

"I don't want to use a guest room for Micqui long term, but - one of the ones closer to our wing does work, for now... Or - if she wants a bed in the nursery room, there's a lot of space there." (Especially given that's usually where Gleam sleeps, especially if it's her night to feed the babies, and she likes room to sprawl out.)

Permalink

"I can ask if she has a preference."

Permalink

Nod. "Thanks."

Permalink

Elathea will go to do that, then.
