Oh well that solves that problem. (Kissing someone who's holding a baby is kind of weird? Whatever.) Mmmm. She is every bit as kissable as he might have hoped.

I can put her down somewhere if there's somewhere.

- yeah she's totally reading his mind - well that just makes it convenient to talk while he is busy kissing her - would she like him to fly her somewhere that has a comfortable place to sit down and a good place to put the baby - what are the criteria for good places to put a baby -

That'd be swell! Anywhere softish not the floor should be good.

So he scoops them both up and turns them all into wind and flies through the castle to a charmingly decorated bedroom with a lovely view down the mountain, and as soon as they arrive he conjures a sort of cozy pillowy nest-thing for her to put her baby in.

Being wind is exhilarating! She nests her baby and twirls into his arms cackling delightedly.

And he kisses her and picks her up and spins her around and then tosses her onto the enormous soft bed and pounces.

Gosh! What ever might he be going to do with her!

Delightful things, he hopes!

Oh gosh! She just so happens to love delightful things!

It's nice how that works out!

Yep!!!!

And - some hours later - what a delightfully delighted orf he now has. Perhaps he will snuggle her. That sounds like a plan.

Snuggle! And: The baby's hungry.

Cozy snuggle.

- vague uncertainty regarding what to do about that.

Do you have food here? She'll eat most things. Crickets? Zucchini? Millet?

"...I have food here. Not sure I can manage crickets. Would you like to just try stuff -?"

Sure! What's complicated about crickets?

"I have a spell for conjuring food and it can do anything I've ever given it but I've never given it crickets."

He conjures some food. First six things that come to mind.

She scoops up her baby. She tastes a creamy soup one handed, then gives the baby a spoonful. The baby gnaws on a bivalve. She seems to approve. Tastes of everything go in orf and then in baby and things the baby likes continue to go in the baby and then the orf finishes three of the things herself.

What a cute orf he has.

And then she kisses her baby's forehead and sings her a song.

It's pretty.

It is! The orf is a good singer! She knows a lot of songs and sings a bunch of them to the baby, who doesn't seem super interested.

One wonders what the point of singing them to the baby is then. But they're very pretty.
