Nathaniel was being hugged and he nearly grumbled like a petulant house cat, but for Eva, he refrained. The King of Helheim didn't like breakfast gatherings (or any gatherings) very much anyway. After a moment, Nate returned her hug and even leaned into it. "That's true," he agreed about Cruella de Vil herself. "Luckily, we speak the same language," Nate offered with absolutely no hint of a brag. "I can't look away," he changed the subject quickly and nodded toward the group of their children. "I don't care what 'the people' think," he started, focused on Brayden's laughing face. "You've truly given us a gift," he told her and lowered his head to kiss in front of Eva's crown.
