"Another boy?" Nathaniel inquired with only a pinch - just the smallest dab - of his signature sarcasm. "Because the first one turned out wonderfully," he more openly snarked, his features quickly shifting into something resembling apologetic. Only, only because his rather grim silhouette 'graced' the comparatively cheery confines of Eva's Asgardian suite.
Brayden's development aside, Nathaniel continued to hold Eva - honestly thrilled about her lovely but unexpected news. Relationships with the Goddess of Motherhood generally led to consequences, like children... or so the death deity assumed - this being his first relationship with such a goddess. And even the news of a masculine child brought a certain amount of ease to his form. "I was worried about a daughter... having to compete with Astrid," Nate added, only partially joking.
His long torso arched back so that he could better see his wife's face - since he'd enveloped her over the news. "Are we keeping it a secret, or is it a Yule Ball announcement?" he added, admittedly cheekily. "I'm honored," Nate told her while he stared down into her eyes. "You know I talk too much when I'm nervous or excited..." which was his way of begging her to rescue him from himself.
