She said smiling slightly, bending down to Bane reaching her hand out, though stopping short, "may I?" She asked quietly before continuing; "the new... decree has a rather uncharacteristic fear tiding through the house."
Letting out a quiet sigh at that, she stood then, quirking a small smile before crossing her arms lightly, biting the corner of her lip. "So- do you want something? Tea, coffee- I believe there is some apple juice left," she said almost quietly teasing.
"Dinner should be on fairly soon, it's eggplant risotto and spaghetti bolognese for Val.." As no four year old like anything with vegetables in it.
