Re: In a most extraordinary voice between laughing and crying...
"I'm lucky?" she questioned his choice of words (attacking mothers). "You're lucky that isn't a habit of yours," said the Goddess of Motherhood. She found herself smiling warmly though, all joking aside. Baldr was right - Eva Silvercloud was lucky. "Please - tease as much as you'd like," she finally replied. "Especially Nate. Don't tell him I confirmed any of this - feel free to drop more hints that you're onto us," Zap laughed.
She leaned down, arm still cradling Astrid in her belly, and kissed Baldr's hand where both were grasping the arm of her throne. "Great things can be built on hope," kingdoms, rebellions, y'know. Once she was sitting upright again, Zap's face relaxed. "After this last grievance, you and I are going to have a snuggle," she proclaimed. "It sounds like if we keep each other happy, everyone else will follow," the queen reasoned after Baldr's earlier sentiments. They hadn't had a proper cuddle in a few days, at least. Hmph.
