Re: Quin and Gen
Quin was a little bit of a traditionalist at heart; her entire life had been built around it in many ways. But Lancelot had changed some things in her life, for the better, she thought, and so the thought of cohabitating before marriage didn't bother her any longer.
Though they'd yet to be truly intimate, something that would probably shock Genevieve, who had a much more liberal attitude about sex. It wasn't that Quin disapproved, either; it was simply her levels of comfort with that sort of thing pretty much didn't exist. They were equalizing with Lancelot a lot more at this point, but perhaps it was because of how awkward her initial times with Ambrose had been, she wanted it to be something she went into completely freely, though that was no criticism of her previous husband at all.
She watched her son squeal happily when he was in the water and promptly try to squirm out of the boy's grip to flail around in it himself. "I'm not sure how I did it, but I have two water babies," she said in a fond tone mostly to herself.
"Oh, but you're much more interesting than me," she told her friend with a warm smile meant to relax and reassure the other woman. "I'm boring. It's been all children and work and house hunting, which seems to be going well at some points and then goes completely sideways when you blink!" She sighed gustily. "This is why I never minded when Ambrose dealt with it all, but this is a family decision now and I cannot put it all on Lancelot, not with the children involved."
