Timm moved back into the room and stared at her plate of food, "You should eat."

"Eat with me," she offerred, turning back towards the window with a sigh.

Timm shook his head, "I was picking at food while I waited in the kitchens. You go ahead."

Tristeza shrugged and took an unapologetically large bite from the tray. After she swallowed she asked "Would you like to feel the baby?"

Timm nodded, and smiled warmly. Reaching out he put his hand on her belly.

Tristeza glanced up at Timm, apparently surprised that he had been able to decipher her expression. "Nothing," she answered with a small smile, as her gaze drifted back towards the window, as though it were magnetically trained.

"Nothing is wrong, Timm." she said soothingly, "Nothing that hasn't been wrong for a very long time. I am just home-sick."

Timm nodded, "Of course Tristeza. Of course." His tone implied doubt.

Tristeza considered him through the corners of her narrowed eyes, "That is the truth." she said firmly.

"No," Tristeza replied sourly, turning her attention back to the window. "I am not hungry. Will you eat this?" she gestured towards the tray he had brought.
