Tristeza Martell's Chambers

[brigida]

As the song wound down, Tristeza giggled unexpectedly, "You do like that, don't you?" she murmured sweetly to the child, who had grown still within her.

[The Smith]

"Yes" Sergyo said.

[brigida]

Tristeza jumped violently, as her eyes whipped to the side. She placed both hands on her stomach as she took a deep breath of relief, the shock fading from her face, "You startled me," she muttered, through a sigh. It was not an accusation, but merely an observation.

[The Smith]

"I thought you were speaking to me." He replied, "How do you feel?"

[brigida]

"Mm," she mumured, he fingers still brushing her belly, "I am tired all of the time, and lonely most of it. But the view is pleasant, and the child seems happy." her voice was light, and full of air, like a gentle breeze.

[The Smith]

"Good." The Sea Lord replied. "Have you been eating the dried fruits I have sent with each meal? They are good for the baby."

[brigida]

Tristeza smiled impishly, "Yes, father" she said with an exaggerated sigh, and a short laugh.

[The Smith]

Sergyo sat, and nodded as she laughed, "Do you need any more books?"

[brigida]

Tristeza smiled contentedly, her eyes closing against the bright sun, "That would be nice," she purred.

[The Smith]

The Sea Lord nodded, "I will arrange it." He went back to staring at the wall.

[brigida]

Tristeza held out a hand to him, still smiling lethargically, "Come," she said sweetly, her voice almost eager.

[The Smith]

The Sea Lord moved to her and took her hand. "Yes?" He raised an eyebrow.

[brigida]

She held his hand to her stomach, and smiled up at him, "She's turning," she said, "She wants to say hello to her father."

[The Smith]

The Sea Lord laid his hand on her belly and felt the movement of the child. A small smile decorated his face.

[brigida]

As Sergyo leaned over to feel her stomach, Tristeza reached forward, and placed an unexpected kiss upon his cheek. "She is restless, like you." Tristeza murmured.
