Istrain smiled when Haera leaned into his hand and held on to it. When she suggested that he start talking to his babies, he grinned. He definitely wanted to talk to them. He blinked, glancing over when Birger said that he had his own twins to talk to, and when Haera said that Yoranda and Unarelle were both pregnant, he blinked slightly. "Who the hell knocked up Una? She doesn't even really talk to men," he said, shaking his head a bit. It was tricky to lean down because of his wound, but he brought his face close to Haera's stomach and kissed the small, barely-there bump. "Hey there, little pebbles. Uhh... I'm your dad. Wow, that's weird to say," he said with a laugh.
