Snippet #2765009

Rhyanid chuckled a bit when she said how otherworldly this woman's kids looked. "Sounds like you have a bit of a girl crush," he told her jokingly, smirking a bit. When she looked over at James, he followed her gaze, and he blinked when she asked if he'd like to try to get James into his crib without waking him. "I mean, I don't see why not," he said with a laugh. He gently set Isla down on the floor and stood up, walking over to the sleeping James. He reached down and carefully scooped James up, making sure to be slow and gentle, and to avoid any sudden movements. He'd rather not wake up James, especially not when he was hoping to start kissing James's mother, and James would likely be in the way of that.

Yoranda laughed when he said he saw how she really felt, and she smirked a bit when he remembered that he wouldn't be struggling since he'd have her to help him, just like Haera had Istrain. "Exactly. You'll be fine. You'll know which triplet is which, even if all three of them end up fucking identical, although I really hope that's not the case. Plus, when they're born, we'll get Barynn to make little baby bracelets with their names on. That way if you're ever not sure, you just check the bracelet - and you only take the bracelet off for washing the babies, and only ever take one bracelet off at a time or else you're fucked," she giggled. She laughed as he tickled her sides and then let him tuck her in, nodding when he said he'd tell her a bedtime story to practice being a dad. "That's really sweet," she said softly.

Bastian smiled when she said she hoped she'd eased him and he nodded. "You did. Thank you, cherie," he said. He blinked when she asked if he wanted to come in with her, letting her pull him a bit further into the water. "As long as your brother wouldn't be mad or anything. The look on your face tells me I'd be coming in for more than just a glass of wine and some conversation," he told her with a bit of a smirk of his own.

Jerome let her consider his words and he nodded when she came to her decision, quite pleased with it. "Of course we can start off that way. If you decide along the way that it isn't working out, simply let me know ahead of time that you'll switch to bringing it here so I can make sure he doesn't waste his time stopping at your home. Now, we do need to decide upon a pre-determined drop-off location at your home in case you don't answer - in case an emergency comes up and you're not home, for example, because remembering to pay your rent is the last thing on your mind when a friend's life hangs in the balance or something like that. As I said, many people choose to leave it in their mailbox if they leave the house, but others just leave it on the kitchen counter and the collector lets himself in to get it. It's up to you," he told her.
