Nayru did not mind as the conversation dwindled between them. In many ways she was more comfortable with silence, and she could have easily lapsed into an easy slumber as Kahlo had already done and Temeraire seemed to be following suit as his hunger subsided. The girl had never been one for many words, it was only with those she felt closest to that she spoke freely and often, and even then it was in the quiet hush that was almost as soft as silence. And so Nayru did not try to find words to fill in the spaces between her and Saul, she only watched him with accepting eyes, eyes that saw quite clearly he belonged here as much as she.

The man shifted her daughter and Nayru watched and wondered at how natural his handling of the babe was. Her own maternal instinct had taken the painful birthing to jump start its self and even after she had felt awkward at times, fumbling with Kahlo as no natural born mother would. Yet with only a few days practice and Nayru knew well enough what to do, and Temeraire seemed not to notice if the strange lady holding him was not a pro at mothering. The boy, deaf and blind but not completely unaware had taken to her well enough. Kahlo too seemed comfortable with the man whose warmth she benefitted from and Nayru wondered if it should not be Gideon there. Quickly she shook away the thought; it was not so and so it did not matter.

Saul accepted the offer, and Nayru was not surprised. Nor was she surprised at his suggestion of leaving behind Saluce and X'yrin's den for a place of their own. There were few other options, save for Saul completely handing his only child over --which was out of the question and Nayru had never considered it a possibility. To so quickly turn away from the kindness that the couple had offered Nayru seemed a shame, but surely they would wish for their privacy back and with Saul on the lookout for Nayru and the children the Jiryu doubted very much that Saluce would put up too much of a protest. Simply she nodded, her small voice confirming only what they both already knew. "Yes. Of course." And so it was decided, and it felt not strange at all to once more be living alongside Saul, even in a more intimate situation than previously.
