Ehno seemed tense, and Geneva watched him warily. Although she had known the man since she had arrived in Nova Scotia, she did not know him as well as she knew Naniko. She knew that Naniko had control. Ehno was usually even tempered, but she could tell that the stress of worrying about Naniko and his children had worn thin on him. The sub-leader was relieved to see that he was watching Naniko for cues on how to react. He was showing good judgement despite the high emotion of this situation.
"Ehno, Naniko," she said, addressing them each purposely to take their attention off of their tenseness for a moment. "I think we'll give you some time alone, to get to know Lucia, Caprica, Rio, and Harlowe." With a fond look at the new litter, the woman crept toward Ty, the look on her face conveying her gratitude and pride at his actions. There would be time enough to celebrate these new lives. "We'll be nearby if you need us."
