"I'd like to think so. It'd be nice."
"Then a family we are.." Avery states hesitantly
"Rogue wildling. Most live in small communities and stick to their own, but this one was a loner. It's been a long time."
"I see. Can't say I've heard of a lone one before, but.. First time for everything."

"Then a family we are.."
Aru beamed, and Zay couldn't help but smile a little, looking at her.
"I see. Can't say I've heard of a lone one before, but.. First time for everything."
"It's not common, but it's not impossible," he replied, glancing at Aru as the boy's eyes drifted closed. "Do you want to lay down?" he asked quietly.
Aru shook his head, settling. "No, I'm fine."

"It's not common, but it's not impossible,"
"I see. Well, I hope I never meet one, regardless."
"Do you want to lay down?"
"No, I'm fine."
Pausing a moment, Avery listens to the two of them, head tilting "Aru, maybe you should sleep in a bed, since you've been in your other form so long."

"Aru, maybe you should sleep in a bed, since you've been in your other form so long."
The boy shook his head, murmuring, "No, I'm okay."
"C'mon kiddo," Zay held him and stood with a small groan, walking towards the bedroom, "Let's get you to bed."
"But what about you guys?" he yawned, lifting his head a little. "Where will you sleep?"
"We'll figure it out." Zay laid him down covering him up. "You deserve the bed."
"No," Aru protested, feathers ruffling as he settled. "You do."
He laughed a little, covering him up. "No, you've been a fighter. You get it for the night." Aru murmured something unintelligible and rolled onto his side. Zay straightened, gaze slightly guarded as he stepped back out, letting him sleep.

"No, I'm okay."
Opening her mouth to object, Avery pauses, shutting it when X'Zayvean speaks, gaze softens
"C'mon kiddo. Let's get you to bed."
"But what about you guys? Where will you sleep?"
Standing when Zay does, her hand snaps out and she grasps the end of his shirt, walking with him, stills when he lays Aru down in the bed, listening to the soft shuffle of covers
"We'll figure it out. You deserve the bed."
"No. You do."
"No, you've been a fighter. You get it for the night."
"He's right, Aru." she murmurs quietly, hand finds his, leans down and kisses his head flawlessly before pulling back "Goodnight."

"He's right, Aru. Goodnight."
Zay watched Avery, smiling gently at the small smile on Aru's face, gently taking Avery's hand to lead her out once she was done, letting out a small sigh of relief.

Following Zay out, her hand tightens in his, steps closer to him, head coming to rest on his shoulder as she pulls him to a stop "You know, I never did tell you."

"You know, I never did tell you."
He stopped and looked at her, eyes alert. "What haven't you told me?"

"What haven't you told me?"
"That you'd make a wonderful father and brother. That my commander is not exactly open to the thought of strangers in his camp, so I'm not sure how tomorrow will go." Avery murmurs quietly after a moment of pause, small forced smile, nervous

"That you'd make a wonderful father and brother. That my commander is not exactly open to the thought of strangers in his camp, so I'm not sure how tomorrow will go."
A spark of surprise flickered across his face. "I... I'm not so sure about that," he replied, a small laugh escaping. "As for your commander, I think they should trust someone who walks with their head night. I'm certain a knight wouldn't trust just anyone."

"Well, I am. The way you treat Aru makes me sure of the fact. And maybe one day, we'll give him a sibling." Avery murmurs half to herself, not serious but testing to see how he'll react, soft sigh "You know that, and so do I, but i'm not so sure he does."

"Well, I am. The way you treat Aru makes me sure of the fact. And maybe one day, we'll give him a sibling."
Zay leaned back a little to look at her completely, iceberg eyes studying and surprised, and he forced a laughed with a shake of his head, thinking she wasn't serious, yet half hoped she wasn't. "You can't be serious," he whispered, returning to how he once stood, though his ears were a little red.
"You know that, and so do I, but i'm not so sure he does."
"We'll still go together."

"You can't be serious,"
Stilling at the laugh, she cringes inwardly but keeps up a calm facade, shakes her head at his words "Of course I'm not." she murmurs quietly, unable to keep a small hitch out of her breath "This is no place to raise a child anyhow, not the time. And I'd most likely die in combat young."
"We'll still go together."
"Thank you. But if I ask you to do something, to keep you safe and out of harms way, will you do it?" she murmurs, voice quiet

"Of course I'm not. This is no place to raise a child anyhow, not the time. And I'd most likely die in combat young."
Catching a change in tone, he held his breath a moment, slowly recognizing the sound.
"Thank you. But if I ask you to do something, to keep you safe and out of harms way, will you do it?"
Zay hesitated, wondering if it would show how he felt, but he caught the last half of her question. Arm pulling her close to his side, he leaned down and kissed the top of her head gently, lingering before he replied, "You won't die any time soon," he murmured. "I won't let it happen. As for staying out of harm's way, that's not generally something I'm particularly good at, but for you," he smiled a little, "I will try."

Jolting a bit, she stills when lips brush her forehead, eyes close at his statement
"You won't die any time soon. I won't let it happen."
"You don't know that. And you can't always be there to protect me, X'zayvean." she murmurs, pointing the fact out and enforcing it by using his full name, ghost of a look passing her face, soft inhale, small forced smile, disheartened after their brief mention of children
"As for staying out of harm's way, that's not generally something I'm particularly good at, but for you. I will try."
"Thank you. Because you'll have to do as I ask tomorrow.."
