He looks down at his hand, still on hers, and frowns slightly.
Yes- you're right, of course. We'll be fine- all of us.
He looks up at her and tries to smile, but it's weak at best.

Yes. He will. And we'll all be safe.
Smiles for real this time.
And maybe we can have some more pleasant topics to talk about then.

I'm sure we can.

He keeps looking at her with a smile for a while, until Narwain runs up to him.
Es, Es! Can I take Cheddar? Loth says I can't, because we're moving to a big fancy house and we're going to be big fancy people and they don't have mice, but-
He glances sideways at his little brother.
Of course you can.
Narwain runs off again, and Eskel smiles apologetically.
Cheddar is his- familiar. Remember never to call it a pet.

*She smiles.*
I won't forget. I had an animal companion when I was that age. A new one, ever time I saw one. They never seemed to stay around, though.
*She winks.*
Took me awhile to figure out only druids and rangers had animal companions. What kind of familar is Cheddar?

Chuckles.
Cheddar is a Celestial Lightning Mouse, I'm afraid. Narwain saved him from the neighbour's cat, who, like most of us, mistaked him for a common grey house mouse...

*She laughs.*
A Celestial mouse? That's quite the interesting creature to find lying around - I suppose it's true nature came as a shock.

Grins
Considering it was a Lightning Mouse at that, yes, highly shocking. Now he has yet to show his real powers, but according to Narwain he's just keeping them for when the world needs saving. He looks like a common grey house mouse just to foil the fiends who may be after him. Like the neighbour's cat, who is a secret agent of- Asmodeus, I think.
Orcus!
Oh, sorry. Orcus.

*She hides her laugh behind her hand.*
A fiendish housecat in service of orcus is hunting Cheddar? Well, we can't have that. I'm sure Cheddar is more than smart enough to beat the evil brute if he needs too, though.

Chuckles.
Yep.
Oh yes, he is, but he hates blowing his cover. So Narwain is his protector on the Prime Material. You're not supposed to tell anyone else though, or the forces of evil might find out.

*She nods gravely, though her eyes twinkle.*
My lips are sealed. I'll never reveal his true identity.

He laughs.
Thank you, Taerlin. Perhaps one day you'll actually get to join him in fighting evil.
Looks at his siblings.
I was actually planning pancakes, but they're much too excited now. Perhaps some other time- would you like that at all?
Glances back at her.

*She smiles warmly.*
I would love that, Eskel. You'll have to show me your new home, as soon as you can. I'm looking for one for Chessa and myself, actually. Tarot's doing his own thing again, and won't likely need a home, seeing as he'll wind up living at the Academy. Perhaps I could find one near yours.

He smiles back.
Oh, I will. I would also love to have you for a neighbour. While you're looking, you're welcome to stay over, of course. I'll have more than enough room for you both.
Looks at his hand and finds it is still resting on hers. He chuckles softly and gives it a light squeeze.
