turn your face to the sun - let the shadows fall behind us
His words make her laugh as she surrenders to the happy girl she is used to being, neatly tucking away her lingering sadness with ease.
"Probably not the last time," She says, haughtily looking at him out of the corner of her eye. But she doesn't hold the look for long before reaching in to nip his neck with another laugh. It takes a moment for her to stop laughing, it felt good to feel good again.
But the Dragon King's look turns curious and she can nearly guess his next question. She watches him closely, she wasn't going to bring up the topic of her new pregnancy, but now that it has been broached she is glad to be able to tell someone.
"Hmm, you have a good eye, Amet." Her tone remains light as she stalls, but Tang can't help but send a momentary glance to the stars - to the supernova. But the glance is only that, a glance, and her focus returns to Amet. "But no, it is not Warrick's child," she confesses, almost sadly. Customs were so different in Beqanna, sometimes she was surprised when she did something which was not acceptable, but she wouldn't be surprised if he was disappointed in her for choosing a father she would probably never see again. She tries to read him, should she tell him about her dream? Of the night a god had come down from space and meet her in the meadow? Should she tell others that her beautiful daughter was the child of a dark god? She can't hide the slight look for concern which hardens her brow.
"Have you ever heard of Carnage?"
She could trust Amet... right?
