Chryseis' arrival on the island had felt as close to a heavens sent gift as she could imagine. It had been wonderful to catch up with her step-daughter, and she'd been relieved to witness for herself that she was very much alive and okay in all of Beqanna's chaos. But they would have to get her healed up sooner than later, the poor girl was probably suffering more than she let on. She disguised her illness relatively well though, unperturbed even when Breckin had asked if she might be up for watching the twins for a bit that day. In fact, she had seemed rather excited, and the girls were equally excited to spend some time away from their mother and more time with their older sibling. There was a bit of worry that remained as the leopard woman had left the trio to their own devices, but that was to be expected; she would probably always worry for all of them until her dying breath.
It proved to be slightly difficult finding him, perhaps her tracking skills had gone soft and lax while she'd been preoccupied raising the girls. Eventually, she came across him near a spring, not bothering to try to mask her approach as the obvious crunch underfoot marked her approach. He might give her a questioning look when he noticed that their daughters were not with her, but hopefully, the relaxed expression on her face would ease his mind, reading that she was not frantic because they had gone missing. Breckin wouldn't be gone long from them at least anyway, she couldn't stay away from them for long even if she had rather liked to try. But she and Leilan both could use a break from the new routine of their life, and she hoped that today he would humor her enough to spend some private time alongside her.
She tried not to, but a stupid half grin had already begun to twitch at the corner of her dark lips the closer she had stepped towards him. Already she was entirely too amused with herself when she stilled beside the broad side of his scaled body, though not directly touching, easily recalling with her gift the day and the first words he had spoken to her so many years ago in the Forest.
"Excuse me, but would you mind to share your body heat? It's awfully cold out here."
