“Of course, though I did not expect it - doubtless you did not, either.” Zephyr nodded, eyes still wide and she laughed again, pecking him on the cheek before continuing. “Priestesses are not barred from bearing children, but it is rare that we find a partner when our dedication to our work is so strong.” Ezira kept her left hand in his, the other falling to settle across her belly. “I am glad to have the chance.” He watched her, quiet falling between them for a few moments as he let the reality of it sink in. This was amazing. This was wonderful. This was… trouble waiting to happen.
“No one knows of our tryst,” he said at last, voice gentle as he leaned back against her. “For you to be with child…” She understood where he was going, cutting him off with a snort and giving him a gentle shove.
“Oh, Zeph, none of that. When have I ever worried about my name? My honor?” He opened his mouth to respond, but found no defense against her words. If she had cared about such things, she never would have let him fall for her at all. “I gave it all to you long ago.” Her lips found his, as they had so many times before, and her voice was a whisper. “No. They will be our little secret, my love. It is better that way.”
“You always did love your secrets,” Zephyr murmured, both arms slung around Ezira now as he held her to his chest within the dapple of the branches. A secret, indeed, for him, and for her, and for the breeze that moved the leaves around them. None else.
“And now there shall be one more to love.”
He sleeps alone,
He needs no army where he's headed cause he knows
That they're just ghosts
And they can't hurt him if he can't see them
And I don't know
If in the morning I will be here and if so,
Let it be known
That I was worthy,
I was worthy,
I was worthy,
I was..
