"And who might you be?" His dark eyes darted back and forth between her blue ones, unreadable yet searching and she barely suppressed a shiver. She knew the question was a formality, his tone indicated he knew who she was. At the very least, he knew...

The following morning was quiet.
Marcel accompanied Klaus and Fane to the reopening of St. Anne's church, Kol staying in the Abbattoir with Febe as she recovered. Andromeda slept well into the day, opening her eyes to recognize the arched ceilings of the plantation house. The sounds of voices and laughter reached her ears from where she laid, and Andy recognized them as Elijah and Regulus in the backyard. Her Original had taken to fixing the stables, and Reggie liked to accompany him in their shared project.
The elemental lightly stretched with a moan, feeling well rested as she slowly rose from where she laid. Andy knew that Elijah could hear that she was awake as she moved to take a warm shower, her Original waiting for her in their shared bedroom as she exited in just a towel.

"Better. Kol is taking care of her."
Andy pulled away enough from his embrace to rise on her tiptoes, and Elijah lowered his head to press his lips against her fuller ones. "There is food downstairs. You should eat, we also have a few things to discuss as well." Her Original murmured, and Andromeda raised a brow with a quizzical look. "About what?"
"Regulus seems rather insistent on a new pet..."

"We have plenty of room, elskan." He projected his voice so that she may hear him, and Andy clicked her tongue as she shed her towel to slip on matching underwear. "That is besides the point. We already have enough going on with the new baby coming, and-"
"Yes, but it will help make this place feel more like a home. Regulus is growing older, surely-"
"Elijah, who will take care of it? He is already spoiled-"
