I was expectin' this, she thought to herself.
Yet, the Queen of Trade hadn't expected it to be so hard. Was it because she was older now? More cognizant of the loneliness that came after the stark reality of death? Alric had been her best friend, lover, and, afterward, her husband. They shared a life for over fifteen years. It was a lot to take in to move from that. It made her wonder. Made her think. Made her muse over the options and paths that lay before her. What will she do in the interim and the future, and how will she ensure Myra, Rue, Lily, and Rose are properly taken care of?
Perhaps, in living for those children, Danger could find renewed purpose. In the past, she had no lover, kin, or family to fill that space. And while she knew Alric would never love her as much as his first wife, Silara, he had been there to provide his affection, companionship, and support.
At this point, at her age, those qualities are sufficient.
As another business acquaintance left after providing their condolences, two figures caught her attention heading her way. As Danger had spent most of the last few years working with charity in the Tingal arm, she had yet to familiarize herself with new faces. Of course, there were a few, however, that required keeping up tabs.
A genuine cordial smile drew over Danger's full lips as her gaze settled upon the wonderfully pregnant Valery Noble , accompanied by her husband, Kahlil Noble .
Well, look at that. That expectant mama's radiance is spreadin' like a Tatooine sunset across the horizon, she mused to herself, amused. The crinkles in Danger's emerald eyes relaxed as her gaze softened, seeing how carefully attentive the Grandmaster's beloved cared for his wife. As always, an ache of loss and longing shot through Danger's heart, but it was duller now, no longer biting her with the jealous amphistaff poison of the loss of two babies to stillbirth, miscarriage, and the curse of her subsequent infertility thereafter.
No, this time around, the redhead could genuinely be joyful to see another woman so blessed to be able to bring forth such a miracle into the 'verse. Life may not have allowed Danger to bring life from her womb, but it did bring into her circle children whom she loved no less than if they were her blood.
"Greetings," Danger's smooth, honeyed drawl would float to the pair with genuine pleasure.
"Hope ya'll both are enjoin' yourself this mighty fine evenin.'" her attention fell to the woman's full plate, noticing a trend with the mound of jelly. The corner of her mouth perked. "And that the jelly is to your likin'?"
