"I wouldn't want to put your brothers through that. They do not deserve to be punished so much." Kael finally leant back from the hug, only enough that his hand could rest upon her cheek affectionately. "I will make more of an effort with Kiaan, when I can. I have tackled them too much as a pair, maybe alone it will be easier."

“Just do not take it to heart if he does not soften. He is under a lot of pressure, and without Rohan by his side as they usually are he isn’t dealing with it as well as he usually would. Mehan is picking away at him and it’s showing.” Indira explained, covering his hand with hers.

"It sounds as if he needs a friend, and I like to think I have a talent at making those."

“Remain armed, he is, and part of our worries today was that he will eventually lash out at the wrong person with force… If it happens to be you I’d like to know you have a way to defend yourself.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 16:40

"He is? That- Rauiri and Wyatt need to know that. What of Rohan, Ishaan?"

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 16:42

“Ishaan wasn’t earlier, I doubt Rohan is either. He’s settled.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 16:48

"They'll have to be checked...." Kael whispered. "Rauiri will have to be pulled on it too, he should be checking."

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 17:22

“Mm, I think Ruairi and his priorities are a little different than ours right now, he’s incredibly excited about the baby.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 17:37

"I understand it, I am happy for them but Wyatt and I put our trust in him to do his job. To keep the people within these walls safe, he is setting the tone for everyone else and if he looks like he doesn't care then it will radiate. Wyatt is unhappy with the attitude of how the men dealt with Lily today, he said they had failed her so... " Kael grimaced. "How is Avani with it all?"

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 18:34

“Convinced she is finally getting her daughter that she’s longed for, so she’s very content.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 18:57

"Mm, that much is obvious. I wanted details." He chuckled.

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 19:05

“I haven’t spent much time with her in truth, she’s attached to Ruairi’s hip. I think she’s disappointed more than she lets on about the house. But obviously she is proud of him for the promotion, what it means for him.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 19:30

"That's the mating bond, mm. I remember when Florence was pregnant with Sullivan, it is the only time I saw Wyatt clinging to her more than she was to him. So with those two, I can only imagine the turmoil."

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 19:36

“I’m glad she isn’t going through it alone… it’s isolating. And that Ruairi is as enthusiastic as he is, even if the child is a girl. She’s a lot more relaxed now than I have ever seen her.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 19:42

"He just... he needs to put more attention onto his work. It reflects bad on me, if anything happens or his men do anything that causes repercussions. Could you speak to her? See if she can soften the more difficult word Wyatt or I may need to have on him. In fact, Wyatt is speaking to him today so I don't imagine he'll be happy when he returns home to her tonight."

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 19:45

“I’ll try and spend more time with her, pull her away from him a little more so he has time and room to focus on the job.” Indira nodded.

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 20:04

"Thank you," He whispered, brushing his thumb to her cheek in affection. "You drank with Ishaan, mm? Your all rosy cheeked."

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 20:08

“Mm, yes.” Indira admitted with a laugh, “We had a few… I promised him that we would see each other every five years at least, that if he could not make it to me I would go to him… I hope that is okay?”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 20:12

"You needn't ask my permission, you're a free woman. He seems more like the man I was getting to know, this time, before.. all of it."

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 20:17

“The baby, he doted on him. Having something to fight for has given him his spark back. He reminds me of you, and how good you are with Idris.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 20:19

"Idris and Rhea need to spend more time together, if - if you want that? It is a conversation to be had between us, Daphne too. I would like them to be close though."

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 20:30

“I think it best if that is a conversation I’m not involved in, especially if you are broaching the topic of me being mistress with her, I do not want to push her too far. But I am more than happy for them to spend as much time together as possible, it would be lovely if they’re close.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 20:37

"She is finding any reason to hate me at the moment," Kael mumbled. "It has been relentless the past few months."

Phoenix Fri 11 Oct - 20:43

“Her sisters exploited her vulnerability being pregnant - it was incredibly manipulative of them to do so. Which is a shame because the younger girl seems to get on well with the other children.”

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Oct - 20:53

"The youngsters always adjust better, they don't hold the same bias. They aren't as conditioned." Kael sighed. "I feel like I have lost her entirely now. She claimed Wyatt dismissing her hurt her, because she wanted to be the one to comfort me but she - she didn't. She twisted it, accused Wyatt of lying and gave me ultimatums. She didn't even have to walk to me, I would have gone to her but it was confrontation, straight away."
