Ā Ā Ā Ā the question is urgent enough to demand rapt attentionā¦ Ā but dwight can hardly hear her words, let alone focus at all. Ā Ā she has hold of his collar again, beguiling little witch, and tiny fingers wrap around it greedily as eyes take her prize in with uncomprehending fascination. Ā Ā already, she is a pirate queen Ā ā Ā just like her mother. Ā Ā more than a week since she was born now, and dwight has found it impossible to separate from her. Ā all other concerns have fallen to the wayside, far less significant now than they rightfully are. Ā all the world could be boiled down to this cottage, Ā h e r , Ā and the remarkable woman she has borrowed her striking dark eyes from.
Ā Ā Ā Ā ā never been a fan of āqās, ā Ā Ā Ā he replies, shifting the child in his arms so she can regard her mama. Ā at the sight of esmeraldaās accomplishment, his grin widens Ā ;; Ā Ā it is all he can do not to laugh out loud. Ā Ā Ā Ā ā by god, sheāll be nameless until sheās twenty at this rate. ā
Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā NOT A FAN OF QāS,Ā Ā mmm ?Ā āĀ with a mere turn of phrase, Esmeralda is so easily distracted fromĀ this task that had just moments ago held her RAPT attention. itās enrapturing, watching him smile down at her, this NAMELESS babe of theirs, as though she had grabbed his heart with tiny fingers instead of his collar. ( she hasnāt felt that instant connection that mothers so often speak of, but itās enough to witness it in Dwight. heās spared no effort to ensure she feels it too, and sheās sure she will. in the meantime āāā she only loves him all the MORE. ) with the lightest of laughs, she abandons her list, snuggling in beside them to rest her head on his shoulder and gaze down at that girl theyād SOMEHOW created.Ā
Ā Ā āĀ Ā naming them too early is BAD LUCK, you know. maybe itās not such a bad thing.Ā āĀ she truly sounds like a superstitious old sailorĀ now, carrying on about BAD LUCK. thereās the faintest twist of nervousness in her stomach, but his hands are suitably occupied āā she wouldnāt dream of sequestering them away āāā so she runs her hands through his hair instead. āĀ itās not like we can change our minds afterwards.Ā āĀ Ā
