Behind These Stone Walls

Cobalt eyes half lidded in pleasure as she held Eindrel, her lips curving into a small, happy grin. The girl was adorable. The perfect image of Haseo and Hatake, though she didn't really want to think about that aspect of the child's origins. Lightly her head tilted to the side, causing a cascade of brown curls to roll down her shoulder and spill about the back of her body as the young Empress pressed her lips to Eindrel's forehead.

"Are you going to steal Papa from me?

Treble couldn't hide the smile that flashed across her lips at the girl's somber tone, or incredibly serious question as implored about her papa, and whether or not the Empress would be stealing him. Though her arms tightened around Eindrel a bit, and her face grew grave, and serious as Haseo plucked the young Freyalin out of Treble's arms. She stood too, making sure to look at Eindrel, not the Freya, as she shook her head slowly. "No sweet heart. I'd never try an steal your papa from you. Not ever." Reaching out, she gently trailed her hand through the girl's hair, tucking it behind her ear, and then let her hand drop to softly slip into Haseo's palm. "Besides, won't it be fun to have another girl around? Now we can do girl things like go shopping, and I can teach you how to wear make up, and..." A thought of brilliance struck Treble then, the best way to win over the young girl.

"And now, when papa says no, there's two of us that can try and make him say yes." Treble grinned lightly, wiggling her eyebrows as she looked at Haseo, her hand squeezing his softly before she lifted her free hand, stifling a light yawn. "Oh, and there's someone I want you to meet, too!" Eliciting a sharp whistle, a pure black dog, though dog was a massive understatement, it looked more like a horse as big as it was, cam barreling out of blue mists. It had pure golden eyes, flecked with small specks of silver, and its fur was pure fluff. "This is Conan, my hell puppy." Treble grinned as the dog bounded around the three, letting out a massive *bark* before whining a little. He turned in a circle and then sat right next to Haseo, lifting his head to idly lick at Eindrel's leg. "He's going to be staying here with us for a while, and I know he'd love to have a playmate, that is, if you'll play with him, Eindrel." Treble grinned lightly as she reached down, idly rubbing along the dog's head before looking back up to Haseo and nodded lightly.

"There's nothing to apologize for, love. I understand." Shrugging gently, Treble leaned up to place a small, quick kiss to Haseo's cheek before plucking Eindrel from his arms and turning, her booted feet soundlessly walking down the hall as she carried on a conversation with the young Freyalin. "So.., where's the kitchen in this huge place? I think we should make some cookies."
