Ares . . .

[Certainly, it's got a ring to it that Leo lacks. On the other hand, Leo is charmingly down to earth.]

If this is the name on which your heart is set, I have no objections.

Now, what about a name if we have a daughter? Rinea, I shall allow you the honor of choosing what we will bestow upon our child if they are born a girl.

[tinderhearted]

M-me? But I've hardly even begun to think of a name! Are you certain?

[fallenscion]

[Berkut softly laughs, amused at how flustered she looks.]

My dear wife, do not fret. I’m sure you can think of a worthy name for our child. Does anything at all come to mind?

[tinderhearted]

[There are so many names in the world, yet not a single one comes to mind when under pressure. While this isn't the end of the world, she hates to dispirit her lord so.]

No . . . Forgive me. This is all rather sudden.

I would hate to suggest something without proper thought. May I have some time to think this over?

[fallenscion]

Of course my dear, are you getting tired? Is my child wearing you out?

[He placed a small kiss on her forehead, one hand going firmly on her stomach again.]

[tinderhearted]

[The kiss smooths out the crease in her brow, and worry gives most of its way to a small smile.]

I'm fine, my lord, and so is your child.

[One hand follows his to her belly while the other comes up to rest on his chest. Already, she feels calmer.]

Tomorrow, I shall come to you with a name for a daughter.
