Eva smiled shyly, even though she was more confident that Brid wouldn’t do anything. With a swift motion of her hand, she began leading Brid to the House. She began explaining “There’s only about ten of us. We have two leaders, Xylo and River. They’re dating, and River’s pregnant.” She paused, making sure Brid had absorbed that information, before continuing “Do you remember them from the mansion?”
Hector smiled and closed his eyes as that sound waited through the air that filled the space between them. With a gentle motion, he closed the distance between them and placed his heads on hers, his eyes still closed. As he leaned over her, he whispered, loving affection in his voice, “Every moment with you makes me feel like in a fairy tale or something.” He gave a soft chuckle at his admitting that.
Luna noticed he had glanced at her, and turned to him with a timid expression, not wanting to cause any more conflict. She too stayed silent, awaiting him to look at her once again nervously.
Persepolis closed her eyes when he leaned over her. When he spoke, she wrapped her arms around his waist. She answered, "I feel the same way when I'm with you." She tilted her head, giving him a kiss. She didn't need to say anything to convey her emotions at that moment. The touching of their wings and their physical contact with each other was enough.

Eva nodded, smiling as well in a double joy for River's sake. It seemed as if the whole group was coming together to celebrate the birth of River's child. Eva noticed her sudden soberness, and explained solemnly "From what I've been told, it took them a while to forma a group, and in that time a few of the Aves died." While she wasn't attached to the people that had perished, she didn't know if Brid was, so she maintained that serious expression as they walked."Mmhm, I do. River's pregnant? That's wonderful!" Then she sobered. "Only about ten? But I thought that more had been exiled than that..." Heartbeats began to come alive at the edges of her hearing, and she remembered how disoriented she was in large groups. The normal everyday chatter was much louder for her than anyone else.
(Hopefully no one will mind if Brid knows them already?
Luna seemed to have been affected slightly by his sudden suspicion of her, so she looked down as he looked upon her. She offered quietly, disappointed in what had transpired, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you and taken up this much of your time.", referring to the hours they had spent talking. She truly didn't want to have imposed herself on him, and now she felt as if she had.
