"No no." Demitra answered.

"Julien, I need to talk to you though." She then said.

"When you get a chance, I'm going to go and relax in the pond. Please come find me."

Racquel, meanwhile, was silent before smirking softly. She had an idea as to what was going on.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Racquel nodded as she accepted the basket.

"You go do that." She said simply.

"I have my suspicions as to what it is." She added. "And if I'm right, I don't think it's a problem."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

When Julien found her, he saw her in the middle of stripping, intending to bathe in the water. She looked over as he called her name and chuckled lightly.

"Care to join me?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Again?" She added, knowing that it was a common thing for them.

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

"This pond usually is." Demitra commented with a light chuckle.

"Have you ever thought about kids?" She then asked after a moment or two.

"I ask because one of the hunters at Lux recently had to stop back because of a baby on the way." She added

"And it got me curious."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Demitra was silent as he said what he did before letting out a bit of a breath of relief.

"Good." She said simply.

"Because it's me." She continued.

"Julien, you're going to be a father."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Demitra just laughed lightly.

"Yep. " She said with a nod.

"No idea how they'll be - as it's extremely rare for it to be anything other than twins - but, should be.. interesting, at the very least." She then said with a sigh.

"You sure you're up for the challenge?"

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Demi just laughed lightly.

"Good to know." She said simply.

"Mom will surely help, as she's been hoping for me to have a child for a bit now." She then said. "Something about wanting to have kids running around again... or something."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

"I wouldn't be surprised if she already knows." Demitra commented.

"She's... sometimes I swear she might be psychic." She added. "But at the same time, I know she's not. Sometimes how she knows things is freaky."

".... probably a potion she did up or something told her."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

Demitra paused.

"I'm not entirely sure, if I'm being honest." She admitted.

"Where we are now is a good size, but she might want to move depending on what's going on with my aunt, and possibly if anything comes to light regarding this place. If we find out it's not a good place to raise children, for example." She continued.

"However, I'm going to be looking around, regardless."

♫You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown. | You thirst for blood from the roses in hand.♫

"You and me both, Julien. " Demitra admitted.

"It's going to be interesting, I suppose. I really have no idea what else to say about it." She added after a moment or two.

-----

Demitra was gone on a hunt, and Rocky was in the forest, collecting some berries and other greens for the household. Julien was inside, cleaning up things, while his and Demitra's twin girls were out in the backyard playing around.

All was quiet - barring the odd childish and playful scream or cry from the girls - before it fell even more silent. Mere seconds later, he heard a shriek before the door opened and some frantic little steps were approached.

"Daddy!!" She cried, fear and concern to her voice.
