”Hot springs? Explains why you were gone for so long.” Vai chuckles to him, the witch letting him go enough to hold him at arm’s length, but she’s similarly reluctant to release him entirely. Raising her eyebrows, she doesn’t deny that the sound of a date - of a break - is incredible. And she imagines that Zeph would thoroughly enjoy a hot spring. (She has no idea how much he would enjoy the Tundra, but that’s something they can find out for themselves).
Nudging Remi, she raises her eyebrows and offers him a crooked grin. ”He’s very well,” she says, ”and still younger than I am, so watch your language.” Hugging him close again, just for a second, she tries to guide them over to the cupboards so she can get some tea out of the ice box. It has been difficult to maintain since Sugar left with the boys but Vai finds a way. She always does. ”How’s young Ronin?”
