I was so tempted to laugh, I had to become completely absorbed in the desert, though it was still building in me. Yann felt the tremor in my belly, and he turned, “Father, are you alright?”
I chukled heartily at last, and said, sliding a mirthful look at Rae, “yes, very alright, son, very much so.”

Grinning, I focused on the newly arrived desserts. Picking up my spoon I took a bite, letting the mousse melt on my tongue.
"Oh, this is so good," I said with a soft moan.

I grinned at Rae's sound of pleasure, thinking of all the other beautiful sounds she could make, and so for that alone, I gave her another secretive grin. For a moment, there was silent indulgence at the table, only interrupted by the happy lapping of Yann. “It is sublime,” I replied, licking my lips with relish, “This calls for compliments to the chef, really,” I added with a happy smile.
Yann was completely absorbed in his dessert, eating it at an achingly slow pace. The dedication he displayed was very amusing – if he were as focused on his future studies as he was on dessert, he had promising times ahead of him.

I ate until I couldn't hold anymore, which was less than half of the dessert.
"Oh, it's going to be a sin to waste this but I can't eat anymore," I said, setting down my spoon and leaning back slightly.

“It’s no sin not to force oneself,” I replied with a grin. “Besides,” I looked at the left dessert with coveting eyes, “if it will make you feel any better, I will sacrifice myself and finish it for you.”
Yann was still laboring on his own – no doubt, he would not want more once he was done. Besides, that was more indulgence than he usually got, as sugar did make him more rambunctious, and I had no intention of letting him go over what had already been obtained.

"Thank you noble sir, for saving me from such sin," I said playfully, smiling at Siegfried.
I gathered a bite of mousse on my spoon and held the bite out for him to take.

I grinned back, “But what serving knight would I be, princess, were I not to save you?” I said very seriously, though it was all jest.
Breaking my pretense, I leaned in, and took the offered spoonful, smiling as the delightful taste filled my mouth.
The whole scene summoned a little giggle, and my glance found Yann looking at the both of us with visible amusement.
I swallowed, and added, “And what tale would ours be without a mischievous sprite?”

Shifting my grip on the spoon, I let the back of my fingers caress Siegfried's cheek.
"It would less than perfect without a sprite… or two," I replied, smiling tenderly.
Bringing my hand back, I scooted my unfinished dessert across the table to Sieg. "Here you go, valiant knight."

“The Order of Adoration of Raegan thanks you much,” I replied with a small bow as the chocolate made its way to my side of the table. “A second sprite? Hmm… where we might get a second sprite, I wonder…” I said, grinning at the thought.

"Perhaps we shall have to undertake a quest to figure that one out," I said, smiling at Sieg and chuckling.
A little groan and the clink of Yann's spoon in his empty bowl drew my attention. From the look on his face I thought he might be about to burst. "I'm done," was all he managed to say. Chuckling, I reached across and began cleaning the mousse from his face and hands while Sieg finished his dessert.

“Yes, perhaps,” I replied as I looked at her motherly actions towards Yann. Gods, gods she was beautiful in her gentle gesture of care. The lad came, and I discreetly requested the bill.

Yann all clean, and looking more satisfied than I had ever seen one that age look, I smiled and leaned back in my seat.
"This was wonderful, thank you both very much," I told them.

“It was wonderful,” I replied with a happy smile. “In every single way…”
The lass came, and I picked up the bill efficiently. I smiled at Yann, and said, “You have behaved wonderfully, Yann. I think you can have your wish, and go play, as long as Sylvie watches you.”
He grinned widely, and said, “Thank you Father,” I squeezed his shoulder lightly, and looked at Rae, “What of you, Rae, will you and I go play in the meantime?”

The girl the extra mousse boxed for us to take home and I looked down at it, pretending to check it as I fought the flush that rose to my cheeks.
"Yes, my loyal knight," I said, looking at Sieg finally and smiling. "I would like that very much."

“Perfect, Princess,” I replied with a tender smile. “I think we are about ready, yes?”
Yann lept off my thigh, and snuck under the table, clinging to Rae’s skirts, “Will you hold me please?” he asked with his irresistible smile. I chuckled, and shook my head, “I think you have ultimately seduced my son, Raegan. That’s he and I both, really.”

"Then my spell was successful," I replied with a grin as I gathered Yann up into my arms and then stood, settling him on my hip so as to be easier to carry. "Who knew I'd become so enchanted myself in the process?"

I stood as well, picking up the boxed mousse, and offered Rae my free hand. “Home, then, my bewitching beloved,” I replied with a smile full of mirth. Yann gave me a happy grin, his little head pressed into the crook of her neck, and stifled a small yawn.

"Home," I agreed with a smile, taking Sieg's hand and twining my fingers with his.

And so out we were of Desir. I couldn't help for notice the endeared smiles as we crossed out of the establishment. The carriage was waiting and ready, and I opened my arms to hold Yann in the meantime that Rae entered, letting him join her. He crawled onto her lap, and I grinned - he was so affectionate to her, it was a sight.
"Home," I told the driver, and off we were, to play our games...
