I began to lead Caraf into the opening space of the palace halls. Heading in a random direction I looked around familarizing myself with the halls.

Away from most of the people, I let myself gaze around in awe a bit more.
"Have you spent a lot of time here?" I asked. "Besides formal occasions."

I thought for a moment. "Some, after Evie and I turned sixteen. It was prudent for us to spend as much time as we could knowing what the Royal court was like." I said honestly. "During the winters I would spend our whole time either coming here or staying at home. The summers we spent in Namarre, but that was only about three to four months." I shrugged as we walked coming across the hall of portraits.

My eyes went a little wide as I looked around at the portraits. "Oh, these are marvelous," I said softly.
There had been a bit of an ulterior motive to my asking Elliot to show me around. I knew there was a large chance, if not certainty, that I would be exposed to wonders such as this in the future. I hoped that I could learn to get over my wide-eyed amazement so that I didn't embarrass him should we be in the company of other people.

"Quite." I said guiding her toward the portrait of Isabel L'Envers.

I didn't have to look at the nameplate to know who this was. I studied the portrait for a moment and then glanced at Elliot, wondering at his reaction.

"She looks like Evie," I said eying her features. "Or should I say Evie looks like her."

"You knew Evangeline first, so Isabel can look like her," I said, smiling.
I leaned against Elliot slightly. "What do you think our children will look like?"

I thought for a moment. "Like her." I said walking us down the line to the portrait of Ysandre de la Courcel. "But with your nose." I continued reaching up and touching it gently.

Laughing softly, I wriggled my nose at him and then looked at the portrait.
"But what if they are all boys?" I teased.

I shook my head. "We'll have both." I said assuredly. "Two boys and two girls."

"I thought you wanted six… or eight…. Or a dozen," I said, smiling. I wanted however many Elliot wanted and Eisheth graced me with. His desire for a large family had completely infected me and I ached for children.

I turned to her pulling her against me and pressed my lips to her forehead.
"We will have as many as we want." I said softly. "Lets start with one and see where we go from there." I smiled thinking that our wedding would be soon.

My body instantly fit itself to his, pressing as close as I could.
"That sounds like a marvelous idea," I agreed, sighing happily.

I smiled still and kissed her head again.
"Have we spoken of names?" I asked curiously.

"No," I answered. "That part we haven't breeched yet." I smiled and kissed the side of his neck.

"I mean I know its still early but I think it would be a good idea." I commented.

"I'd like to name a boy and girl after my parents," I said, reaching up to stroke a lock of his hair back into place. "Do you have any preferences?"

Chuckling, I poked him in the side. "You've met my parents and you don't remember their names?" I teased.

I chuckled and shook my head. "I'm sorry my love, I think I was day dreaming a bit." I said pulling back. "Those are nice names though."

"You still haven't told me any names you'd like," I said, smiling.

I shrugged. "I'm sure I'll come across some that I like." I said pulling back slightly. "I had honestly never thought about it till now."

"Ah," I replied, with a grin. "I thought perhaps since you brought it up you had some in mind. You have time to decide since I haven't even lit my candle yet."
