"You don't have to thank me," I said with a shake of my head. "She's not a fool. I might not understand her sometimes, but she's not a fool."

“I agree – both with the not always understanding her and that she’s not a fool,” I said, chuckling.

"Someone can't be. I know I certainly am," I said, taking a sip of my fresh ale.

I looked down at my ale, no longer meeting his eyes. "I was merely saying that I am a fool."

“Ah,” I said, smiling. “As much as I came here wanting to believe that was true, I don’t think it’s so.”

I shrugged. "We say we live by Elua's precept, and yet I still harbour jealousy. I think that's foolish."

“Then I am a fool as well,” I said, chuckling before taking another sip of cider.

"Then let's hope the babe learns that particular lesson in life from his or her mother," I said with a wry smile.

"I figured you might agree," I said with a smile before I toasted to the sentiment as well, drinking the ale down.

I fiddled with my ring for a moment before asking what was on my mind. “Are you hoping it’s a boy or a girl?”

"I'd rather like a girl, one I can spoil. Though truth be told, either way the babe will be a gift," I said, and meant it.

I smiled. “I hope it’s a girl too, one that looks just like Allisande.”

I sighed, lost for a moment in images of the baby, then I smiled. “As long it’s healthy though, right? And Allisande too, that’s all that matters.”

"Exactly," I agreed. The sentiment was something I could always agree with. "To a healthy babe, and a health mother," I said, raising my glass in a toast.

I took a drink to seal the toast, then proposed after a moment's reflection, "So when it gets closer to the actual birth... do you want to go shopping for presents together? Might be the easiest way not to step on one anther's toes."

I finished my cider and set the empty mug on the table, and smiled a little wryly. “Beyond all odds, I think we are actually going to make this work, eh?”

"It's looking more and more possible," I said with a wry grin, raising my glass to him in a casual and silent toast.

I chuckled and nodded my agreement before finishing my ale. "As long as you don't start gardening," I teased.

“No worries,” I said, laughing. “I promise.”
My laughter ended in a bit of a sigh. “Though speaking of things like that I should probably be getting back to Bryony.” I held out my hand to him to shake.

"Yes, I should be getting back as well," I replied, shaking his hand firmly. I couldn't resist the further tease, and spoke with a grin. "Now that I know you're not going to steal my hobby."

I laughed as I released his hand. “And here I thought I would be the more competitive one,” I said, smiling as I stood. “Be well, Adin.”

“Until then,” I said, smiling and inclining my head slightly in respect before heading off and back to Bryony.
As I walked back home, I mused over what had just happened. This was one of those times when I was completely surprised by the outcome. The Gods must be chuckling at me for only they could have predicted that not only had I managed to get past myself and come to a civil accord with Adin, I actually liked the guy. I laughed at myself as I continued home. Wasn’t life a wonderful and filled with surprises thing?
