She dipped her head. "It was the least we could do. And we're delighted to have you around; your family brings a real spark to this place. And the children just adore Tasia."

“Aww! That’s so sweet of you to say!” Aashi grinned. “It’s been so nice getting to know you all a bit! …unfortunate circumstances…” She glanced at Ky, who looked at her irritably. Aashi glanced back at Sara. “But you’ve been a bright spot through it all!”

"Thank you!" Sara wrapped her free arm around Aashi, still smiling. "Gods, we've got so many blessings here. And now this child coming along! Have you thought about any names yet?"

(Alas I have but it’s all on my laptop lmao)

“Well we’ve ruled Raina out.” Aashi laughed a little, wrapping her arm around Sara. “We’re thinking if it’s a little girl we may keep with the I-A ending to keep it consistent with Tasia. Maybe Sophia?”

“Thanks!” Aashi grinned. “Still up in the air, of course. We’ve also talked about Natalia, Cassia, Amelia, Dahlia… lots of options. And we’ve still got to think up some boy names too.”

(Remembered I had it in a pad I could look up lol)

Sara chuckled. "Only if you want them. There are books available in the library with lots of good names--I or Ky could read them out if you like."

“Ooh! That’d be nice!” Aashi said eagerly. “Then I can see how the name is shaped, too.”

“It really is so lucky.” Aashi rubbed her belly. “Will have a head start on learning how to read, as long as the three of us can piece together enough before we leave.”

"It'll be around the time the sun goes to sleep," she mused. "Hm, that might be an issue. You shouldn't be traveling so soon after giving birth....we could send you back home early, but the whole issue with the assassins..." She turned back to look at Gaius. "I'll talk to Gaius about it and see where he's at with that."
