Desirea watched her son waddle over to inspect Szeth, and she couldn't help but smile. Her heart was already bursting with love for this little one. Glancing back up at Szeth, she could tell by the look on his face that she was not alone.
His name of choice was a little unusual, but immediately there was something about it she liked. "I like it," she answered honestly. "Little Sin Killer." She tested the words in her mouth, and found them quite comfortable.
Desirea yawned and gave her mane a little shake. She felt like a mess. Surely she looked terrible after all those hours of effort, but at the moment all she wanted was sleep. Desirea looked at Szeth with adoring eyes, half-lidded with the heavy burden of sleepiness.
"I think... I need sleep," she said with a sigh. Seeing her little one safe and well had dashed all of her fears and left her relaxed and sleepy. For a moment she was struck by an unusual sense of vulnerability and humility, and she blinked at Szeth from beneath her lashes. "Thank you for being here," she said softly.
