She'd known his concerns, even though he'd never voiced them.
Errant's never been the most open sort with his feelings, but he's never been all that good at hiding them either. Not from her anyway. After being with him for 30 years (she counts the dead years - he'd stayed faithful even then) and having seven kids with him, she's grown to know the stallion pretty damn well.
And really, she can't blame him for being worried. If she'd lost him for 12 years, only to have him brought back by some random stroke of magic, she'd be pretty worried about his health too. She'd be terrified of losing him again.
So she's said nothing, pretending to not notice the unseasonably warm weather. She appreciates the gesture anyhow - she'd experienced the Tundra winter once while bringing Ianto and Aena here, and she's not overly eager to do it again. And it'll at least make their latest child's introduction to the Tundra softer, give them more time to adjust.
As it is, the air is still much chillier than it must have been inside her womb. Little Xiah stands, falls over, and looks up with a plaintive comment about the temperature. Lea's heart melts, but before she has the chance to lie down with the girl and attempt to warm her with her body heat, the temperature rises. Errant must be outside.
She smiles, looking to the cave mouth where a dark head is now peering in at them. He joins them and peers down at their newest little girl. As he introduces himself, she leans gently into his side. This - this is perfection. This is happiness.
