Politics and Weddings

The thought of Cyrus acting as a therapist was not such a strange one, to Faith's mind. For those who needed the help, truly needed it, he'd be there and would be an excellent source of support. On the other hand, he'd take no prisoners in terms of those who were just wasting time. Maybe, she considered, that was actually a really good thing. Still, Faith thought with a smile to herself, she wasn't going to be the one to suggest it to him.

The idea of a wedding in Desnind appealed to Faith enormously. Her eyes told that and, when he said that they could get wed there Faith beamed. It sounded wonderful, she loved the idea and she nodded as Kura said that it sounded more like them than something elaborate and over organised. She could only agree with their friend. Less so, though, when Kura assured them that they'd be excellent parents. She held on to Padraig's hand and she turned her attention to him. He would be an excellent father, Faith had no doubt. Her own skills, though, were sorely lacking. But then, that would always be the case.

It was the reunion between Kura and Cally, though, which caused Faith to simply step back, letting them have their time. In truth, she'd like to be able to disappear and leave the two of them to their reunion; they were outside of that, here, her and Padraig, and Cally and Kura needed that time. She put her arm around Padraig and leaned against him slightly, sitting next to him on the couch. Her face was paler than usual after doing that and she felt a little dizzy for a moment or two. Not that it mattered, it was worth it, but she leaned against him and just closed her eyes for a moment. Padraig would be worried, she did not doubt, but she squeezed his hand reassuringly. By the time that Cally turned and hugged them both, Faith was more recovered and returned the gesture. "We'll do it more than once every ten arcs, Cally. I promise you." It was a temporary solution at best, Faith knew and so she had to keep working on a permanent one.

However, Kura told them about the threat that she was fighting against, or at least preparing for, and Faith nodded. "Maybe it was Oscillus. Because if that alliance between Lisirra, Audrae, Aelig," Faith managed to sound like she wanted to spit just as she said his name, "well, if that had worked, then it's possible that the world would already be a very very different place. Or maybe it's still to come." She rubbed her temple, the manipulation of ectoplasm in that way was incredibly draining and, in her current pregnant state she was tired anyhow. "So, we need to be prepared and we need to be ready. Killing yourself by pushing yourself too hard will help no one." If there was any irony in Faith's words, she didn't know it. In truth, though, she wanted nothing more than to go home and have a sleep, but she wasn't going to do that in the middle of the trial.

Personally, if there was some sort of event coming that might change life on the face of Idalos and that he might not like, Padraig might prefer to know about it sooner rather than later. After all, if he was to look through the eyepiece of his telescope and view a giant rock hurtling towards the world, would he not decide to mention it rather than keep it to himself? He'd have said so aloud, except that the topic seemed to be a closed one for now.

As for their child, present and future, he smiled and nodded. "It appears that Faith and I are going to be busier during the next few seasons, the next arc and beyond than we'd anticipated. Happily so," he added as he reached across to take Faith's hand in his. As for Cyrus, well, some folks might be better served by another who'd be quick to remind them what troubles truly were and were not. But he knew his grandfather. Such a power might go quickly to his head and already, he took great pleasure in doing it anyway. He was doing Luna a world of good, and it was enough without spreading his talents around.

He stayed quiet and simply observed as a sort of reunion between Kura and Cally played out. It was their moment after all. Still, when Kura revealed what she'd been referencing earlier, Padraig frowned. Prophecies? Suffice to say that as a rule, he was skeptical about that sort of thing. After all, didn't the Immortal's themselves enjoy free will? The will to do, or not do something? For any given time frame, even he could predict that something might or might not happen, due to the influence and decisions of those likely to be involved.

"As a scientist, I might also be accused of skepticism when it comes to that sort of thing," he admitted. "People, even Immortals I imagine have the wherewithal to do, or not do. I tend to think that it's not necessarily prophesy that causes events to occur, but the actions of living souls to bring prophesy to reality."

Nonetheless, it hardly mattered if the business was already in play and was moving towards some sort of crescendo. Be prepared, be ready, in that case he could only agree. For now though, "Not this trial though," he said, and stood up from his chair, then offered his hand again to Faith. "You give good advice," he teased Faith, "Take it easy. Don't overdo it. It was good seeing you again Kura, and Cally. For now though I have plans to pamper my wife for the evening. Shall we?" he said, helping Faith out of her chair if necessary so they could return home together.

The dynamics between Pad and Faith - It’s just right. So much love without being sickly. He is clearly smitten and protective of her, which is just for me, the most adorable thing ever.
