Finding the magical library upstairs had been enough to ruffle Zelgadiss' outward calm, enough to stir the embers of hope within his heart, that he might find something of use

If Mia didn't know better, she would think Zelgadiss was the sort having a good time reading. But she does and thinks that it might be better not to disturb him, even though it's clearly been a while since she's seen him.

Not knowing the last time he ate, however, and maternal instincts paired with her own hunger prompt her to get a plate of food for him and leave it by his wine, her magic keeping the plate warm so that his food will be hot when he chooses to eat it.

They can catch up when he desires to catch up. She'll be nearby, enjoying her own meal.

He's not the sort to let a friend pass so close without notice (or anyone pass so close without notice, for that matter. His sword is still at his side), even when caught up in reading.

If he can react to the un-heard, un-yelled yell of the annoyance/love of his life while searching though tomes, a friend passing close to him and leaving him food definitely will get his attention.

He does glance up, watching her put the plate on the end table with something that's almost a smile.

"Hey."

And Mia smiles at seeing him. It's been years, but she hasn't forgotten. She was actually just talking about him a couple of weeks ago.

"Hello, Zelgadiss. It's been a while."

Long enough for "married for half a year" to be "married nearly five years and expecting a baby in three-ish weeks" now.

"It has been," he says, nodding to her. And her obvious pregnancy. "You are well?"
