[073] My Happily Ever After
[The recorder suddenly clicks on. Hmm, seems like someone's playing with her communicator. She's speaking slowly and sweetly, clearly to a child.]
-go play with Ather, sweetie? That's right, go on, your father won't mind. Demetrio, can you watch her for a while, please? Just five minutes. Please?
[A pause, followed by a sigh and someone collapsing unto a bed. Despite sounding a little tired, she seems genuinely happy. And now talking to someone else.]
Your mother was right to advise me to resign from the Dragon Brigade when we got married. I don't think I can juggle being a soldier and a duchess and a wife and a mother at the same time.
((ooc: Why yes, it's Duchess Sheifa Nox. ♥ And she'll think comments are messages from Albel's off-worlder friends, who are now her friends too, so she'll be calling you by someone else's name when she answers.))
