"Peaceweaving by interbreeding is a classic, but I admit I have doubts about its efficacy. Perhaps I'm just bitter. And got A-levels in classics."

"It's but one tool among many," she said with a shrug. "Still, I think our two groups have managed to achieve something of a peace."

He nods, then leans over and kisses her.

Esther sighed softly against his lips, her fingers tightening around his.
"Mmm. Lovely," she murmured.

"Yes, you are. Sorry again about the being a distant git thing. It comes easier than it should."

"Don't worry about it. It isn't like I've made the best effort either," she said, finishing her glass of wine, "But you're here now. That's what matters at the moment."

"And what would you like now, Hada?"

"Well..." She ran a finger over the rim of her empty glass. "I'll be honest... I see Lilith and Ogma and their beautiful family together, and they seem so happy... I'd love to have something like that. I'm not expecting it'll be some perfect fairytale or anything, but I spent seven years without any family at all, and it's... it's just something I've wanted. A family of my own. I know it's not something that happens overnight, and, yes, I'm scared of doing something that might lead to hard choices or regrets down the road, but... A girl's got to at least give it a try, right?"

She looked down for a moment, blushing.
"Sorry. I'm babbling."

"Don't be." He touches her face. "I know exactly what you mean."

"Adam..." She said it softly. "I really do care about you. Very much. And... you're a king with no queen... I'm a queen with no king... And neither of us with much of a court or a kingdom. Simple mortals walking among gods and giants. Do you think, maybe... we could build something together? Even if it's just one day at a time?"

A pause. "Maybe we can." Another kiss, and then, when they part for air, a slight chuckle. "We can, at least, always be positive that we're not related."

She laughed.
"Very true. I hope this is the start of something beautiful."
