“Another baby! I like babies, especially ours. You know, Hi-en’s so effin’ cute with his chubby cheeks and funny little old man faces he makes that kinda reminds me of you when you’re stuck doing paperwork. And that sweet baby milk powder smell of his-!” she sighed happily at the thought of her precocious son, arms aching to cuddle the life out of the little redheaded boy.

Her gaze grew distant in thought, and a silly, giddy smile crept over her face. “I hope this one will look like you. I think I’d really want that.” Her eyes were sparkling with growing excitement, and he really did not know how she did it. Everything was an adventure waiting to be had as far as she was concerned.  [Rindou speaking to Eishi; excerpt from Peerless: Chapter 10]
