Nurumaiel’s post

Pio was wild with joy. She kissed her son and daughter again and again, the joy clearly shining in her eyes. "It is hard to resist," said Peony. "When Madoc was first born Angelica had to practically hide him from me. I couldn't stop kissing him."

The work wasn't yet finished yet, Peony knew, so she said, "Angelica, bring me some water and then go down to the kitchen and get yourself a cup of tea. I'll finish up with Pio."

Angelica obeyed, but seemed a little reluctant to leave. At last she turned and, closing the door softly behind her, left.

Peony worked quickly and soon finished with Pio and the babies. She then retreated to a dark corner to leave the joyful mother with her children. She would be close by if she were needed.
