"So what do you think about it, Eva?" Aikka inquisitively poses to his wife.

He wanted to hear her opinion on the situation once they entered inside of their private quaters.

"We can't leave the newborn alone with the kids. They can barely keep up with each other so that's definitely out of question." Eva reminds him of the incident a couple of years back with their two children.

"You're right but we at least need to have a racer represent Noursaia. Not only that, but not that many people race here." Thr orange haired male informs her as a reminder to his wife of where they were.

"What about Natalie? Does she know how to race?" She questions her husband about Natalie and her abilities as a racer.

"...but she can't exactly leave her post for a silly race." The young man chimes in as he paces the floor.

The raven haired woman with crimson tips manages to sit down on the bed with little to no problem at all.

"It's up to you. I would love to see the race but I can't participate."

"I'm not jeopardizing the safety of our child for a race, I'm more sensible than that." His wife divulges while she gently rubs her round stomach to soothe the restless baby's movements.

"And I don't want to race either because of you and the twins safety, but it would be nice to go with Natalie though." The king remarks after he changes from his royal attire to some sleeping pants.

"Yeah, it could be something like a family vacation if you think about it." Eva was expressing her hope before turning her head to see her hubsand toned abs and body.

She was swiftly covering her nose with her right hand to stop the nosebleeding from showing.

"Is that blood?" Aikka worriedly asked when she just shook her head in a 'no' fashion unaware that some of the red liquid coated the furniture in the room.

"I'll clean that up later. Tilt your head slightly forward and I will clean your nose." He instructs her before she listens to the door open and close.

'I got to think of something not hot.' She mentally reckons to herself.

The young woman hastily racks her brain before she imagines, 'dead cats, an old lady's body, really cold water...'

The list continued on until the blood ceased to drip from her nose.

"It looks like you stopped." The raven haired woman with crimson tips overhears Aikka's claim once he comes back to the room with a First-Aid kit in his hand.

"I probably got overheated...that's all." The pregnant lady assumes while she observes her husband open up the kit.

The Noursaian was promptly cleaning away the blood before handing her some gauzes. Her crimson eyes observed in quiet silence as Aikka took care of her.

Once her husband completed his clean up, he returned the kit back and laid down in their bed with his wife now in his arms.

"So Natalie is going to be our representative for the Oban Star Races?" The younger man asks for clarification on whether or not Natalie was their final decision.

"Yep. Did you notice that Jordan was interested in our Natalie?" Eva needles once she shifts her position in order to get closer to her lover's warmth.

"What are you getting at Eva?" Aikka queried but was instead answered with light snores.

A smile merely adorned his face right before his eye lids drowsingly fell shut.

Don Wei purposefully strolled around his company's compound while he reminisced about the races that took place over his years as a coach.

It was pretty unusal to catch the old man with a dazed expression on his face whenever he would walk about the compound.

His workers knew to stay clear of him whenever he was lost in that moment because he could still easily fire whoever disturb him while in deep thoughts.

Remembering during an evacuation emergency, he was in the same exact state. When a worker snapped him out of his revere, he had a few choice words to say before he fired the guy. So everyone learned to back away during that time.

"Koji, Stan, how's it coming with the new project?" He was inquiring in a monotone to the mechanics, who were busy tinkering away with their latest project.

Don Wei guessed it was the newest engine from the items that was recently placed on the packing order.

"It's going good. We should be finished so Eva can take it out for a spin." Stan reports their progress when he places the monkeywrench down on the table and faces his boss.

"By the way, where is Eva?" He asks the pair since she did not bother them at work, which was unusual.

She would have either been helping or tinkering or adjusting with something causing her to be kicked out on her butt.

"No, we haven't seen her at all today. She's probably on that fixed scooter riding around the countryside." Koji assumes before he punches in something on the board.

"If you see her please tell her that I need to speak with her as soon as possible. It is very important." The salt-pepper haired male simply said.

"Yes sir, we will tell her." Stan replies before he picks back up the monkeywrench and works on the engine.

Don Wei just turned on his heels, headed out of Station #5, and walked back to his headquaters.

'I have a bad feeling about today.' was all he thought before he quickly submerged himself in his work.

Aikka was waking to the sound of birds cheerfully chriping outside while one of the sun's radiant beams was hitting him and his sleeping wife in their quaters.

He gently removes his arm from underneath her neck so he would not disturb her in her peaceful slumber.

After stretching out his sore muscles, there was a sudden sharp thightening in his thigh, which could only mean one thing...he was catching a cramp. And boy was it a painful one too.

The orange haired make tried his hardest to make as little noise as possible but the cramp ultimately disagreed with his thought process.

In the end, he woke his wife and requested her to massage his leg for him.

"It's a little too early in the morning for a massage, sweetie." Eva asserts to her husband while she stretches and uses one of her hands to rub the sleep out of her eyes.

"I..caught...an...ouch...a cramp." The Noursaian manages to tell her through the pain.

An expression of realization dawns on her before she roughly grabs his leg and massages it until the cramp was out.

"That's why you woke me up?" She poses in a cranky tone.

The woman eventually stands up with a little wobble before she catches her balance.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to but that cramp was painful. Besides, you were the only one who could get it out." Aikka apologizes to his wife with a small smile while she still rubs his thigh.

The raven haired with crimson tips thought that what he just told her was kinda of romantic but weird at the same time.

"Since we're already up, let's go for a walk. The castle feels stuffy today." Eva suggests to him while she slips her feet in some slippers.

She then places a white tunic on her upper torso and steps in a long black ruffle skirt. Aikka just wore a simple pair of brown pants and a white shirt.

"What about the twins?" His wife asked in a worried tone since she knew how their children where whenever they were not around to montior their behavior.

"They can sleep in some more. They're probaly still excited about the Avatar's visit and the races." The young man replies before he opens up the door for his wife to walk out of the room.
