Secret of the future:
After 40 hours Klaus and Lady Taliyah jointly decided to stop breast feeding Vincent with some help from Dr. Estevez. Lady Taliyah pumped enough breast drink to relieve her swollen state. She was happy to be back to her old bust size after drying up.
"I am so glad to be wearing my old corset dresses again," Lady Taliyah took up her old seat on the corner of her husband's desk, "Remember this?"
She wore a Sweetheart Neck, Flounce Sleeve, Lace Up Corset Dress in Klaus's favorite color. Corset attachment came in Klaus' favorite flora pattern with matching ribbon flats. Her hair up in a simple curled ponytail with a bowed barrette that stuck out quite clearly.
"You look so much better," Klaus loved seeing her smile again, "I've missed you smile."
Away from the computer screen he turned to reach out with his hand toward one of hers. Their fingers weaving together with him taking advantage of the connection. Where he drew her off the edge of his desk and toward his arms. Where he welcomed her into his lap with everyone watching. A few minutes were given for her to adjust for comfort sake.
"You wore that last Easter when we had my brother and his family over," Klaus whispered, "You're still as beautiful."
A quiet fills the air that usually was when Zapp agreed with a crude remark or inappropriate comment. Maybe a suggestion about helping the chief out by being an extra set of hands. Followed by a filling the air with the foul smelling smoke from his cigar. Never came with Lady Taliyah looking away from Klaus to see the problem.
"Oh my," She noticed, "Leo. What happened?"
Down went the camera also was used to capture Tayla, restrain and bind Zapp. Then handing him off to Chain when she couldn't take his endless cursing.
"Thought you needed a sidling free moment," Tayla got up from her seat, "Riesgraf also wanted me to keep an eye."
She made sure her ribbons were tightly knotted into perfectly formed bows and secure. Not wanting him to get loose and ambush Klaus when he was having a moment. Before leaving him to lay on the floor like a wiggling larvae. That Chain started to torture when she handed the reins.
"My my," Gilbert was impressed with Tayla, "Reminds me of you two at that age."
"Before or after the Blood Breed?" Lady Taliyah reminds Gilbert.
"Both," Gilbert put down the serving tray, "You two were able to rekindle your relationship to engagement to a marriage. Now another little one among two you already have."
"An accomplishment," Klaus replied, "I am quite pleased with."
Leo ended up capturing that moment on film with his camera among many others he would have developed. While he shared with Riesgraf when he was sorting what was sent off. In his newest letter to his sister in the form of a tape,he just recorded.
"Zapp actually asked Stephen about job sensitive training for Tayla?" Riesgraf asked.
"Yea," Leo showed a cocoon photo, "Didn't like how she tied him up with much remorse."
"Dad agreed?" Riesgraf wondered.
"He suggested Zapp instead." Leo told him.
"Really?" Riesgraf didn't believe it.
Heading it wasn't his mother using the threat but his father with Stephen backing him up. Become a new one for him as he placed his healed side. He smiled in a crooked way, excusing himself from Leo, ending some air. Reinhalt chased after him from his doggy bed beside Lady Taliyah's arm chair. Whining when he watched his master pull a sweater off the coat rack. He was patted on the head and then signaled to stay with Leo.
"Your parents aren't going to be happy about me informing them where you're going?" Miss. Mikayla warned Riesgraf.
"Right now," He pulled on a pair of gloves, "I rather face my father's anger for what I am about to do. Then be grounded by my mom for what the maid told her."
"You are truly your father's son," Miss. Mikayla stood in place, "Good luck."
Leo ran after Riesgraf with Miss. Mikayla promised to mail his letter to his sister for him. Since she ended up giving the two a head start before going to his parents. Recalling her own child when she turned on her heel.
8*8
-After Six Period-
Edmund tried to boast happily about the way Riesgraf led the safety of his parents home. To forcefully get the contact information for Zapp's and Zed's master. Seek out the Blood Battle God for personal reasons that Lady Taliyah didn't understand.
"She hasn't moved from that window," Klaus was bothered by his brother, "She does understand he isn't her baby any more."
"Her parenting style isn't like our mothers." Klaus reminded him.
"Spartan when we learned Brain Grid Blood Battle Style while the rest was authoritarian." Edmund tipped his tea picture of their mother.
Klaus could only sigh when he was unable to pick up his tea cup or touch a mini cake. Getting up from his seat when he tried to figure out what he was going to say to his wife. To only watch Tayla enter the space that his wife occupied before he could move.
"Vater still can't believe we have gem like that," Edmund pointed toward Tayla, "Your son has taste."
"Ja." Klaus watched his wife and son's girlfriend.
Tears disappeared from Lady Taliyah's face when she was presented with a box of letters from her son. Tayla spoke of how he's been writing to her since he left home to re- train his skills. Smile that formed about being allowed to read the months' worth of writing. Cheered her up and gave Klaus a sense of relief about his son's health.
"Don't worry," Edmund pocketed one of his hands, "Only interest I have in welcoming her into our family."
"Don't go spoiling her like you do with LeClaire," Klaus requested, "You always go overboard with her."
"She's going to be only female," Edmund reminded Klaus, "Born in to this generation of Von Reinherz."
Klaus would have gone on about the decision Lady Taliyah and he made about their children. If he wasn't asked to come join her near the window to read their son's letters. Which he granted when Tayla stepped away to give quiet a quiet few hours together. Putting her within range of Edmund when she stopped walking.
"What do you feel about underground fight clubs and illegal eateries?" He asked her.
"Tried roasted ornate ground snake once," She stuck out her tongue, "Yuck."
"Got plans since my nephew isn't around to entertain you and Leo is working." He offered.
"Any strings?" She asked.
"I am just looking for company," He shrugged, "On nights I need to let loose."
"Does Anaxagorou's illness keep him from going out?" She asked.
This was where Edmund heavily sighed when he grew quiet on the private subject. Anaxagorou was always one for the wild nights that Edmund took him on. Him not having her energy anymore was a drawing concern of his.
"Tears of a phoenix," Edmund tighten his fists, "One of the rare healing items I have been looking for."
"You can have mine?" Tayla offered.
"…" Edmund stared at her.
"Birthday gift from my godfather on my mom's side," She reached into the pocket of her skirt, "Here."
Into his hand she placed a small vial of pure tears for a phoenix with a magical seal. Going on how she has no use of it after coming to live with Klaus and work in Libra. Giving them to someone that needs them was a better idea.
