He nodded. “That’d be nice….” he said, closing his eyes. He cradled her gently in his hands the same way he always did.

This, this was nice. The trinket relaxed more an more as Simon held her. She would be okay. She only wished she could say the same of Simon.
I… I've never told you my name, have I? she asked.

He shook his head. “I didn’t want to ask before since Astral didn’t know we were talking and I didn’t want to accidentally use your name around him.”

That would have made sense… But we don't have to worry about that anymore, right? He knows now. Despite how much she hated it, it wouldn't change. She knew it out hey in danger now, with house much Simon showed he cared about her, but it was okay.

“Yeah…I’m still really sorry that happened by the way…” he did feel bad about it, knowing he’d put her at risk with his carelessness.

It couldn't be helped. Neither of us knew he was listening. Besides… You're actions did save me, in the end. The trinket let out a soft breath. Here, it was always a matter of time before you were broken too much, and just used for scrap parts.

“I’m glad I did..I kind of freaked out honestly, otherwise I don’t think I ever would have approached Astral like that.”

Yeah… Thank you, for caring. The trinket let out a soft sigh. It was more than she'd had in a long time.

“So what is your name?” He asked excitedly, eager to know. “Ya know, you’re like…one of my first friends.”

The trinket blinked to herself in surprise.
Mia, she said softly. And… You're one of my first too. She smiled on the inside, the only place she could.

“Mia..” he smiled. “That’s really pretty. Well Mia it’s very nice to meet you. And I guess technically you’re my first friend. Nobody else could see my other first friend…so I guess he wasn’t actually real.”

_{((in reality it was a demon that he accidentally summoned when he was like…eight))}

_{(oh shoot that's actually pretty cool (possible future plot point..?))}

Really? Mia knew she was grinning to herself. Well, I'm glad I'm your friend! You are a really nice person. He didn't deserve any of this.

_{((oh yeah most definitely ;) ))}

“I’m glad you’re my friend too.” He blushed pleasantly at the compliment. “Thank you..no one really says that about me.”

Which is a shame, that no one sees it. Mia was warm, an settled in Simon's hands contently. She was glad Simon seemed to have recovered from the night before, even if he thought it was only a dream.

Since he’d been enjoying talking with her so much, he’d pretty much completely forgotten about the dream. And his body had no memory of how much he’d screamed and cried the whole night. “T-thank you..” He smiled.

You're welcome. Mia was content, staying like this with Simon. But Astral had different plans. He knocked on the door, humming a bit to himself. He was in a genuinely good mood at the moment- his plan had worked, and he would be the first god to have a biological, demigod child.

_{((on a scale of 1 to 10 how mad would Astral be if Simon somehow got rid of the child))}

“C-come in.” He said, a bit surprised since he just hadn’t heard Astral approaching. But then again, he hadn’t been paying much attention.

_{((another question…..did Astral remember to heal his arm where Simon scratched him?))}

_{(hmmmmmmmm on that scale it's Ensuring Simon will Suffer A Thousand Deaths and Proceed To Continue R-ping Him Until He Finally Has A Child)}

Astral opened the door, smiling some.
"Good morning!" Astral said. He genuinely looked Simon now- the man would have his child, and he knew even after they were born he would give Simon many special privileges. Mia wasn't used to seeing Astral this chipper, ever.

_{(ye but they're like, scars now cause self healing isn't as complete)}

_{((hmmmm f for Simon then ig. He won’t trust Astral to actually take care of le child.))}

((Sooooo knowing that should Simon notice? He still remembers scratching someone in his dream and he might figure things out.))

_{(Astral would be surprised good at it, actually. He'd genuinely care for the kid which is a very good thing for them)}

(he might notice them, but Astral would definitely write it off that he always had them and make it clear with his tone Simon was getting too close to becoming breeding stock for Astral.)

_{((good for him then lol))}

((Yikes well okay then))

“U-um..good morning?” Even though Astral had been treating him well this entire time, even he’d never seen the man this happy or excited.

Astral came over to sit on the side of the bed, have folded in his lap.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked. He smiled sweetly. Mia was completely confused- he was too happy, too sweet. Something had happened that he really, truly enjoyed.

He hesitated before shaking his head. “Not really no..” he felt nervous around Astral now, though he truly had no idea as to why. He noticed the scratches on Astral’s arm but didn’t say anything. ‘Those could have been from anything Simon, stop being so paranoid.’

"Oh, I'm sorry about that." No he wasn't, but he didn't let it show. Still, he was still holding this morning. Nine months, none months and he would have his own child. He'd get to see just why they weren't allowed to have them.

He shrugged. “It’s okay, not like it’s your fault or anything.” He offered a weak smile up at the other. “You seem to be in a good mood at least.” He commented, laughing softly.

Astral laughed just a bit.
"Yes, I am. It must seem rude, with the answer you have to my question." Astral let out a soft sigh.

“Oh, don’t worry about that. I wouldn’t want to ruin your good mood with just a stupid nightmare anyway.” His smile widened a bit. It did make him feel a bit better, seeing the other so happy.

Astral liked it when Simon smiled. Good, he didn't suspect a thing.
"Mm, okay! You feeling hungry?"

“A little.” He said, just to please Astral. He knew he probably wouldn’t end up eating that much this morning.

Astral nodded a bit. He figured Simon want, after the 'nightmare,' but he was more than happy to ignore that. He grinned at Simon, standing and offering his hand.
