@LustDevilManx He made a small noise at that. He chose not to comment any further. He was sure he was just being overprotective of Gillian.
“You could be right. I’m sorry…I’m just overthinking.”
Oliver was a restless soul. Between hardly sleeping at all and constantly being at the mercy of Ieuan's presence, and checking on Gillian and the progression of her pregnancy, he hardly found time to relax. --
@LustDevilManx “Maybe your brother should express just how beneficial hell apples can be for devils to his dear angel…at least for the sake of you living here.”
@LustDevilManx Oliver hurried back in with bunch of apples. He had taken off his shirt to carry all the apples in it.
He took one and held it out to Gillian.
@LustDevilManx Oliver went out to pick some fresh hell apples for his dear wife. He also picked enough so the three of them could join her in eating the delicious fruit. He hoped it would soothe whatever was troubling the pregnant devil
@LustDevilManx “Of course. Gem, can you stay here with your mother until I get some hell apples for her?” He held on to Gillian, giving her shoulders a gentle rub she she gripped on to him.
@LustDevilManx Oliver could feel the heat come from her body and it worried him. Was she okay? Was something happening? What exactly caused this?
"...Is this from the baby?"
@LustDevilManx Oliver wore a look of concern as he saw Gillian looked to be in much discomfort. Was the baby coming? He instantly moved to her side. "Gillian?"
@LustDevilManx "Of course, sweetness. I'm sure mommy would love to see you. She might need help with something. I'm sure your little sibling has been keeping her rooted and tired." He kissed her cheek and led her back to Gillian
@LustDevilManx "I know, I have to remind myself of that. I'd leave so much behind if I made reckless decisions. I'm sorry you have to stay here rather than be at home.'
@LustDevilManx "I wish I could tell you, Gemstone. If it were up to me, I'd bring you straight home. Its not safe. Not even for me.
I wanted to fight him, and try to banish him myself. You mother won't let me.."
@LustDevilManx He held her tightly in arms and smiled. Who knew he could help to create the best daughter in the underworld?
"I should go and check on your mother...she was a little upset earlier."
@LustDevilManx "Of course you are, Gem." He smiled at her all the same. Whether she really was the best or not, he'd never rain on her parade. "Your mother and I are proud of you everyday."
@LustDevilManx At her sudden silence, he gently ran a hand through her hair. "It's okay. You're still young, and I don't think you have an interest in those kind of things yet. You've always been about flying, and being the best at it~"
@LustDevilManx "Well...I think what your mother mean is, you and Haides are getting older now. Haides probably sees you in a different light."
He looked down at Gem. "Have you felt that way about him? Or anyone in general. It's alright if not."
@LustDevilManx "You'd make a Pride devil yet, little one. I think Haides is more about flying than Persephone is but it seems he had a lot of work to do to keep up with you~"
He smiled at Gem. She was growing up right before his eyes but she was still his little Gem.
@LustDevilManx "Of course. I'll always come back. I have to make sure you're okay, as well as your mother and your siblings." He wasn't sure how to answer her question. He'd love to stay forever. But everything was so damn risky
