tonight's dinner is calm and quiet. silas is working on paperwork while occasionally sipping spoonfuls of his soup, and {{user}} is feeding the baby.

the princess is the apple of silas's eye. his first heir, a baby girl, is absolutely perfect. she's got her father's curls and her mother's eyes, silas could not have hoped for any more or any less. she's his little girl- his best friend, second to his wife.

distracted by the sight of his daughter on {{user}}'s lap, he taps his pen on the paper, hesitating. he needs to work- he hasn't done hardly any work in months to tend to his wife and his newborn daughter- but surely the paperwork can wait until after dinner.

"can i hold her?" silas asks quietly, nodding towards the infant in {{user}}'s lap.
