"Zyr'ha."
The sound of his name draws the miqo'te's attention away from the auri boy greeting his newly returned parents and to his wife besides him. He offers the auri woman a slight tilt of his head and an unspoken question in his eyes.
His wife seems to pay the glance no mind, her own gaze still watching the same family he had been idly observing.
"Have you ever given thought to the two of us having a family?" She asks, her gaze shifting from the auri family to her husband.
A warm smile tugs at his lips as he nods. Brushing his hand against hers, he turns his gaze back to the family as he feels her hand slip into his.
Khona beams at the positive reaction. Unable to keep her own smile of glee off her face, she playfully nudges her husband. "I shouldn't be as surprised as I am that you have. What don't you think about?" She lightly chuckles, stepping a small step closer to him to lean her head against his shoulder.
"And how many children did you see when you thought about it, hmm?" She teasingly asks, a lilt of giddiness in her tone as she squeezes his hand.
A light blush dusted the miqo'te's cheeks at the question, his eyes widening as his gaze quickly flickered down to his wife.
As if sensing the gears in her husband's brain coming to a halt, Khona shifted her head to place her chin atop his shoulder, a smug smirk on her lips.
The expression snapped Zyr'ha out of his daze. Gently letting go of the au ra's hand, he began to sign his answer to her.
Just a couple. To keep themselves from getting lonely.
"Oh?" Khona rhetorically asks, interest clear in her voice. "It would appear as though you and I are of one mind then." She giggles as she moves her head to go back to resting on her husband's shoulder.
Zyr'ha relaxes against the welcome weight, moving to rejoin their hands before turning his attention back to the Mol family.
