Mia was at their bedroom door when he asked.

"Oh yes. I'd like some pickled Salyan cactus if we've got any."

She then steps over to the nursery to check in on Cepheus. The toddler is half-awake from the noise of his parents moving around. He rubs sleepily at his eyes and yawns.

"We didn't wake you, did we baby?" she softly says.

"Mama?" he asks.

Mia responds by picking him up and rubbing his back, gently coaxing him back to sleep as he sucks his thumb.
