"Only tempting?  Not an extremely good idea?"  Vanyel teased  positively loving the intimacy that the two of them shared with one another.  "Aw well perhaps then I shall have to find another way to truly tempt you into our furs."<br/><br/>Van listened to Oena's reply about Lorna.  If there was one thing he truly understood about his wife it was just how loving and giving she could be.  While at the same time not making it seem as if she were trying to get into others business.  That was part of what made her such an exceptionally good shaman.  Her actual age had no effect whatsoever on the deep understanding the woman held towards understanding others needs.  "Oena my beautiful hearth mate you have the kindest and most caring heart I know of.  You will find the best ways to help Lorna.  Of this I have very little doubt."<br/><br/>Vanyel looked into Oena's eyes with a questioning expression forming on his features.  What ever his heart and soul had on her mind it must truly be very important for her to begin a conversation with him in that manner.<br/><br/>Nothing could have prepared Vanyel for the shock he felt as the subject Oena had wanted to speak to him about came out into the open.  The choice of not having children had been the most difficult decisions either of them had ever made in all the time they had known one another.  And in many ways it had always been the most painful agreement he had ever made with anyone  in his entire life.  Looking deeply into his wife's eyes seeing her body movements he could certainly see just how much thought she had put into this decision she had made.  He was so happy he couldn't even  hardly breath let alone speak.  All he could do was suddenly lean forward to wrap Oena tightly in his arms even as tears began to roll down his cheeks.  Finally he managed to gain some measure of control of his emotions long enough to say, "Yes... a hundred times over... yes that sounds like a wonderful idea!"<br/><br/>As soon as the last words were out of his mouth Vanyel stood and bent down to sweep Oena up into his arms planting a long passionate loved filled kiss on her sweet full lips.  "Come my love I think we shall need to practice over and over again until your infusion wears off.  After all baby making is some very serious business."  There was simply no way Vanyel could have hidden the deep joy and happiness he felt and burned brightly in his green eyes as he carried his beloved wife to their sleeping platform closing the privacy screen behind them.
