Draiss spends time, visiting the rest of his companions outside his domain, learning how things are progressing, or simply enjoying their presence. Everything is quiet and peaceful.<br/><br/>The calm before the storm.<br/><br/>The next six months pass fairly uneventfully. The kitsune relations don't improve too much in the upper echelons, mostly because the handmaidens spends much of their time fussing over Ama and spare little effort for the world beyond. Despite the relatively rough pregnancy, the birth is incredibly easy; the handmaidens are, of course, upset about a male being present, even Draiss, but there's little they can do to stop him. As predicted, a pair of twins; one male, and one female.
