He grinned, before grazing on her neck. "Hardly, I did say that your handmaidens could come visit the domain any time they wanted. So the only intermediary would be one of them. Besides, a handful of them have been complaining about me not staying close to protect you, so I can prove them wrong."<br/><br/>He held her close, resting his head against hers, and snorted in amusement. "Besides, I figure by the time the first third or so of the pregnancy is complete, we could shift the children to one of the holding tanks for a few days, do the ritual, and then shift them back. Would that be a good compromise? Or I could finish that armor and ring of yours I have been working on. The armor for about four years, and the ring for almost fifteen years now. Dammit, no good on the ring, that is for the wedding."<br/><br/>He grinned at her, wrapping his tails around her, before thinking of something, trying to distract her a bit. "Besides, now that both of us are the kitsune gods, we can start training the handmaidens and my eight tails together. I suspect that pairing them together is going to be... interesting."
