CUT TO: THE REALM OF IHIOSADORE
INT. LOWLANDS CAVE - EARLY NIGHT
TO̅MI, SHADE, AMERETH, AND KARI FINISH EATING DINNER AND SIT AROUND THE FIRE TOGETHER.
[Kari]
Dray, I believe you may have undersold Miss Amereth's talents.
[Amereth]
Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
AMERETH BEGINS TO PUT ALL THE DISHES AND COOKING EQUIPMENT AWAY. TO̅MI SITS BESIDE KARI WITH AN AUSCULTATORY EXPRESSION WHILE KARI LEANS BACK AGAINST A ROCK WITH A RELAXING EXPRESSION.
[To̅mi]
So, Kari, have you picked any names yet?
[Kari]
Yes, I did. If it's a boy, Azi. If it's a girl, Asha.
[To̅mi]
How long have you been decided on them?
[Kari]
That's an interesting query. I'd like to say that I had always thought about what names I'd choose for my children, but Xorra's influence may have shifted that perspective a tad bit.
KARI SUDDENLY HOLDS HER STOMACH AS HER BABY IS KICKING. TO̅MI GLANCES AT KARI WITH A SLIGHTLY TROUBLED EXPRESSION.
[Kari]
Oh!
[To̅mi]
Is something the matter?
[Kari]
No, not really. The baby's just kicking. Likely jumping for joy due in part to your mother's wonderful cooking.
[Amereth]
Oh, that's much too kind. Hopefully, one day, I can have you over for dinner at our home. If you like this, you should see what I can do with a stocked kitchen.
[Kari]
I would very much like that. Oh!
KARI GLANCES AT TO̅MI WITH AN EXCITED EXPRESSION. TO̅MI LOOKS AT KARI WITH AN UNDOUBTED EXPRESSION.
[Kari]
To̅mi, would you like to feel the baby kicking?
[To̅mi]
Um, yeah! I think it'd be an honor!
TO̅MI FEELS KARI'S STOMACH AS THE BABY IS KICKING AND SMILES WITH AN ENTHUSIASTIC EXPRESSION.
[To̅mi]
Whoa, there's a little party going on in there!
[Kari]
It's the most activity I've felt in a while.
TO̅MI GLANCES AT SHADE WHO OBSERVES THE SITUATION WITH AN INNOCUOUS EXPRESSION.
[To̅mi]
Hey, Dray, check it out! She's got a little soccer player over here!
[Shade]
You don't mind do you, Kari?
[Kari]
Not at all.
SHADE FEELS KARI'S STOMACH AND SEES HOW MUCH THE BABY IS KICKING.
[Shade]
Whoa! She's got a little kung fu master in there.
[To̅mi]
That's what I was saying.
SHADE GLANCES OUT TOWARD THE ENTRANCE OF THE CAVE WITH A CONCERNED EXPRESSION.
