Softly she smiled as Haruki obviously was jealous of the attention his sister was getting, they were a handful and thankfully it was only the two of them while Sumi still slumbered in the den, unaware of what was happening (otherwise they would run out of mouths to shower the children with the kisses they demanded). She even playfully eyed the boy with an exasperated eye-roll as if she did in fact see what was happening over there.

While Hotaru was occupied with her father, Reiko would give what the little prince wanted, his own little shower of affection, kisses and nuzzling. It was moments like these that almost had her forget about all the troubles that seemed to pile up, at least her children were happy, and that alone made her happy herself. She knew times like these wouldn't last, more so than beyond the children growing up oh so fast already, and so, she would enjoy them as they came. 

Even Takeshi's presence wouldn't ruin this, she wouldn't let it as she bathed the boy with her tender licks and soft playful nips.
