She didn't answer his question either; instead simply moving to accommodate his check-up. He looked at Sorana, first, as he repeated softly, Sorana. Beautiful name. Eljay checked Sorana and Teya, and as he concluded that everything had gone well, he nodded and said softly, with a small smile, You both look fine. He glanced over his shoulder briefly at Hymnal, who hovered at the entrance, and asked to Teya then, Can Hymnal come in? If you prefer, I, or — or both of us can leave you be, too. Just let us know what you need.
