Devran chuckled.
She smiled. “I have a backseat conversationalist.”
Harwin smiled. “I have just gotten to the point where Ra doesn’t come running and put me in his lap while I chat. I had to use a really big squirt bottle to teach him that one.”
A masculine voice said, “There was no squirt bottle involved. I just like showing my son his future kingdom.”
A baby was handed to Harwin from thick golden arms. Harwin took the little one and started nursing him.
Aya tilted her head.
Harwin said, “Sorry. I just have gotten used to being a big old cow already. I don’t even think about it.”
“Not a problem. I am just surprised that your baby is gold. An entire family of first place trophies.”
Harwin laughed. “First time I have heard that... today.”
Aya shrugged. “Sorry. I haven’t caught up on the basic stuff. I skipped the basic education, but I wanted to talk to another human. He gave me your number.”
Ra’s head poked down, and she blinked at the size of him. “Hello, little daughter of Geb.”
“Hello, Lord Ra.”
“You are the one with the ration issue?”
“Yes. I have mostly recovered, thank you.”
“The repair unit worked?”
“Apparently.”
Ra chuckled. “I look forward to seeing you in person one day, Aya.”
“Why?” She was suspicious.
“Because I want to see if you can still my lust. When Harwin is around, it is a constant so that she might get a night off.”
She smiled as Harwin’s rolled her eyes.
Harwin snorted. “That’s doubtful.”
Aya nodded. “I am just along for the ride. So if Devran visits you and I am still here, I will be happy to visit and experiment on you, Ra.”
He chuckled. “You can play with the baby.”
“He might be an adult by then. I wouldn’t be able to lift him. Is he solid gold or just plated?”
Harwin chuckled. “Plated.”
“Noice.” She chuckled. “Well, any questions for me?”
Harwin grinned. “I will think of some and call you.”
“How does that work. Do I have to be here? Like a landline?”
Harwin’s eyes went wide. “How old are you?”
“Question for another time. Now...”
