It was more the recent incident, the fresh world crumbling pain of her child hurt, that had Nadya snipping at Frost- having already witnessed in the past his gentleness to the twins. It truly wasn't in distrust about his word but her still raw nerves. So she bit her tongue at his equally tense words of reaffirmation. Her movements had brought her down to the pairs level, catching a glimpse of that softness Frost usually kept so carefully sealed away. It made him all the more handsome, smoothing his features with a certain boyish charm before quickly masking it once more.

His sudden knowledge of Tobias being the father immediately ruffled feathers. Telling Tobi he was the father was one thing in private, among the pack, but for the rest of the world to know what another entirely. She would have happily hid that fact forever. "How did you know? Who told you?" Nadya's tone was venomous, prepared to ostracize whoever had told him. "He wears shoes." ...Sometimes- whether he keeps them on and is able to walk in them is another story. Her irritated posture remained as she stalked off and returned before having to find out she was going to have to nurse.

Although the thought of nursing in front of Frost was highly uncomfortable, it was hard to remain that way for long. The moments of nursing the twins were a calming time, soothing the children with not just satisfying their hunger but providing that feeling of physical closeness and security. Nadya's whole body eased as Micah's did, her demeanor softening incredibly as she gingerly brushed her hand over the silky hair of his head before turning her attention back to him as she requested the scissors. "It wasn't planned- Tobias and I. We had new powers which we couldn't control. His chaos one irritated and sparked my pheromone one. It was utterly confusing and difficult to deal with until I was able to find someone who taught me how to control it. I wouldn't give up Izzy and Micah for the world though." There was sadness in her tone at the last admission. She had already made the decision that the twins weren't safe staying with her, not with Tobias, not until they were old enough to protect themselves. It made her heart wrench at that thought, knowing this was not just their birthday party but also a going away last chance to have fun with them. Nadya shook her head to clear away the thought to turn her attention back on the present.

"You do get around don't you." Nadya commented lightly over Frost's tidbit of information on Alexander. It was perhaps a good thing that she didn't know who or what Alexander was. The fact that Frost was his mount would be a source of mockery for Nadya to pursue and that fact that Alex was a Hunter would have made Nadya fearful to take the twins to the café. It was his addition afterwards the caused Nadya to still with a blank stare at the white-haired man. That was how he knew about Tobias...and everything else. Nadya's gaze narrowed slightly, "Stay out of my head." She gave her own warning, knowing he couldn't be harmed by her pain infliction or manipulated from her pheromone power with his mental block, she manipulated the gravity around him to increasing significantly to press on his body. It was just enough pressure to exert discomfort before relenting, a warning of course as she could easily crush an elephant using it.

Micah's little shuddering breath of content was what drew Nadya back from her warning, soothing her irritated mood near immediately at the feeling of his warm breath on her breast. Once her mood was better and was able to have a moment to think over Frost's offer did she make her decision. Nadya reached forward to take the scissors from Frost, her hand lingering there in his before promptly snipping the stitches from Micah's side. Micah didn't seem to care about Nadya messing with his injury now that he was nursing; a method of distraction which Nadya had already been using the past few days to clean it. "Fine." She stated once the last stitch had been removed from the red and puffed looking skin, handing the scissors back to Frost. "Tobias caught your scent in here and took the twins to the forest when I was in shower. That is why the hunters found them and how Micah got the injury. If you hadn't been here, Tobias wouldn't have taken them. You should heal Micah. I don't want him to be hurting anymore or have a reminder on him because of it. Once he's good then I can dress him and we can go."
