and the stars in their orbits shone pale through the lightof the brighter, colder moon

Nadya could see the sharpness in Frost the moment he realized her powers were on him. She hardly expected anything different. It gave her great pleasure to jab at his patience; their dance something that perhaps would never change. The corner of Nadya's lips twitched in a smug smirk, "You didn't seem to have your mind reading ability when we were in the hot tub; I figured I'd give a show and tell of my newest as well." She accepted his half acceptance of her demand to stay out of her head. Nadya knew well enough that 'for now' was going to be as good of an answer as she would get out of him.

She fell quiet once more as Frost moved from the couch to crouch down in front of the pair. With some hesitation Nadya let her arm fall away from cradling Micah's back so Frost had unhindered access to healing him. Frost's words were true, in a sense, that Nadya struggled with her feelings on where the blame lie for Micah's injury. Logically it was all, hers for leaving Tobi alone with the twins, Tobias for just taking them and not protecting them, and Frost's for his incessant stalking. "Tobias would have done something foolish eventually." She admitted with a soft tone but continued with conviction. "But you were the catalyst." In any other situation where she wasn't a part of her brother's pack or if Tobias was a fully functioning adult it would have been different. Her brother had told her to keep away from Frost and because there had been no one else knocking on her door she hadn't bothered to push Frost away. He had been the intelligent conversation, albeit sarcastic most times, that Nadya craved.

All those mixed emotions ran through the young woman as she watched the man kneeling before her run his hand over Micah leaving flawless skin in its wake. When Frost touched Micah he flinched at first, fidgeting slightly due to someone not his mother touching him during nursing, causing Nadya to caress his head and softly sing a Spanish lullaby. Izzy had finished her bottle and was now quietly watching the scene as she gnawed on a teeth ring though when Nadya started to sing she paused to break out in a wide smile. With her attention on Micah, Nadya barely registered the flinch that broke through Frost's façade. Nadya decidedly ignored Frost when he finished his handiwork and stepped away. It wasn't until she had finished the song did she gently pull Micah away and slip the strap of her dress securely back onto her shoulder, and only then return her attention back to Frost.

"Fresh air is much better. I've never had a need for a car, it's much better to walk." Nadya shrugged lightly as she grabbed Micah's outfit and began to pull the fabric piece by piece onto the child. Izzy turned her attention to Frost seeing as Nadya had ceased her singing which the small girl loved so much. "Bay bay bay." She waved the stuffed bear up at Frost for his acknowledgement as she had done so to Nadya earlier though this time in attempt to say bear. Once Nadya dressed Micah she settled him on her hip, wandering into the hall to pull out the double stroller and plopping him into it. "We'll need the cake from the fridge." Nadya returned to pluck Izzy up at the ground, eyeing Frost in expectation of him to get the cake as she placed her daughter into the other seat and then began to walk out the apartment. He was her stalker, she had no doubt he would follow.
