"She is beautiful. The most splendid baby ever born, in my completely objective judgment." This said very seriously, so he'll know she's joking. "The Elaina is for Vex's mother."

And she wants to say they'll cherish it no matter what he gives them, but ... hearing her stories isn't the same as knowing him, and she can't in honesty say it.

(It feels unfair, yet again, that she couldn't have somehow brought him home with her as well. She knows it's a childish feeling, and pushes it down unspoken.)
