As she stared at R'nd, waiting to see how he replied, Volfetti finally noticed the black and yellow bruising that graced the skin around his eye. Frowning she reached out without thinking, her fingers almost touching the bruises before she registered her movements. Freezing, she held her breath for a weighted moment before slowly curling her fingers into a fist and pulling her arm back to her chest. Before she had the chance to ask R'nd had spoken again.
She held back a laugh at his words, while they initially didn't sound convincing they did reveal realms of honesty. The determination in his eyes was clear to her and her own gaze softened. "I appreciate it." She said. "What happened to your face?" She asked after a few seconds, unable to keep her gaze from resting upon it. It may have only been a few days since R'nd had been hit but the bruises were still clear. If anything they were probably even more prominent than they had originally been.
On her chest Benden gave a rather big wriggle, crying out as he stared up at his mother. He strained against the sling, trying to see who she was talking too. Glancing down she laughed, even as a five day old newborn, his childhood curiosity was showing to be great. Wrapping an arm under him she reached the other to the base of her neck, inclining her head as she undid the knot to the sling. As it fell a little slack she dropped her arm to support Benden's neck, bouncing him slightly to get the fabric to loosen around him. Eventually the sling dropped to the floor, properly revealing the pudgy baby. It was clear some of it was simply baby fat, but even beneath that he was definitely large. Volfetti had her suspicions that he would grow well beyond six foot and as broad as a hut. A perfect bodyguard!
"Would you like to hold him?" Volfetti offered, holding him out slightly to R'nd. Given his flirty nature and no children ever being around them, she figured that he wouldn't know how to hold him and was ready to help teach him. "You need to make sure you support the head, because it's so big," she instructed, turning slightly to show off her arm and hand position around his head a little clearer. He gurgled in response, happy to be receiving attention.
Guessing he's never held a kid and has nfi how. xD You can write that she gives more instruction and hands him over :)
