"Really? You'd do that for my boys? I'll be sure to let them know." Ojassa smiled, happy to just have an option available for her boys. Even if Jasandian never talked to him she was reasonably sure that her oldest would probably want to chat with K'tir at least a little bit. Hopefully if Jas did end up talking to him he wouldn't be a pest and only ask about his blindness.
There was one thing she was hesitant about though. "If they do end up going to you with questions... I would just ask to be informed. I don't need details if they aren't anything important or anything that won't get them hurt, but just knowing they're talking to you about something would make me worry a bit less, and help me at least exhibit a bit more confidence in them. I know they require their privacy and a bit of their own agency to encourage independence and growth, but I don't think I'll ever stop fretting about them at least a little."
Ojassa raised an eyebrow in surprise when K'tir finally answered her original question. "Oh, really?" She had been fully expecting to just playfully sigh and suggest they go have a bit of fun anyway, and depending on the mood when they'd finished, maybe she'd just forget to remind him to take her on that ride between afterwards. To hear him, even hesitantly, say that they could give it another try made her pause a moment herself as she thought through her plans again.
"Of course I'd let you have time with your child on occasion." Likely there would be more opportunities than that, but she didn't want to accidentally spin an idealistic yarn for the man since she couldn't predict the future. There was a chance that she'd hate everything about his parenting style or he'd hate everything about hers, but she would just have to see how things went. "Children are delightful little mysteries full of potential, so we'll just have to see how things go."
With a smile she got up, moving around to gently take his hands and help him up before she grabbed her ledgers and notebook. "So let's see how things go and have a bit of fun while we try to get there in the first place. Your weyr or mine?"
