Small feet come running from the next room, the soft patter proving the individual bare footed. Neri blinks and looks up from the paper work strewn out infront of her, the gown tugged up around her knees to let her legs enjoy the coolness hitting over her shin after a long day in the heat. Even as cold as she is, she still reacted badly to the heat even as she had when she was breathing. A yawn escaping, she searches the one that entered her chamber and smiles to see a small white head where curled bounced down their back and around round cheeks. The smile on the child's face was infectious and she couldn't help but shower kisses upon their upturned face while she cups between her small cool hands. "And why are ya not in bed? Hmmmm? " She whispers softly as she sits back and slips her hands under the child's arms to lift up into her lap and cuddle close to her, running talon tipped fingers through the snowy white mane that rivals her own nearly. "Pappa said could stay up!"
Neri lifts a brow and ends up laughing. "He did did he?" A nod is given in response, the giggles coming from the child making her laugh all the more. " Well, I'm your mother and I said no." She taps her child's nose tip and smiles lovingly. " Its bed time for both of us. I have a lotta stuff to do tomorrow and you've been up all day without a nap too. Your grandpa is spoilin' you rotten." The lower lip thrusts out as they look to her and gives those huge puppy dog eyes that could make any heart melt but she's learned the game and just shakes her head with a soft laugh again. " Sorry, baby doll. Its bed time for us both. " The whimper goes on deaf ears as Neri lifts her child up into her arms and carries them to their own room, tucking snuggly into the bed and covering her precious in for the night.
"Can help momma tomowwo?" She turns the light down so that there was only a gentle glow in the room and looks over as she strokes hair from the pale brow. " Of course you can, baby doll. But only if ya promise not to draw on the blue prints. Pappa got mad the last time." She bends down to kiss her child on the forehead as a giggle erupts and gives a nod. "Pwammous, mommy."
She ends up chuckling and gives a sleepy sigh. "Nini precious." Neri gives another kiss to her offspring and gets up to leave the room even as the child's eyes begin to droop, heading for her own room to get some shut eye.
