Hail, Lord Xavier|Sensatiamens, Sensatia

[Kender Bard]

Luna closed the door, murmuring farewells to the person who had just departed. Tucked in the crook of her arm was a small wicker basket filled with a variety of little delicacies to nibble on.

Carrying the basket, she sought out her husband. "Xavier?" she called out, raising her voice. She was pretty sure he was in his study though he could have teleported out to attend busy. He's so busy, she thought to herself.

[Devon]

Xavier was indeed in his study, going over a few documents that came across his desk earlier. Rubbing his eyes he yawned and stretched out his arms. Upon hearing his name he stood up, took a moment to make sure he didn't look as tired as he felt and then went out to greet his wife.

"Yes Luna?" he replied.

[Kender Bard]

"This was brought to you," Luna said and held the basket out towards him. "One of the citizens who wanted to wish you well in your work and remark on your efficiency." She arched a brow. "I think this is the third gift we've gotten now. Do you suppose people are trying to hint at something with you?"

[Devon]

Xavier took the basket and set it down, taking one of the snacks inside of it and nibbling on it. "I'll have to write them a little thank you note then," Xavier replied. "Hm I don't think I know what they are trying to hint at. Do you?" he asked feigning ignorance.

[Kender Bard]

"Cute of you to pretend you don't," Luna snorted. "They're trying to curry favor with you, I think. If Thelon is gone for too long, some may suspect that he has abandoned Sensatia in a fit of cowardice, no matter what's wrong with his wife. If that happens, you're a shoe-in for an election on the next Master. People want to get on your good-side now. Besides, if Thelon does come back and the popular opinion is still against him, there may be a vote for a new election anyway."

[Devon]

Xavier sighed and leaned against the wall. Looking to Luna he smirked for a moment before furrowing his brow in thought. "I know, I know all of this, but I'm unsure of what to do about it Luna," Xavier said. "I've worked for Thelon for a long time now and I can't lie and say I've always agreed with his decisions, but I've supported him. Would I be a disloyal man if I tried, even if the people called for a vote? And aside from that I'd be busier than before and I hate not spending time with you."

[Kender Bard]

"It's not an easy thing to think about," Luna agreed. "As for loyalty..." She shrugged a little. "I think that if Thelon cannot do his job, then in a way he failed you and everyone else. And do you feel that you are the better person for the job?"

She gave a little wave of her hand. "Not that any of this matters since it's getting ahead of things, which is precisely what these gift-givers are doing. Thelon may return and everything goes back to normal."

[Devon]

"I'd probably lose my head without you, you know," Xavier said with a small smile. "As you said we'll just have to see how things are when Thelon returns. So there is no need for me to think too hard about any of this."

[Kender Bard]

"No," Luna agreed.

She did not mention that, though, it was something to quietly consider. After all, who knew what the future held.

"But let's assume that we take Thelon out of this," she said after a moment of silence. "And the election came up. Would you throw in your bid as a candidate?"

[Devon]

Xavier quietly considered the scenario Luna had presented for him. After a moment of thinking it over he nodded his head. "Yes, I would throw my bid in under those circumstances."

[Kender Bard]

She smiled a little. It was what she had expected. And she was glad; because it meant stability in the future. If someone else was made Master, who's to say they wouldn't get rid of Xavier and Dart completely? Then where would they be? What would they do?

She shunted those thoughts aside. "It's just as well that you have to work extra now," she said. "Thelon is bound to give you a pay bonus when he returns for your hard work and that might come in handy."

She smiled a secretive little smile at him.

[Devon]

Xavier looked at Luna suspiciously at the last comment and raised his brow. "Now whatever could you mean by that?" he asked. "Are you going to tell me or do I have to be a mind reader?" he asked with a grin.

[Kender Bard]

"That would be fun, especially if I made you promise not to actually read my mind," Luna laughed. She reached for his hand and guided it to her stomach. "No my love, I believe that I'll not tease you over the fact that I am pregnant again."

[Devon]

Xavier looked at his hand, as if he didn't believe what he was touching at the moment. A great smile over his face, he excitedly kissed his wife several times. "Luna, how long have you known about this?"

[Kender Bard]

"Not too long," Luna told him and threw her arms about him. "I wanted to be sure, but all the signs are there. I was thinking of going to the temple and making an offering to Efil. Would you like to join me?"

She didn't want anything to go wrong this time.
