When the large hunting party returned I was somewhat surprised by how relieved I was when Jahi walked up to me, my mind and body relaxing despite me not knowing that I had been tense this entire time.
Even with her cloak and armor being somewhat caked in grime and gore I still clung to her tightly, and after a few moments of a much needed embrace I found it impossible to not drag in a breath and tell her that I had felt something inside of me whilst she had been away.
That brief flash of jealousy in her eyes wasn't something I missed, but when it was followed up by genuine excitement and positivity I found it hard to feel anything about said jealousy, just basking in her warmth instead.
I had told Anput as well of course, and my mate had jumped around before giving me a deep kiss whilst admitting that the Sultana had told her a little while ago, though hearing it first hand was definitely far more impactful and 'real' than being told by someone else.
