Age: Yesterday.
Physical Description: Edward Laurént stands at 5'10. He has midlength black hair, and a clean shaven face. Previously his facial features were hard to remember, since he has begun wearing glasses they have become easier to recall. He looks to be in his late twenties, with a strong jaw, mid set cheek bones, straight narrow nose, and full lips. He appears to be in decent physical condition, though he is a bit pale.
Edwards eyes are an odd shade of blue, and they quite literally glow. With his glasses on, the glowing is the only remarkable thing about them. When you stare into his eyes when his glasses off though... it can be an odd experience. Staring into his eyes gives the impression that time has ceased to flow. Then you become aware of just how fast you are moving through the void of space. Most students avoid looking into his eyes.

Clothes and Equipment: Previously Edward only owned one suit of clothing. He retains these clothes, as a sort of work uniform. His style of dress when working is odd. He wears: sturdy blue cotton pants, an over sized coat of some unknown material, a sweater with a hood sewn onto it, and a large scarf. Each piece of clothing fluctuates in state of repair, and cleanliness through the day. If these clothes were not so eccentric, he could easily be considered a beggar while wearing them.
Edward has begun to expand his wardrobe in recent months. His first new accessory is a pair of glasses. Unlike other time mages, Edward struggled with turning off his time sight, rather than turning it on. His glasses are enchanted to suppress it. When not working he tends to wear casual clothing. Loose white shirts, and simple leather leggings. He also has a handful of stylish, if simple mage robes for special occasions.

"Indeed little dragon, but once she is big enough she can do all that."
Grinning Edward takes Gavin and Paulie into the study for some play time. There they would remain until dinner was ready. Once it was he would take his son to get washed up before coming to the dinning room.

"Paulie! Let's plan some things we're gonna do for her when she's old enough!" Gavin scampered into the study with his massive playmate. Paulie had grown quite a bit since we was a puppy. Poor Gavin only a couple of inches.
They would play in the study until dinner was ready.

Reuna Laurént

Roleplay posts: 361 
Age: 51
Physical Description: Reuna is a striking study in contrasts. She is just slightly above female average, height-wise, standing at 5'8", and is slender, with a fragile bone structure that makes her look weak; this is, of course, balanced out by her strength and skill in magic. Her hair is long, descending to her waist, and is purely black, which is a sharp opposition to her pale-skinned features. Her eyes are the color of amethyst, dark and intense, and are usually the only method from which one can derive her mood, as she very rarely displays her emotions via facial expressions. She appears young, in her mid-thirties, although if one looks closely enough, they can see the beginnings of fine lines around her eyes and mouth. Although few have ever seen them, due to her tendency to keep herself fully covered from neck to toes, she has whip-mark scars covering most of her back, and scars from long periods spent in manacles around both of her wrists, remnants from her days as a slave.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Reuna wears one of five sets of identical robes, with high collars and long slightly-loose sleeves, in black, dark grey, purple, dark green, and dark blue. Commonly-carried equipment consists of her personal grimoire, a traveling writing kit (with ink well, quills, and writing desk), and a belt with pouches that contain various items (both magical and non); though perhaps not considered equipment, her raven companion Karrik always accompanies her.

Reuna chuckled as Gavin and Paulie ran off to play with Edward's supervision, and she blew her beloved a kiss as she turned back to cooking. It wasn't long before she had dinner made, rotini pasta with a rich marinara sauce, garlic bread, and a fresh garden salad. Once she had everything set out on the table, she then put a bowl with Paulie's dinner, of cut green beans and squares of beef in gravy, on the floor. Then she called out to the boys as she pressed her hands to her lower back.
"Edward, Gavin, Paulie - dinner!"

Edward grins. The second the word dinner leaves her mouth Paulie is off like a shot. The great hound had two great loves, Gavin and food. Scooping up his son Edward carried him to the bath room to wash his hands. This was important after playing with Paulie. The dog was mostly clean, but there was enough dirt on him to be unsanitary. After that he settled Gavin in his chair and settled in for his own dinner.

Reuna settled into her chair after her husband and his son arrived, and was just about to dig into her food. Then that question came out of Gavin's mouth, and Reuna's brows shot up. She grabbed a piece of garlic bread and took a hearty bite, giving Edward a look that said, 'I am not answering that. This is on you.' She may have veritably adopted the boy, but she was so very much not up to answering how, precisely, the child's father had managed to put a baby in her belly. Nope. Not happening.

Edward chokes on the piece of garlic bread he was chewing. Looking desperately at Reu he see the look. Well he should have seen this question coming even without time sight. Shame he hadn't. Taking a drink of wine to clear his throat he wonders how to handle this. Well he was a teacher it was time to teach.
"Well Gavin..."
What followed was a very detailed explanation on how the reproductive process worked. It was extremely clinical and thorough.

Gavin looked at his father, wide eyed.
"Wait, so the... speeeermaaatozoa... live in the... seeeemiiiiniferous tubules... then they go into the... seeminal vessiclesss..." Poor Gavin had a headache, but he was determined to recite his father's explanation, no matter how complex and gross it was. "... so then the blaaastooocyst's stem cells start to... difffeeerentiate... into the various organs..."
Finally Gavin gave up.
"Mommy, is it ok if I just believe that babies come from a magic stork until I'm eight years old?" He was serious.

Reuna was having a very hard time not bursting into laughter at Edward's explanation - despite this, she didn't stop eating. She was doing so for two, after all, and mirth aside, she was ravenous. She had a feeling Gavin was too young to understand his father's very technical description, however, and she was proven right. Stifling a chuckle, she turned to Gavin and smiled. "You can believe that for however long you like, little prince." She glanced at Edward and smirked as she stuffed another forkful of pasta in her mouth, giving him a look that told him he really should've simplified it.

Edward blinks in surprise. He hadn't expected his response to actually work. Apparently overwhelming your child with information was a good way to get them to drop it. Digging into dinner he gives Reu a private smile. After things are done he walks over to her side and whispers something in her ear, definitly quiet enough so Gavin couldn't hear.
"Should I give you a private demonstration tonight?"

Gavin eventually got through his dinner and dessert, all the while trying not to think about the horror that was the sloughing off of the endometrial layer.
"I'm gonna go play with Karrik and Paulie." He said as he washed his hands. Paulie heard his name being called, and the large beast fetched his wooden sword. Meanwhile Karrik would fly onto Gavin's shoulder.
As they left for the yard, Reuna and Echoes might overhear him whisper to Paulie, "Paulie, do you know where babies come from?"

<Three months later>
Their appearance in the birthing room - which had once been Edward's suite, before they started sharing the room at the top of the tower - was a great relief to Reuna. She pulled away from Edward and began to make her way toward the magically sterilized and sanitized area where she would actually be giving birth, shedding her dress as she went. "Good. Good. This is.. good. Now the midwife, if you please. And then Gavin." This was so backwards. Shouldn't she be the one panicking and babbling? Instead, she was soothing her husband, who'd already had two children before. There was something very wrong with this picture. Down to her knee-length shift, she settled in a padded chair and just tried to focus on breathing evenly.

Edward pops out of existence and nearly immediately after he reappears with Gavin in tow.
"Wait no, I got the order wrong."
He vanishes once again and the next it appears it is with the midwife. The older matronly woman blinks looks around and say puzzled and a bit panicked.
"Mr. Laurént? Mrs. Laurént? What? Was I just in the Palace? What is going on? What just happened?"
Edward flails his arms at her then at Reu. He says in a tone of voice that wants to be calm, but is failing.
"She is in labor! I got confused I took you to the babysitter first, but now you are in the right place!"

Reuna barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at Edward when he reappeared - with Gavin rather than the midwife. When he returned mere heartbeats later with the midwife, she breathed an audible sigh of relief and looked pleadingly at the woman. Knowing that look, the older woman turned and flicked her hands at Edward in a shooing motion.
"Now now, Mister Laurént, I know you're worried about your wife and babe, but this is no place for a man! So shoo! Out with you!" Reu watched him go, calling out before the midwife could bustle him out of the room.
"I love you, Edward, just try to keep calm owowow mother of--" Then he was shoved out, and she closed the door, then turned her attention to Reuna. This could be a very long and arduous process, and she didn't need an anxious husband pacing back and forth or looking over her shoulder. That simply wouldn't do!

Age: Yesterday.
Physical Description: Edward Laurént stands at 5'10. He has midlength black hair, and a clean shaven face. Previously his facial features were hard to remember, since he has begun wearing glasses they have become easier to recall. He looks to be in his late twenties, with a strong jaw, mid set cheek bones, straight narrow nose, and full lips. He appears to be in decent physical condition, though he is a bit pale.
Edwards eyes are an odd shade of blue, and they quite literally glow. With his glasses on, the glowing is the only remarkable thing about them. When you stare into his eyes when his glasses off though... it can be an odd experience. Staring into his eyes gives the impression that time has ceased to flow. Then you become aware of just how fast you are moving through the void of space. Most students avoid looking into his eyes.

Clothes and Equipment: Previously Edward only owned one suit of clothing. He retains these clothes, as a sort of work uniform. His style of dress when working is odd. He wears: sturdy blue cotton pants, an over sized coat of some unknown material, a sweater with a hood sewn onto it, and a large scarf. Each piece of clothing fluctuates in state of repair, and cleanliness through the day. If these clothes were not so eccentric, he could easily be considered a beggar while wearing them.
Edward has begun to expand his wardrobe in recent months. His first new accessory is a pair of glasses. Unlike other time mages, Edward struggled with turning off his time sight, rather than turning it on. His glasses are enchanted to suppress it. When not working he tends to wear casual clothing. Loose white shirts, and simple leather leggings. He also has a handful of stylish, if simple mage robes for special occasions.

Edward did have to be forcibly shoved out of the room. He did a great deal of spluttering and protesting as he went. Still part of him knew he shouldn't be in there probably. Even if he was worried, what if something went wrong? He should be in there he could get back in, quickly teleport. Wait no, if he surprised Reu that might be bad. Edward slowly spins in a circle as he tries to decide what to do. Not quite willing to pace, not quite willing to go back in, not quite willing to stay still. He just spins and panics.

Reuna Laurént
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 361
Age: 51
Physical Description: Reuna is a striking study in contrasts. She is just slightly above female average, height-wise, standing at 5'8", and is slender, with a fragile bone structure that makes her look weak; this is, of course, balanced out by her strength and skill in magic. Her hair is long, descending to her waist, and is purely black, which is a sharp opposition to her pale-skinned features. Her eyes are the color of amethyst, dark and intense, and are usually the only method from which one can derive her mood, as she very rarely displays her emotions via facial expressions. She appears young, in her mid-thirties, although if one looks closely enough, they can see the beginnings of fine lines around her eyes and mouth. Although few have ever seen them, due to her tendency to keep herself fully covered from neck to toes, she has whip-mark scars covering most of her back, and scars from long periods spent in manacles around both of her wrists, remnants from her days as a slave.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Generally, Reuna wears one of five sets of identical robes, with high collars and long slightly-loose sleeves, in black, dark grey, purple, dark green, and dark blue. Commonly-carried equipment consists of her personal grimoire, a traveling writing kit (with ink well, quills, and writing desk), and a belt with pouches that contain various items (both magical and non); though perhaps not considered equipment, her raven companion Karrik always accompanies her.

Afternoon passed into evening with the muffled voices of the midwife and Reuna coming from behind the door, and then just shy of the moon reaching its apex in the sky, the sounds would become louder - clearly screams of pain and effort from the sorceress. He'd also be able to hear the bang and sizzle of her magic clashing with the wards within the room. Finally, when the moon was at its highest in the sky, he'd hear a welcome sound: That of a baby wailing. Several minutes later, the midwife came hurrying out with her arms full of bloodied towels, and she gave Edward a smile. "You've got a lovely baby girl in there. Go on ahead, they're both awake."
When Edward entered the room, he'd find Reuna nestled in the room's bed against a small mountain of pillows, their clean and swaddled daughter in her arms. Reuna's hair was tied back from her face, but stray tendrils and her bangs were damp with sweat, and she looked exhausted.. but there was also an undeniably happy expression on her face. She smiled up at him, and tilted her head toward the baby, who was staring up with wide, unbelievably blue eyes, and a short cap of hair dark as the night outside. "Say hello to your daddy, Emara."

Edward had slowly worked himself into a nervous wreck over the last few hours. He had gone from spinning, to pacing, to pressing his forehead to the door, to a brief span of rolling around on the ground, to chewing his nails. He did literally everything, but think to remove his glasses and check the future. He had to quite literally restrain himself from barging into the room when Reu started screaming. He got Paulie to sit on his chest the large dog rendered him immobile rather effectively. When the wet nurse finally emerged it was to an Edward who was still crushed by nearly 200 lbs of dog.
"Oh good. Paulie get off."
The time mages voice was just shy of calm. As the dog ambled off Edward got to his feet and rushed inside. Reu was pale sweaty and worn, but she had never looked more beautiful. In her arms though was a little bundle with bright blue eyes. His heart hammered so hard he couldn't hear and it took him a moment to find his breath. His vision blurred as tears of unrelenting joy welled in his eyes. He lifts his glasses wipes the tears away and then reaches out tentatively to take the bundle. Once the babe is in his arms he smiles down at her and touches his noise to hers.
"Hello Emara. That's right I'm your daddy."
He looks up at Reu and his smile could light the dark side of the moon.
"She's perfect."

Happily handing the child over to her father, Reuna relaxed back against the pillows with a smile. It was so beautiful, watching Edward interact with their daughter. The love he felt for the girl was so evident that it made tears well in her eyes. For her part, Emara seemed to be content to chew on her fist and stare up at Edward inquisitively, clearly curious about the man holding her. Reuna grinned and nodded her agreement of his assessment.
"I couldn't agree more. She wasn't at all eager to come out, though. I'm exhausted." She yawned, raising her hands to rub at her tired eyes with slender fingers. "I get the feeling she's going to be a stubborn one."
