"Yes," she smiled proudly at him. I am okay."

"Then what was it with that smile?" His eyes narrowed at her, watching to make sure she wasn't going to lie her way out of this one.

His smile brightened up instantly and he pressed a kiss on her nose bridge. "Now you see you are behaving like me, or the way you thought I behaved when I made you regent."

"That was different, Vidor. I just see a different side of you daily and I am overwhelmed."

"I would take that as a compliment," he smiled again.

"Yes, you should. It was a compliment."
