Once Halim had made himself comfortable, the princess complied, cautiously lifting Shain (who began to wake in transition, wriggling slightly, though he didn't cry) and made an exchange of the baby from mother to great-uncle.
"He sleeps through much of the day," she explained, body achingly sore, still as Ashe settled back against the pillows once Halim had taken hold of the infant. "Perhaps it is better, should he be awake. Worry not about disturbing him."
"It is good to see you again, Uncle," came her quiet admission, holding out a hand to Rasler, that he might hold it whilst the Bhujerban acquainted himself with the newborn prince.
