Eugene couldn't help but to chuckle, nor could he wipe the grin from his face as she mopped up her tears and let him slide the ring onto her finger where it belonged. It was charmed to fit no matter what, so he hoped that was working alright. "I made the box very plain and locked." Eugene shrugged. Keeping it away from her hadn't been too tricky. "Not to mention she's been busy with the babies."

The cage was on the other side of his study, where they were presumably still sleeping under there. It was locked pretty well as an added security measure. "There were four, I found homes for the three boys, but I kept the wee female for you too, if you want her." He smiled softly down at Tilda, taking in the exhaustion clear on her features. Gently he swept some of her wayward hair from her face and kissed her forehead. He could certainly get used to this level of comfort and closeness from here on out.
