[ Jamie watches her with curious interest. This sort of thing is beyond him. It was strange enough watching Claire do things he'd never seen before. Medical things, but this is stuff from legends. Whispers said among his people. The talk of magic and fairies. But his wife came through stones from the future and then back through them. He can wrap his brain around a ring that brings him this sort of peace and clam.

He's trying to focus on their hands together, but the sound of whatever was on her couch draws closer. Heavy feet until finally he sees is near her feet. His eyes tear away from their hands to look at the animal. His gaze narrows and he looks incredibly confused. Rosalind doesn't seem bothered by it. He wants to ask if this is something different and strange like the animal his wife had been given.

But he doesn't have time to focus too much on the animal though because suddenly the feeling pumps through him. This uncontrolled calm that warms into his bones. Jamie smiles and shuts his eyes momentarily. For once Black Jack Randall doesn't occupy every moment in his head. ]

[She watches his expression melt, some of the tension leaving his body. It won't last for long, but at least it's something.]

His name is Darwin.

[She murmurs it, answering the question Jamie hadn't yet asked, as she keeps her hand pressed firm against his.]

My pet. Only a few weeks old.
