[Skies, hearing Jasper's baby girl laugh never fails to lift Hendrik's mood. So it's a strange feeling that falls upon him when he hears Jasper mention Princess Jade. It leaves him silent for a moment as he tries to put his feelings together.]
...She would have loved Celestine. I am sure of it.
[It's so hard to picture the princess as anything but the bright, disarmingly stubborn eight-year-old she had been before her ... untimely death. Try as he might to imagine her any older, aging three years, his mind's eye always thinks of her as he had last seen her.]
She always did want siblings. Though I suppose Celestine would ... practically be her niece? I am unsure how it would have worked.
[His brows furrow as a question forms in his mind, eyes glancing over to Jasper's face more than once. He purses his lips, the question also escaping him before he loses his nerve.]
