[The video turns on to reveal Alexia sleeping in bed, is the worst possible condition you are likely to ever see her. Her hair is loose and a tangled mess at that. Her dress is ruined from being torn, covered with dirt and other unmentionable mess.

And oh yes, she's holding a new born baby in her arms. The baby girl is properly swaddled and sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms.

After a moment, Alexia opens her eyes and takes notice of the recording. She sighs slightly and carefully shifts to a sitting position. She must look as dignified as possible despite her current state. Meanwhile the child sleeps on.]

Of course. I should have known you would want an update sooner, rather than later.

My dear community, may I introduce you to my daughter? Prudence Alessandra. [She lifts the crook of her elbow so that the camera might catch a better view of the sleeping baby.]

[Makes face!]

[carriesparasol]

If you keep making that face you'll upset Prudence.

[chapter_behind]

Nonsense. Prudence adores me. She never harasses or teases me.

[carriesparasol]

Give her a few years.

[chapter_behind]

I hardly think so. She adores me.

[carriesparasol]

Only because she knows you shall spoil her rotten.

[chapter_behind]

Well, someone needs to.

[He's now allowing Prudence to gum contentedly on his fingers.]

[carriesparasol]

You do remember that Lord Akeldama will be her caretaker, I hope. I imagine he will have a great deal of fun spoiling her as well.

[ironysoul]

Yes, I imagine so.

[But James will spoil her better.]
