"Why not try now?" Faisal glanced towards the boys. "I think they'll be quiet for now and I can ask Tadita to watch over them." Even if they were wary of most the older cook who had come along with the staff was someone that Faisal had known for years. If there was anyone that he could trust it would be her. "Dinner won't be for a while so Tadi can take a break from meal preparations." He assured Sariza before finally standing, his neck cracking slightly as he stretched his arms above his head. Too many hours at a desk, I suppose.
"We can take it easy and stay close enough that we can run back at any time." It would be a far closer walk than going to the village and thankfully the manor was nestled in the cliffs so the cove was right around the bend. It would surely do the both of them good to get some sunlight after being inside for so long.

"Now?" Sariza bit her lower lip and felt a spike of anxiety. What if they needed them while they were gone? What if they woke up and cried or-? "Well...they were just fed and they should sleep for a while..." It was hard, breaking away the first couple of times, but Sariza didn't want to stay in this room all day. She needed some time with just Faisal if she had any hope of staying sane. Besides, it wasn't as if Tadita didn't know what she was doing; the older cook had even given Sariza a few tips from time to time.
Taking a deep, steadying breath Sariza followed suit and stood up. "Give me some time to change." She picked at the edge of her robe, frowning at the mixture of drool and dried milk attached to the edges. Oh, what a sight she must be compared to the woman who had walked on his arm all those months ago.
"Unless you wanted to stay and watch?"

"Mmhmm." Faisal nodded encouragingly as he leaned against the doorframe. "I promise the boys will be fine." It would be for the best, right? They had to eventually get used to space from the boys even if Faisal found himself worried about them most of the time when he was away. If anything this situation was a bit of a blessing since being back in Oba would have meant that they would have been separated from the boys almost immediately because of their roles. We'll have to enjoy every moment that we can together.
His gaze did perk up at the sudden question, Faisal chuckling. "If you'd like I can even help. Should I pick out an outfit too?" It would obviously have to be something appropriate since they were actually leaving the manor, even though Faisal could imagine a few other alternatives if not for the healer's warning. Eventually. It was still strange to think that they were husband and wife now, but the realization always delighted Faisal. Despite everything he was glad that it was Sariza standing before him and not someone else.

"So long as it isn't too revealing." Sariza quirked her lip into a little grin and pinched the flesh above her hip. Getting used to this new body, one that hadn't yet found it's shape after birth, was taking some adjustment. "For your sake as well as my own."
She needed to wash her face at the very least and pull her dreads back into something other than a half-slept in mess. Even if they didn't plan on running into anyone there would still be the servants to contend with and there was a certain level of decorum Sariza was expected to follow.

"I'll choose something comfortable for your sake." Promised Faisal even though he could only shake his head. Even if Sariza had more children in the future the man would still adore her. It was just proof of the trials she had gone through in order to bring life into the world, their sons into their lives. They both would be doing some training of all sorts whenever she fully recovered from giving birth, that much Faisal knew for certain.
"Take your time and I'll prepare everything else." He commented before finally pushing away from the doorframe, crossing over to start working through Sariza's wardrobe to find a comfortable tunic and leggings so that he could leave that on the bed for her before getting some other supplies for their little excursion. Everything would work out and Faisal wanted to make certain to enjoy every possible moment with his family before their return to Oba.
