Runa looked at him with playful relief. "Hehe, thanks, Silvy, but I wasn't asking what you thought of it, remember?"
Realization struck, causing Erik to blink. Then, he chuckled and looked at his mother wryly. "Right, I may have jumped the gun a little… but don't pretend you weren't going to ask me that after seeing my initial reaction!"
Sighing, Runa pulled him into a hug again. "Of course, I was, Silvy," she smiled, speaking his nickname in a tone that made it seem like she wanted to call him silly instead. "And I'm glad you're okay with it…"
It was a short hug. She quickly pushed him off again and smirked. "Not that it would have stopped me if you weren't! I was okay with your harem, so you'll have to be okay with mine, if you like it or not!"
Not surprised at all, Erik chuckled. "Of course, Mom."
