[ Oh please, Leo's more than allowed to be schmoopy - especially on his birthday, of all days.

But the wonder in Leo's voice is still crystal clear to Camilla, and she takes a moment to rest a hand over Leo's and squeeze his hand tight. A fond, loving little gesture, as much as she can manage right now while still wanting to keep her darling little brother safe. ] Mm... We've done well, don't you think? It's almost hard to believe these lands used to be so dry and barren.

[ And she knows exactly who's been working on that not so little project in particular. ] You've been working hard on that, haven't you? And on top of all that you do to support Xander... [ If she could kiss his cheek, she would. ] You're truly wonderful, Leo, and I'm so very proud of you.
