[Haru watches as Legosi focuses his attention on something just out of view, rising up slightly on the balls of her feet despite knowing she won't be able to see it no matter how much taller she could stretch herself upward. As he brings the beetle plush down into view, she smiles knowingly, bringing her hands back in front of her and absentmindedly resting her hands at the swell of her stomach, subconsciously feeling at ease and finally letting her guard down completely.]

Oh! That was the pet beetle you had at school, wasn't it? [The plush is certainly a cuter caricature of the insect, large enough for a puppy to cuddle without completely overwhelming an animal as potentially small as their kid could possibly be.

Nodding and reaching forward to rest her hands on the soft carapace of the stuffed bug:
] I think it's perfect. Just the right size, too!

[Seemingly satisfied, she's about to take it from him to carry it while they continue along, but she stops suddenly, ears going tense and alert as though she's trying to sense something and then unceremoniously grabbing at Legosi's paw with both hands to pull it towards her abdomen not even a second later.

What she had been assuming to be the usual giddy feelings when around him had flared up into something much more purposeful and...not of her own doing, and she hopes Legosi can feel what she feels as she fits the curve of his palm over the curve of her belly.

It's about as small and subtle as the flap of a butterfly's wing, but--

They're moving.

[Said in case he can't feel it.]
