Atlas took a deep breath and stepped back, sitting down on the edge of the bed again. Still trying to process how his morning had started with waking up in Serenith's room and now included another one of Edrik's "brilliant" ideas.
Before he could say anything more, Serenith had already stepped closer to the egg. She placed her hands gently on its surface and began channeling her mana into it.
"Oh! The egg is responding to my mana!" she said with a delighted giggle.
Atlas frowned, glancing toward Edrik, whose expression… as always, remained completely unreadable.
"Does that mean I've become the egg's mother, Edrik?" Serenith asked cheerfully, her eyes sparkling as she looked back at Atlas. "My lord… does this make me your fourth wife?"
"Can you both stop with these ridiculous ideas," Atlas said flatly before turning his attention to Edrik. "Edrik. Explain."
