`` Do you love me?'' 
 
 Yuri Danilov glanced at his wife, his breath misting in the foggy, foggy dew. 
 
 `` You know, I suppose I do.'' 
 
 Cornelia Hall smiled at his words and wove her fingers through his fingers, leaning against the damp leather of his jacket as they strolled along the quiet canal. A few houseboats sat silent at their moorings, hatches and windows closed shut against the chill of the night. A pair of Canopian swans nested down as well, their speckled black and white feathered bodies shadows in the gloom. 
 
 This stretch of the Royal Canal flowed through one of the more upscale neighborhoods, the Neo-Victorian ironwork lining the granite sett walkway. Tall townhouses overlooked the water to the East Bank, the Crystalla Centrella Memorial Park on the West. There was no one in sight; the late evening rains having driven everyone else inside. The two had the night to themselves. 
 
 
 `` So, how long this time?'' 
 
 `` Eight months,'' he answered. 
 
 `` Eight months? That's a long time for a little girl to be without her father.'' 
 
 Yuri shrugged. 
 
 `` You knew the costs when you married me. It's just pirate hunting duty; we should be done in half that. If you want me to stay with you and Gwen try using all that influence you have with the government and get me and my Light Dragoons a contract here.'' 
 
 Cornelia said nothing for a long while, content in walking with her love down the misty path. 
 
 `` Come home safe, will you?''
