"I am honored you think such" From this close, his eyes look huge, huge and dark in the shadows cast by the firelight.
Now that she was lying down, she decides to stay a while - at least until she gets the impulse to move again. So it's time to make herself comfortable by his side. There is some shifting, and some bending of limbs, and finally she's back to nearly where she started.
"I've not had any. Not yet. I was too young at first. And then I left to walk the path of solitary knowledge in the ways of the land. Plants, the healing of such; and some few other things as well. When I returned, I was made courier to my lady, and a formal member of her court."
"And now there is interest from others in my passing on my gifts. But I love Linette and will not leave her for another, though I am the last of my bloodline. Should the time come when she and I decide that we are ready for children, I am sure we will be able to find someone we trust to father the child, someone willing to remain as part of our lives to help raise it. But it will not be for his powers alone that we would choose the father, for there are things far more important than blood."
She moves and shifts so that she is leaning partially on him and looking down at his face in the darkness, while her hair drapes down onto his chest.
"All parents make mistakes, Maxim. Some are big, and some are small. It is part of being a parent. And I am certain that with your experience, you know better than many what works and what does not."
