I know that.

That's why I was able to leave this time.

- I've got a weird question, though.

[superstylishsquid]

In case you hadn't noticed, we live weird lives.

So shoot.

[carvemyname]

Maybe it's not weird, it's just. Awkward. And I don't know how to say it.

...

Tell me when you're ready for a kid. If you want one. Because I kind of... do.

[superstylishsquid]

Oh...well, it's. Actually something I have wanted, if I had the opportunity to raise a kid properly.

I'm just...worried. I don't wanna have to explain to a preschooler why the neighbors think they're a monster.

[carvemyname]

People are more open these days. I think there's even a half demon at Nero's orphanage.

The other kids are fine with her.

[superstylishsquid]

Another...? Does she look it?

[carvemyname]

Yeah. Her skin and eyes.

[superstylishsquid]

The only other person I've met in the modern day who might have any demon blood, it's so diluted that the only evidence of it is her ears...

[carvemyname]

Maybe you should meet her.

I've heard she's adorable.

[superstylishsquid]

Sure. And Nero's already told me those kids are used to seeing his demon form, already. It'll be nice to be able to stay in my preferred form.

[carvemyname]

They sure are. They've even begged to see mine.

[superstylishsquid]

Kids always have been more curious about the supernatural than adults...

[carvemyname]

I just worry that exposure is going to hurt them somehow.

Like the supernatural will seek them out.

[superstylishsquid]

If they're in the kind of place where cambions can happen, I think they're gonna run into it anyway. Best they at least know how to deal with it.

[carvemyname]

That's true, I guess.

- so, you wanna go there when I get home?

[superstylishsquid]

Sure...kinda itching for a roadtrip, honestly.

[carvemyname]

I'll be home tomorrow.

Early.

Be ready.

[superstylishsquid]

Will you be rested when you get home?

[carvemyname]

....no.

But!

[superstylishsquid]

Then I think you can get some sleep before heading back out.

[carvemyname]

....yeah, okay.

But after?

[superstylishsquid]

After you wake up, yeah.

[carvemyname]

I feel like sleeping forever.
