I should have figured on this at some point, but I didn’t, and now I have a bit to think about.
Tizze asked me about the possibility of having children. They wouldn’t be mine, of course, because I’m dead and dead people can’t produce children. They’d be someone else’s, and hers, but she insists I wouldn’t have to be a father to them.
Part of me misses being a father. I wasn’t very good at it, but I liked it anyway – while the pragmatic? part of me thinks this is a bad idea. I kill people to stay unalive. My powers draw on the life forces of the living. That sort of thing.
Having a child around an active rune weapon (two, really) is a Terrible Idea, but Tizze being a mother would make her happy – she wants to be one, she wants to contribute to the Darkspear somehow.
… I wonder what she’d think about me having a hand in picking the father.
I need to think on this some more, talk to her more, ask her more questions, I guess.
The house is big enough for one or two children, I think.
