[riverbeans]

Oh, I'm excited. [vibrates more UNFORTUNATELY FOR EVERYONE ELSE CHARLES BECOMES ONE OF THOSE OBNOXIOUS DADS WHO GOES "ISN'T OUR BABY THE GREATEST???" WHILE HIS OWN WIFE TELLS HIM TO CHILL A LITTLE] Of course, there's always going to be some fear—I don't expect to be a perfect parent, and being royalty always complicates things—but I'm very happy.

... ah, I can tell.

Have you thought of a name?

[riverbeans]

Something that starts with "El", most likely. It's something of a tradition on Alaune's maternal side of the family to have names with certain syllables.

[discomfort]

Oh... cute.

[ normal family traditions... wild.

anyway speaking of children. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

[discomfort]

Ah, well, you know. Sometimes guests can be sort of naughty.

[ sometimes they just rip your skin off ]

[riverbeans]

That, uh, seems like a very specific kind of naughtiness.

[discomfort]

Mm...

I suppose it was a rough first meeting, I will admit.
