Broken Boulder what will you dream of tonight, lady rachel?

she seems to take to the idea, thankfully. it feels awkward to -- have a one way conversation (as if it's not a pattern in his life already, but go off), and for a moment he hesitates, trying to compose his thoughts. after a beat he takes a breath. "there's three of them," delight begins, focusing on the objective overview, "a boy and two girls -- mali, brilliance, and solomon. their eyes are open now but they're still pretty tiny.. i didn't, uh, realise how tiny they'd be. which is kind of stupid, i guess."

he smiles at his feet. "i was really unsure about this whole thing -- both of us were. we hadn't, y'know, planned on it. or really wanted it. for me it was like -- i thought i could maybe ... preserve tindómë that way -- oh, um, tindómë being the pack we're from -- i thought that it would be a way to make sure we had a legacy. clearly it didn't work, at least in the sense of saving tindómë as a place." looking back up at her, delight tilts his head sheepishly, realising he's meandered off topic. "sorry -- it's just been on my mind a lot, lately. they're perfect, though. now that they're here i don't regret it."
