Sleeping Dragon things which have never yet been done

Gavriel bobs his head once to the first question as he slides up next to her, encouraging her to continue walking. Now that they didn’t have to be as hovering over the children, time alone is comforting. They did often sit in the back of his mind, wondering what they are up to when he isn’t around but the mystery remains unresolved.

“I don’t know,” he says with a slight shrug. “Wildfire came up to me after the expedition with Freyja and ask if I’d father… their children.”

The relationship he and Gyda have never really got an answer, or a label, but he feels weird nonetheless bringing it up. He’d never denied something from his Heda, former or present, and here he stood, next to his non-mate, confessing something not commonly done. You simply didn’t say no.

“I told her I didn’t think it was a good idea and I… I don’t know. I could tell it hurt her but,” he adds with a slight shrug, swinging his head to catch his expression with his own formulation, am I wrong?
