Blacktail Deer Plateau With the lights down low

Grayday thought for a moment. There was still a whole world left to see, but travel didn't appeal to him the same way it used to. And, of course, he'd like to see his blood mixed with Cat's - their combined DNA. But life was a fickle mistress even without the added fear of the curse. He didn't know if he'd willingly risk her that way. They'd cross that bridge when they came to it, he supposed.

But there was one thing he'd been thinking a lot about, lately. "Perhaps you can take me to meet your family," he suggested. "I'd like to see where you grew up. You could introduce me to your brother." He wondered if her parents were still alive, and what they might think of him. Mostly, he hoped that she'd have the chance he never got. It always pained him to know that his parents would never know how he turned out. He'd always wished he could go home one last time. But it wasn't to be; not for him, anyway.
