Sarah noticed change in Mahler's tone and the way he answered - she knew that her question had cut deep. This was no longer the pragmatic man of before, who had spoken so boldly about conquering the mountain range with an army of children. She sensed... personal. Very. And somebody, who did not open to other people lightly, she respected the man's untold wish not to discuss the matter further. 

"No," Sarah shook her head. "I wanted to have a big family once. For the wrong reasons though," she withheld the fact that her ideas had been very similar to those of Mahler's. Then. "Now... I believe that I am not cut for a family life. Let others have the fun," she did not wish to delve deeper either, therefore she finished in a lighter tone and a teasing glance in Mahler's direction.

"Or was your question a subtle attempt to rope me in your grand master plan as well?" turned out there was more light-hearted edge to share.
