Broken Antler Fen This may call for a proper introduction

Eljay knew from his experience as a puppysitter that it was rare for children to be so eager to meet their little siblings. He was quite happy to see that Hymnal was so eager that she wanted to know when they'd be there yet. Eljay realised then that he hadn't even asked Maia if she wanted children again. He hoped she would, of course, but maybe it was too early to make Hymnal altogether too happy. After a short, thoughtful pause he said with a smile, When it's warmer again outside. The body of the mother decides when it's time, and we can't always influence that ourselves, but it's always in the warmer months of the year. He decided to leave out all the intricacies that he wasn't sure it would even happen yet, and keep it simple for now. Eljay did mentally note that he should probably figure out with Maia if she wanted to have children again in the coming year, though; time was drawing nearer.
