Two Rivers Isle Except a memory, a distant Echo

Ulrich cleared his throat, a little embarrassed at his sudden show of emotion. He knew he shouldn't be embarrassed, that this was simply a holdover from his days as a soldier, working for a tyrant king, but he couldn't easily ignore five years of brainwashing. So, he said, leaning into Adylaide, Everarda for a girl and Manias for a boy. We need to come up with some other names, though. We could have more than two pups, after all. He hoped they'd have more than two pups, although even just one would be enough for him. Just one to dote upon and love. Just one to whom to pass on his wisdom and knowledge. He just wanted children, period. To prove... something. That he had truly moved on from his old life? That he and Adylaide had finally made it? Something like that.
