What I want... Kel hesitated, his eyes darkening with sorrow. Is impossible. And I shouldn't have wasted your time. I apologize. I can't give you children. Knowing what it meant, the taint they would carry through his blood — and if he should produce a son — !
Even if he did not believe that men were inherently weak, untrustworthy creatures until tested and proven otherwise, Kel had proven himself exactly that. When faced with the opportunity to become more... he had run. And that was why The Evergarden was closed to him forever; why he would never be the father any child deserved.
I hope you find what you're looking for, He offered quietly; parting words, and then he turned to take his leave. If he stayed here another moment, he knew he would lose this sudden resolve.
