"But then you do it all over again, don't you? Litters are an annual thing after all," Dwin pointed out, taking her own family as an example. Maia had given birth in three consecutive seasons. Her father had had kids even before he and mom had become an item. Same with Teya. Dwin believed that there was a choice of, whether you wanted to have kids or not, when you were not married. But after that - you simply obeyed the rules of nature. This made her wonder, if he had abandoned his family and it was very tempting to dig for more answers, but... she had just as little business in is private matters as he did with making trade deals with Brecheliant children. 

"I am not the one to make arrangements with either," she replied, though she had a feeling that Maia would not be against her second eldest daughter taking up more responsibilities and making decisions. But Dwin was neither ready, nor willing to venture there. Yet. "Well, as exciting as the exchange between us was, I have to be on my way," she was glad that by looking up at the sky the man had given her an excuse to go. She had grown tired and the conversation had run its course as well. But just before she turned on her heel and ran off, she paused and looked at him: "Brecheliant is about having and collecting good stories."  If he were to stand on their doorstep ever again, offering a good story for a trade would be a far better option.
