Moonspear for the longest time

To Alya, this place was home a lot more than it was to Nikai, and he could imagine that quelled her doubts a fair bit. Nikai wondered if pups were the right thing to do right now, with how he felt, but on the other hand he also was ready to settle. Without travelling lined out for his future -- because it just wasn't as fast and easy as it used to be -- what did the rest of his life look like? He wanted to have something to fill this empty feeling and although rationally he imagined pups might not be that answer, he did feel that it would help give them something new to focus on now that travel was less of an option than it was before.

Though travelling with children did sound nice. And in general, creating little mini-them's was quite tempting. They made quite the pair and Nikai was convinced their children could be quite something. I think I'd like to settle, too, Nikai said in response to Alya's desire to become a mother. For now, I mean. You're right, we could always take them when we decide to travel again. Nikai smiled at the thought of travelling with not only Alya but some children of their own, too. It was an appealing thought. Should we call Hydra and Dirge to ask them? They seemed pretty eager at the meeting, so it probably isn't a surprise to them. Might as well get it over with, he felt, to make sure they didn't build their hopes and dreams for the future on a non-existent reality.
