Sun Mote Copse Just like dust we settle in this town

Maia was surprised by the change in direction.  Her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of the previous, and she opened her mouth to immediately deny it.  It was habit to say no, of course not, why would she want kids!?  But she closed her muzzle again when she actually caught up and thought about it.

Yeah, she admitted, with a little shrug and a sheepish smile.  She had always thought maybe being a mom was too much, but she really liked kids.  She enjoyed talking to them and telling them stories and playing with them.  It would be pretty cool to have some of her own.

That prolly won't happen anytime soon though, she added quickly, dismissing it almost as soon as she said it.  It wasn't like any guys were really banging down her door in that department, and it wasn't like she had any she'd liked enough to.... yeah.  Maybe she'd thought once or twice about the kind of dad her prince woulda made, but he was gone again, and she knew it was stupid.  What about you?
