[ Just the most innocent smile ever. ]

Mom? Mom! Can I have a snake? Dad said you would say no.

Mm...

We tell Serrure together.

[infernoandhearth]

I think we might have already done, by virtue of using his post to talk. But we'll do it officially, if you want.

[hulkbusted]

Official and traditional.

[infernoandhearth]

You're terribly old fashioned, aren't you? Is that why you like me?

[hulkbusted]

No. Luke always happy.

[infernoandhearth]

That's a very nice thing to like about me.

[doeswhathewants]

You have my blessing, of course. And do forgive a bit of childish acting out against my peers? Stressful situation and all, blending families.

[infernoandhearth]

It's rather less effective, you know, if you announce your intent in advance.

[doeswhathewants]

I find Mom takes it better when he's prepared well in advance.

[infernoandhearth]

That's true enough.

[doeswhathewants]

Future Parent Luke, you think I am mature enough for a pony, yes?

[infernoandhearth]

I think a pony wouldn't have much room in the apartment. It's all to do with whether Hulk would permit one. Are you only requesting animals I've had for past children purposefully?

[doeswhathewants]

I never said an eight-legged pony, did I? [That's near as good as a yes.]

[infernoandhearth]

You might just wait for a younger sibling, you know.

[doeswhathewants]

A sibling isn't exactly like a pet, though.

Uh.

Are you pregnant?

[infernoandhearth]

They are if they're particularly younger.

I'm not sure yet.

[doeswhathewants]

But rather not as cool as a horse or a wolf or a snake. Or as intimidating.

Oh.

Uhm. Awkward.

[infernoandhearth]

Depending on if I am, and who the dad is, if I am, then they might well be just as intimidating. I've really no idea how it works, with me, I mean, Angie and I were both jotnar and we still managed two thirds animals.

Anyway, even if not now, then probably eventually. I like kids.

[doeswhathewants]

So long as no one assumes I shall always babysit. Things to do and all.

[infernoandhearth]

You've never had a younger sibling, so I expect you don't know that they never leave you alone. Ever.

[doeswhathewants]

Ever?

That sounds both fun and potentially vexing.

[infernoandhearth]

I believe that's the point of them.
