[~~thinking out loud~~] Me, him, and baby... living together...

...

Take your time. I'm not going to pressure you into anything.

.... I know.

...what are you thinking?

.... I don't know what to do, Nox...

You still have time to think about it. Do you know what you want to do?

... I want to be able to take care of this child.

You can take care it. There's no reason why you can't. And I'll be there to help.

I... don't think I can, Nox...

I know you can! Just give it a chance, you won't know what will happen yet.

.....

Kaelyn... I can't do this on my own.

.... I know you can't Nox.

But I don't want to just give up either.

... it would be better for him.

Who?

The baby.

... It... feels like a boy.

...it does?

..... yeah.

...

....

So... what do you think about living together?

...... I don't know, Nox.... my last permanent residence wasn't so great... and I know it won't be the same but...

...it will be strange. Even for me. I haven't been living like that for several years now. But we'll be fine, I know we will.

..... how do you mean... 'join' the royal family?

Oh... um...

Well... [He's probably blushing a lot now.]

... nevermind. You don't have to answer that.

...you'd have to marry me.

.....

I-I mean... you don't have to, but if you wanted to join the Royal Family...

..... if I did marry you it wouldn't be because I wanted to join the Royal Family, Nox.

....what are you saying?

....... I don't know.

Yes you do. Tell me.

[Looks away from him now.] .... I love you, Nox.

...I love you too, Kaelyn.

.... if I did marry you it would be because I love you. Not because of joining your family...

...would it bother you though? Becoming royalty?

.... Just... people watching me...

Yeah... well, you know how much I hate that...

I know.

After a while, you just learn to block it out if it's bothering you.

...

You'd be fine. They'd get used to you.
