Children are complicated and often impossible.

Sounds like you are an over-exhausted mother.

[silver_deceit]

Something like that, yes. *When she wasn't being neglectful or her children weren't being chained... or cast into Midgard's oceans. Parenting is hard, okay?*

[slayers_desire]

I only have one. [April gestures to the infant in her arms] How many do you have?

[silver_deceit]

*She answers with a casual shrug.* Hundreds across the centuries. Though some have proven to be more... difficult than others. Value yours before it becomes troublesome.

[slayers_desire]

You have children with powers? [This interests April in particular]

Ours could inherit different abilities. I have often wondered the challenges that would bring.

[silver_deceit]

Some of them, if you could call it that. Some of them have proven to be perfectly ordinary-- as far as they know.

*That draws her attention. She raises an eyebrow ever so slightly as curiosity wins out.* Oh?

[slayers_desire]

Both my husband and I have abilities. So he might inherit something.

[silver_deceit]

Mutants? *The girl before her certainly didn't feel like a goddess, though there were so many categories of other these days that it was hard to keep track.*

[slayers_desire]

No. But I have met some. I am a vampire.

[silver_deceit]

Fascinating. *There was an appraising look as she took the girl in again.* And the father? Is he also a vampire?

[slayers_desire]

Nope. He is an alien.

[silver_deceit]

An interesting combination.

[slayers_desire]

And since this little one is a hybrid, we don't know what powers he may have. Or if he will have any. [April gently tickles the feet of her infant son]

[silver_deceit]

How old is the boy?

[slayers_desire]

Eight months.

[silver_deceit]

Still too early I suppose.

[slayers_desire]

Still a lot of time. But if you have any advice, I would be happy to listen. It is not often I meet another mother with gifted children.
