Girls day out

Rhyme fell quiet and for a long moment there was silence between them until Tana decided she did indeed with to speak. He let his dual colored gaze linger on the horizon before them, but couldn’t help look to her at the first question. She asked, other than in her normal stutter, neutrally. Rhyme wouldn’t quite had understood what she asked with out the second half of her question. Did he want a family?

He tried not to take too long in his answer, not wanting her to read too deeply into the silence. He was beginning to feel his eyes open. She may have been more confident now but he could see the stiffness in her step as she asked. "I suppose you mean ‘feel deeply for’ when you say ‘like." He started, deciding where to go as he continued. Did she ask because she felt that way for him? "No, there is no one I seek a long term relationship with." He mulled over the second part, again feeling the tug of wanting a stake in the future. Someone to live on after he was gone. To carry the memories and spirit of his line. "I would like to raise a child or two before I die." He offered, knowing he wasn’t getting any younger. There were a few women he would have enjoyed reproducing with, but he wasn’t about to tell that to Tana.

He was afraid to ask the question back, he didn’t want to get swept away by the fury her past liked to bring him. "Do you want to be a mother again?" He asked softly, unsure how she might react, though he knew she would never forget her first two.
