That sounds good to me! Oh no. I won’t. Not a an option :)

Good, because then I would have to drag you back here. My right hand cannot just up and leave!

I love you, brother. And I’m glad you are, sometimes, such an annoying and persistent nag.

You know, after all the effort I put into the search and looking at how I met Eden in the end….I guess looking is what counts, no matter how. And once you will only want peace and quiet back, you can go roam for a while ;) Does not sound like the worst thing to do to me.

I will bring souvenirs. And it’s different to what we did before because I can always come back to Chicago and know that you will be here. As long as you don’t want to flee as well, that is.

I can’t accuse you for doing so. It seemed all so dark for so many years, especially after we lost the other. It seemed like things had come to an end…

But that’s the past! On one hand, I’d like to have you here with us, especially once the little one is around. Yet again, if you feel like traveling (or like whatever else), you should do it! One never knows what one will find…leaves me still all baffled…

I knew that if anyone would tell me to leave and see the world or whatever, it would be you.

I won’t leave too soon. It’s been so long since we’ve been around children, I want to enjoy it a little bit before I pack my stuff and maybe try to find something on my own. I never believed that you were dead, so how could I give up thinking that we are not the only ones? I don’t do all the bookish stuff like you, using the computer to find clues. I will go where my nose takes me and maybe that’s what I should have done a long, long time ago. But first, I will enjoy having a baby around for a bit!

We should not give it up, it’s what all of this proves. We can’t anyways. It’s just not an option even though it’s the hardest thing to me at times.

You know….I look differently at things by now. True, I felt you have given up on us and focused just on her. What I definitely underestimated though was the impact of, well, falling in love. I had no idea. So yes…I was not happy about her. Yet I just by now fully unterstand what I asked from you.

Uhm…like doing what?

See it as a start? Or motivation? The reason to go on, I guess. Make it all better for the little prince or princess.

I had given up. That’s the worst thing of all. Sure, I looked after our folk, but I forgot about us. I’m not mad at you, for anything. You wanted to do right, by me, our race, the ones we are supposed to protect. Now you can just lay back and let me be the repos... resposi... responsible? The responsible one for once.

I... have no fucking clue. But I will figure it out. Somehow. Maybe I should do some traveling on my own. Once the baby is here and everything is fine and safe.

Hm. I think no. Not this alone. But it is what I have become afraid, so very afraid of having lost it: hope. I have to admit though that the personal means are the ones I care about most right now. Might be wrong behaviour for a prince but I can’t change it right now.

I have given up this hope before and have been selfish. I think that’s what you called me once with respect to... to /her/. I only thought about the moment and doing what I can do for those that live, not those that might live in the future.

I... should change that. When the reasonable prince is being selfish and living for himself, maybe it’s time for the king to get his fucking ass up and do something for once.

And another new treasure to guard over. This is so breathtaking in so many ways, emotional in so many ways, changing everything in a way… I am not sure how to handle it. Or if I can at all.

I’m just wondering... is this it? Is this the chance our kind needs to not die? Can one child save us from dying out?

My. It’s like a dream. Still so unbelievable to me.

Can’t be long anymore. And then we have a new prince, my brother.

Hm, she is the one who I feel like should be made as comfortable as it gets. Just…I guess we’re ready. I guess we did everything. Now it’s just…waiting, I guess. You’ll wait with us?

She doesn’t really like me near the nest at the moment tho. If she comes out it’s all okay, but when she’s there, I better stay a bit away... But yes, I’ll wait with you.

And not even a warehouse full of cheese would change it the tiniest bit. Mostly I am… curious, I guess. I need to see this, I guess, to really get it :/

Can I, uh, help with anything? Until you can see and feel it... Him... her?
