Salutations

And doods because why not-

Adeline wants one perfect, beautiful only child. She feels she’d be the best parent she can be if she’s able to focus on developing one little human to the best of her ability. She’s also really busy. She ALSO doesn’t want to complicate any matters of inheritance, since she will be the next Baron. One kid is ideal. 

If you’d asked Balor this question before he came to Mistria, the answer would be a hard ZERO. He has changed his mind in light of his new circumstances (married to the love of his life and not living in a cart). He’s kinda flexible on number but he does want at least one. He thinks two sounds about right!

Caldarus he does not have a specific number in mind, but he would love to give you children and raise a family together.Maybe two or three young, only since that seems to be the average for human couples? He won’t deny you if you want more, and he won’t argue if you only want one. He doesn’t concern himself with human concepts of what makes a family “too big” or “too small.” That said, if it’s up to him…he’d somewhat prefer the former. 

In her daydreams, Celine always saw herself with one or two children. She doesn’t want a whole pack of little ones running around, despite being a very family-oriented gal. She wants to be able to give each of her children a lot of individual attention…aaaand she expects they’ll be unholy terrors in their early years just like her and Dell. So she’d like to keep the number small. 

Eiland did not necessarily see himself as a father throughout his early life, but he’s also always known he would be a pretty good one. He comes around to the idea more and more the longer he’s with you. He kind of just wants one, but he’s totally open to more...to an extent. He doesn’t think he could handle more than three. That’s so many little ones to be keeping track of in the field. That’s too many little feet that could fall in a hole on a dig site. He would like a number of children he could carry in his arms if need be.

Hayden is the ultimate future father. He makes it very clear from the start that he’s always wanted a *big* family. If his partner can’t have biological children, that’s fine, but in that case Hayden WILL want to pursue adoption. He might suggest this even if you can get pregnant, because he knows that carrying a child is hard on the body, and you’ll need to stay on your feet to keep up with the Hayden Horde. He just loves kids. He’s aiming for five or six. 

March pretends he doesn’t want kids for a while. Acts SUPER uptight about birth control and family planning. Then one day, he realizes that if you have kids together, you basically can’t leave Mistria (and him) behind. This is extremely appealing to Mr. Abandonment Issues. Once he starts, he realizes that he loves being a dad and he's good at it, so you wind up having like….five kids. 

NONE, says Juniper. Having her own children is not really part of her plan. She’s more the cool fun witchy auntie type…but she has a secret soft spot for kiddos. If she gets knocked up, it will be by accident, but she’ll be surprisingly positive about it—she gets her own mini-me! She also won’t be particularly remiss about having no kids. She gets pestered by other peoples’ children often enough. 

Reina  has always wanted a family and she has always wanted exactly three children, just like how she grew up. She won’t be terribly upset if a fourth kid slips into the mix somehow. She would like them all to be closer in age than she is to Luc and Maple, though. Reina does not want one of her children to wind up becoming a sort of “third parent” to the younger ones, since that kiiiind of happened with her.
