My greatest accomplishment has to be this. I can think of no other that can ever top this, other than when my friend Wily's cubs were born and I was the midwife. It's been so long since I last entertained the idea of being a parent. With two more on the way, the house is fixing to be less quiet (but also less lonely).
And yes, Poppy's quite the lovely little lady. We're certain she's gonna' grow up to be a little heartbreaker with those diamond eyes of hers - a creeper's favorite color, how can one resist that? Even now her innocent gaze is enthralling.
Meanwhile, I think I already have a capable female on hand to bail me out when the last two kids finally hatch. Mira's always had strong maternal instincts. She absolutely adores children. I don't think I'll have much problem in terms of having a babysitter to watch my children whenever I have to leave the house. Still... it... would be nice to find myself a mate, but... I just don't know. I've been through it once before and it didn't go well. In fact it ended so abysmally I never so much as considered trying again. And what would I be able to provide for them? I'm a hermit and a writer. A gardener for pete's sake, I'm not a fighter by nature. Hell, my aggro mode is mainly one big scare tactic! I... I just don't know. What ender, male or female, would want an odd-colored recluse like me?
I think I'm better off with the family I've got... yeah... I-It would be nice, but I'm not what anybody has in mind. Trust me.
