Would he? And how does he and some of your other characters feel about parenthood?

Me and my random ass questions sorry

This is good questions that matters.

No - Neal would not want to be a parent. He would do it if he had to, but he wouldn't choose it. He feels he shouldn't get too close to anyone so they can't see the mistakes in his behaviors or point to his issues that he fears will be blamed on the fact he's not the species he's "pretending to be". And he doesn't want to have a child learn any of those or suffer anything similar or end up judging him too. But what he will actually tell you and does apply as well would be him just 'not really having the desire to sire someone into the adulthood', teaching is already enough pain.

Sawmimat probably thought about it a lot before Ciwa. It was expected of her, and she was "ready". But looking back, she just sees the stress of it. I don't think she feels about it as strongly as Neal (or at least with less baggage). She sees her future more likely be an eunuch life than childcare.

Fueem - "yuck, do I look like a nurture freak" - They are probably going to be a parent.

Bio man - He does not want to be. He would rather reach his heights. With how he sees himself, it's hard to see him be good with the lives of others much. But I feel he would be very caring and careful if it were to happen.

And to be an artist, you have to know who you are.

We use the expression butterfly for a man who flies from flower to flower. A man such as yourself could be a quite successful butterfly.

1. Wake up earlier than others.

2. Start making tea or have a little walk or just stress about work

3. Greet your chamber neighbors, welcome the assistants that you don't have sleeping by your side because you are too insecure to be perceived too vulnerable

4. Prepare your lessons, make some visuals. Have the class invited in.

5. Work it work it work it, teach those fellows about what you think is true

6. Commune with other witchteachers, have some food and talk classwork plans. Perhaps visit the higher chambers to talk new students and fancy slop.

7. Go to your place. Or better, go see the gardens. You don't mind the darkness of the hour as much.

He ain't so silly.

Neal is a serious man with a serious serious.

But he may silly it up to lighten the mood. He has done some dancing in his time, breaking some spine perhaps, he can tell a bad boomer joke, making a cringe perhaps.
