[q]Good, I'll make sure that the secondary suite is suitably arranged for you, maybe.. allow some dandelions to grow in the window box.[q] So it was a bit of a tease, but honestly, having the back and forth, making plans, it was… calming. Kaczor felt calm about this for the first time since she had been told to basically shut up and allow this one to happen.
[q]The rooms are conjoined, so if you need anything in the middle of the night, or where something to happen, I would be there the moment you'd need to handle any magic.[q] Her lips fell into a semi-smile, not a full one, but it wasn't a fake one either, the corners of her eyes slightly creased, one a bit closed more than the other. It was something that had always been somewhat of a trademark for her – her smile made one eye almost fully close, to where it looked somewhat like a cheeky wink. It was, what it was, androgen features, trying to find a way to rest that didn't look horrible. It had always been a part of her face. Even before she'd had her chin reshaped to be softer, less square.
[q]I'm not sure I'd thank me yet, I'm a hell of a person to be around in the mornings.[q] Then again, she did enjoy mornings, she just was more an nightowl. [q]I like to do the majority of my work in the quiet hours of the evening. So I can enjoy the afternoon light more.[q]
When Ella asked about children, Kaczor paused, wondering if she could even trust the woman enough to reveal all of herself to her. And try as she did to want to be able to, there was something there that kept her from speaking truly in that moment. [q]We'll be expected to produce an heir, so I expect at least one. Did you want more than that? I'm not opposed to more children outside of what we're obligated to produce to satisfy our arrangement, but I would have to insist you carry them. And they be loved. No shipping them off to boarding school, or shoving them in a quiet wing of the manor with a nanny, but being actual parents. I know for those in our standings, that's not really a familiar thing. To not be pawned off on school, or the nannies. But it is something I'm quite adamant about.[q]
Kaczor blinked. She had been more honest in that moment that she had intended to be, she hadn't expected it to be such a intricate part of her own feelings on the entire arrangement. There would be no children if they could not be loved and cared for by their actual parents.
Kaczor would willingly let both lines die with them if that couldn't be agreed upon, she realized, moving over to the bench Ella sat on and sitting down next to her, shoulders slightly rounded, even if it was hard to seem smaller in her six foot frame. [q]I hope that's not too terribly shocking for you, my brother and I were quite blessed that our parents had a more active style of parenting than many of my peers in school. Blessed. And at times cursed too.[q]
That winky-smile returned then, as she paused. [q]Will you want companion animals? I feel a House isn't complete without a few hounds, and some mousers.[q]
