trigons_childWith all the time differences between Fandom and Glacia, not to mention time spent in other worlds, keeping track of just what day it was could just be asking for a headache. So Raven was very much surprised when one of the staff told her she had visitors, and even more surprised when she went outside and found the wagon and its occupants waiting for her, bearing birthday gifts.
Much later, after making certain that all her visitors had full stomachs and a place to spend the night, Raven retreated to one of the Estate's sitting rooms, Philia curled at her feet. She clutched some of her presents to her chest as she read and re-read the letters from the children. She wasn't crying. The sitting room was just dusty, that was all.

"But as much as I'd love a little dark-haired munchkin with a chakra running around the estate, there are a few, umm, prerequisites that need handling first. Like the conception, if you're not going to adopt."

"I understand you wanting someone you care for and trust, but--" It was just as much a kick in the balls as it was asking to use them. She shook her head. "That's a pretty deep tangle of issues right there."
