"Life is full of surprises. And I don't think if I'd call it a secret anymore. I've kept it close to my chest for a while, but I think it's time I stopped doing that." She shrugs. "Either way, that is why I'm considering adoption. It seems like the right choice."

"Oh. Not that."
"That you're more afraid of a new relationship than you are of fighting monsters." Now that was just a little mean Rein.
"Anyways, my opinion on the matter that you probably don't want but I'm a jerk, so I'm giving it anyways. I think adoption is an incredible choice. That way you know what you're getting. When you have your own kids, they either turn out terrible, or the parents are actually the terrible ones. Either way, it's a recipe for disaster and just stupid."
"Now, if you absolutely want your own kid for some reason, I'd recommend going out and finding whatever appeases you genetically and just doing it with him until you've got one. Don't bring love or marriage or any of that relationship nonsense into it. That's just messy and ugly. He's just a donor and that's that." Reinholdt shrugs a little.
"But as it is, I think you're making the right choice. I do wish you the best of luck with it."

"Well, thank you," Sophie says. "Just finding a one-night stand to get pregnant was never an option, though. My religion forbids sex before marriage." As weird as it sounds, it's actually true.

"Oh? Never took you for the religious type, what with the messengers who invaded your life with monsters."
"What religion?"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
"The Sacred Order of the Cunningham. We have a temple in Inside. It's a religion based on compassion, charity and good will," Sophie explains. "I joined it a little over a year ago."

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
"So what does compassion, charity, and good will have to do with sex before marriage?" Reinholdt asks.
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
"Sex is a sacrament that should be held between spouses," Sophie says. "We prefer not to treat it lightly."

Yuki can't help but smile as she watches the little orbs of light fly off. She heads over to the window to watch them for awhile longer.
"Thank you. I understand that sending those messages might be a long shot. But I guess I am willing to try anything. Will it take long for them to find other Illuminators?"

"Normally it would be a matter of hours," Lume said, pondering the question,
"but given the increased distance and difficulty of tracking... I'd say we should give it a few days. What would you like to do in the meantime?"

"I don't know, I think I may try reading up on amenisa for a bit. I was going to see if Quinn could help me."
She glances around the infirmary though and shrugs not seeing Quinn.
"I guess I will wait."

"Hmm." Reinholdt considers a particularly cynical reply, but bites his tongue. At one point a verrrrrry long time ago he would have agreed with her.
"I tried three or four religions since getting to the Nexus, but none of them stuck. Even considered joining that Vice church for a little while.

"I've never heard about that one," Sophie says. "And I'd never take you for the religious type either."

In that case, I shall check on Mackerel," he says, bowing slightly as he leaves her and goes over to Mackerel's bed.
"How is your recovery progressing, Mr. Mackerel?" Lume asks, reverting by instinct to the protocol he was trained to follow.

"Eh, he's alright on a personal level. Then I remembered he is an eldritch being and decided against it. Tricky thing, those." Reinholdt shudders, remembering the faceless horror he once dealt with.
"And really? You don't think I'd devote myself wholely to a cause?" Rein's tail twitches bemusedly. "I'll have you know I was once a full fledged paladin." A measly first level one, granted. But the bonuses to his saves were off the charts for a short time.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!

"Hmmm." Now that Sophie thinks of it... she can see Reinholdt doing this. He's desperate for a purpose, deep down. "A holy warrior? Of what kind of deity?"
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
Probably the most succinct description of Reinholdt I've seen. Good thing he never ran into anyone like the Human Supremists' Charlie.
"Anterion. I think he was part of a pantheon, but I didn't ask much about the rest. Phoenix can tell you more, if you've met him. Or he could, if he didn't disappear like pretty much everyone else." You'll disappear too Sophie. Just a matter of time.
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
"Oh. Hm. No, I've never met him, I think. I understand you don't want to talk about it yourself," Sophie says. Looks like yet another traumatic event from Reinholdt's past.
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
Reinholdt scowls a little. "Who said I don't want to talk about it?" Gee Rein. Maybe the fact that you didn't even tell her what the god was of was a hint?

"You didn't tell me anything about the god except for his name and directed me to someone who isn't around anymore," Sophie says. "I took it to mean you don't want to dwell on the subject."
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
"Well what else did you want to know?" And Reinholdt was more secretly hoping Sophie had Phoenix stashed in her closet or just out of sight or something.
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
"What he was a god of, for instance," Sophie says.
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
"Right." Reinholdt says, his tail twitching with nervous embarrassment. "He was the god of *HACK*Love*COUGH*." Man, those poorly timed hairballs. What can you do?
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
Sophie actually looks surprised. "Love? What made you pick this kind of god?"
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!
[Maple Cabin]
Drats. She heard him.
"I was young and stupid, ok?!" Reinholdt snaps.
"I thought maybe after everything had happened with my ex-wife and Shepherd and everything, that I had found love again. We were even going to try for some more kids. For real that time, too. So I signed up to become a paladin cause I thought I was happy and love and other utter nonsense, blah blah blah, etc. etc. Thank Anterion it didn't last long." Reinholdt's nothing but scowls now and he's looking out away from Sophie to find some distraction or excuse to leave.
-
Re: [Nexus] GLoG 84: Goblins and catgirls and dryads, oh my!

Sophie shakes her head. Looks like she's found yet another of Reinholdt's deep-seated issues.
"I understand," she says.

Well, seeing as Marty wouldn't have moved and just stood there staring, it was probably a good move. Oh...um....okay...I d-didn't...well...I h-hope it'll b-be okay.. Marty is marched! Still confused.

But there's just so many!
Anyways Rein doubts Sophie really understands, even if she has some inkling. "Yeah, well I think I see a shirtless Tobias over there beckoning me for some alone time. See you."
Unless Sophie wants to keep Reinholdt longer for some reason he'll go bounding across the snow, turning pink with each leap to keep him from sinking in the snow again.

And there it is, Cherry Cabin. And somewhere to the left is the room where Vidalia usually can be found. Usually.

Marty moves to knock on the door slowly, almost hesitating. He finally knocks and breathes in deeply. Hello? M-Miss V-Vidali....V-Vida...Vidalia? A-Are y-you h-home? Marty's nervous.
