"They always do this around this time of year... And always in the two weeks leading up to my birthday... You don't think they're planning something do you?"
Unlike Linx, Zahi didn't like being kept in the dark about things. Scerets were what had torn her family apart when she was young, which left her afraid of secrecy.

"What, you mean like something bad? I doubt it. They're you're family, and you guys, as far as I can tell, don't hate one another. Chances are, they have something good in store for you." As much as Linx didn't mind not knowing everyone's secrets, he had to wonder what it was they were doing. Perhaps he could ask it from Lars, or indirectly from Amathyst through Archon. "Don't... Don't worry about it."

"I guess... It's just that secrets tore my family apart while I was a young girl... It's not something I want to have happen again..."
As much as she wanted to know what Raiden and her two kids were planning, she was also scared of finding out what they were planning because of what it might be.

"Come on. Don't be so paranoid, Zahi!" Linx gave her a playful, light punch on the arm. He didn't do that often, but it did seem fitting right then to do so. Zahi was just being... Impossible. "They're all good beasts. They aren't plotting to kill you on your birthday or anything. It won't be happening again, OK? Besides, it's not like they're hiding a vice from you, they're hiding a surprise from you and you'll learn it in time. But it won't be bad."

"I'm trying not to be, but it's just something that has haunted me for years..."
They say talking about a problem made it better, and it was something Zahi could believe then... That was until Linx's playful punch to her arm, prompting her to push him back just as playfully.

Linx didn't budge upon feeling Zahi's putting pressure on him. He looked at her with an incredulous smile. "No, no, it's me doing the hitting, because when I do it, I tend to make beasts kinda move... You know how it is. Is this the part where we get really unconventional?" This was a joke on his part. Hopefully, it would be taken that way.

"Depends on what you mean by move... And by unconventional as well."
Smiling a bit, Zahi was starting to forget her earlier worries as the sunlight washed over the pair agin from the trees above.

"By move, I mean... Well, that was referring to buckling when being struck. And by unconventional, uh... What kind of question is that?" Linx laughed and glanced up at the silhouettes of the leaves above him, obscuring the glaring bright sky behind them. It was, for once, a peaceful day on a peaceful forest path. "I was gonna talk serious."

"Serious? In summer? That's about as sensible as Rai actually being smart all day every day."
Smiling again, Zahi looked around for a moment.
"Of cause, serious isn't always a bad thing.

"Well, I do have a life to maintain..." Linx sighed and put his paws in his pockets. He always did that whenever he was getting to something he'd been thinking about for a significant length of time. "And make new lives with, I hope."

"You're refering to what happended in the ballon huh?"
Zahi was reminded of what had happened a few months ago when Linx had landed a giant ballon in the market square, and she had gotten a ride in it... Along with something else too.

"That provoked a lot of thinking on my part," Linx sighed. "I know I have a pretty busy life, but... I can outsource my work, I already did my big inventing. I'd be OK with being a parent now. Seriously." Having descendants was one of his primary goals. If his bloodline couldn't be continued, the only way to remember him would be in death that he caused.

"I can guess it did... I know I had to think about what I wanted to do after I found out I was pregnant..."
Sighing, Zahi looked towards the sky, as if for insperation.

"Which you didn't, of course, but it..." Linx looked at Zahi's eyes and found that he wasn't getting much eye contact back. It was just a bit annoying to have to speak to someone who wasn't looking at him. "Well, I realized afterwards that I'd like that to happen, actually... Pity I'm not with any females."

"It's a real barrel of fun I can tell you."
Actually looking back to Linx, Zahi sighed.
"Are you asking inderctly what I think you are?"
