Linx scratched his ear with one paw while looking at Zahi from an angle. He spoke almost inappropriately casually. "What, would you... Rather I ask you directly? I mean, would that have more, you know, effect?"

"I think you said all you needed to about it... I already figured out what you were saying."
Keeping eye contact with Linx this time, she sighed again.
"But if you want to be more direct, then go ahead, I'm not about to stop you asking directly."

"I'd like it if you were the one to continue my bloodline," Linx complied flatly. The way he said it was intentionally worded to emphasize the part of it that truly mattered to him. It wasn't 100 percent necessary of Zahi, and he wouldn't mind if she refused; moreover, it was the child he wanted, not the extra intimacy. He already had that.

"I'd be happy to help, but I've already got a concern about what would happen... And I mean a concern that has two years on me."

"What? Come on. What objection could he have?" Linx could think of a few. However, he could just as easily think of rebuttals for all of them. "Actually... Uh... I'd better talk to him first, shouldn't I? I wouldn't want him to make an attempt on my life and lose his own like he would if he did so."

"Which is part of my resevation... It depends on what his answer is as well... I mean, he might not like the idea at all... You know?"

"It does. Let's... Ask him before we... Can we go back to the fort now? I'm going back to the fort," Linx concluded, realizing that he didn't actually have to ask Zahi whether they could return or not. He promptly began walking in the opposite direction he'd initially been going in. "I know he's there."

"I wouldn't... He's kinda busy with cleaning at the moment... It's not wise to disturb him while he's working like that..."

"Cleaning," Linx repeated, still walking. "He's... Cleaning. OK, there's a chance he'll be done when we return, unless he's... Cleaning your entire house. And if that's the case and he's truly insane, then could you just... Ask him, when he's done, to talk to me?"

"You know what he's like... I asked him to clean the main room... Knowing him, he'll have done that, had a drink, and then started on another room by now."
Sighing dispiritedly, Zahi looked back towards the fort's direction.
"I'll ask him to talk to you, yes."

"Please do. I need to speak with him, just... Get the idea in the air and make sure he doesn't blast it out of it. OK?" It was Linx's one shot at keeping his life from turning into an embodiment of death, which would be what, in the end, truncated his bloodline. "I wouldn't ask you if I didn't need it."

"I know..."
Sighing again, Zahi flashed a quick smirk before continueing.
"I mean, you must be getting desperate, asking the wife of one of your best friends..."

"You ever consider the fact that I don't know any appropriately aged females? Of course, you're also the mother of my mate once removed, but... At least you aren't my mate once removed. Who's already pregnant, by the way," Linx added, keeping exact pace with Zahi. It was actually more awkward this way, but in his mind, he had little choice. "But I don't know anyone."

"I guess that's where I have an edge... I know others of all ages and both genders."
Shaking her head slightly playfully, Zahi could see the fort in the distance.
"I know my daughter's pregnant... I've known the day she found out."

"Well, good for you, we all do... At least that's no secret. But really. What are we gonna do? If you get him to talk to me and I get him to give consent to our procreation... What do we do? Not like that," Linx sighed. He didn't want a sarcastic description of the actual impregnation procedure. What he wanted was an idea of the future.
