Sorry for my prolonged silence - all the family and relationship debates were a bit too overwhelming.
Durelin, I am happy to adopt you if you wish. Not sure how I feel about having given birth to twins (it seems painful and confusing to me), but it would undoubtedly be nice for Lhuna to have someone else to blame for stealing cookies and terrorising the guinea pigs. If you poison them, though, I will be forced to disown you.
And indeed, I am not husbandless, but Nilp and I do seem to be orphans.
Mod-fire, hurrah!
