Sevet is of the belief that children always should pick their bedtime stories. But he is always glad to tell this story. The story of lake Milliways.
for certain definitions of 'family', 'reunion' and 'one'. (Young graysondad meets other Graysondads)
to his children
"Solid life goal."
He lets Sevet take another bite.
"Most of us have six children between three spouses. Mostly wives."
"Sounds nice. I don't need a wife. I will be able to change shape and be a girl and get babies all by myself."
to his children
"It sounds nice, but most of us don't end up very happy for it. Not the spouses. Not ourselves. Not the children."
to his children
"Most of us that screw up. Do it so because we can't stand having just a one partner to be with. And while we love that partner, they doesn't let us have what we want, even if they are not being pushy to us about it."

"You don't actually need to. Sometimes it can just happen to us. Grayscale over there," he indicates with his head, "didn't, instead fate just conspired for him to forget his first wife and have kids with his new husband."
to his children
"That much I don't know kiddo. Fate? I don't think it's impossible to bit, but I am the lucky one. In my world I am openly encouraged to seek out extra-marital pursuits and have tons of kids."
to his children
"Aw, I wish it was that easy for every one of us. And even I have caused some family-related disappointments. Though, they are harder to explain."
