"Parents should name their kids and feed them and get them clothes and stuff. They shouldn't kill their kids if they don't absolutely have to, which we won't, and should teach them how to function in the world. They shouldn't make them do things without a good reason and they should never make them do horrible things like school.

Kids should obey their parents unless their parents aren't doing all of that stuff."

"Seems workable. For how long? If they don't have a fairy debt that tells you when they've paid it off."

"...fifteen, maybe? Sixteen?"

"Hm. I guess I think it probably depends on when the specific kid can support themselves. Probably wouldn't metaphorically push anybody out of the nest until after nineteen, if they were still figuring things out. Maybe not ever, if we have the demiplane. But fifteen sounds like a good age for when things might start to not work the way they work for kids."

"Oh, yeah, if they wanna keep living with us they should get to."

"Okay. New heading. ...it's probably important for a general questionnaire to include stuff about finances but I think our financial plan is mostly magic."

"The catacombs probably won't pay as well now that they don't have zombies."

"Yeah. Uh, I guess maybe I should ask if you're ever gonna want a job? Or whether it's important for you to have money and stuff that you don't have to ask me for?"

"You mean, like, if we ever got separated? I guess I should maybe wear something valuable I could sell? I think I could live in the woods, though."

He's so cute. "I was thinking more, like, some people don't like having to ask every time they need something and prefer having a stash of money or something they can just use without anybody caring. I guess there's not much reason not to give you one even if you don't care at all. Unless you for some reason actively object to this."

"I guess it sounds like it'd be useful if you were really busy?"

Snuggle. "Okay. Before we head out tomorrow I can make some stuff to sell to a pawn shop or something."

"Sounds good."

"Okay. Hmm. I feel like the Osirians are going to benefit from being asked questions about gender roles, but I'm not sure fairies... have those."

"Most courts are run by women, because the kids are theirs?"

"Huh. I'm glad to know there is some standard somewhere by which some of the things I am doing are at all traditional."

Giggle. "Uh, I don't know if there's anything else. I've heard that women like meat more. I've heard that men like alcohol more. I've heard that men who can do whatever they want tend to have more slaves than women who can do whatever they want, because normally men like variety more and women like expertise more?"

"I have heard... some things that are vaguely similar to those things? I think they're probably not very important for forming expectations of how things'll be when we're married. ...I guess I have some sensibilities about gender roles but I think in my actual life they are probably going to end up being pretty cosmetic."

"What're those -"

"Umm, the part of my brain that mostly thinks in narratives I heard before age twelve or so thinks that men are stronger and have fewer breaks in their careers, so they should keep their families safe and provide for them and make sure the people close to them feel safe, and then some stuff that's mostly cosmetic anyway about, like, what you wear when you're going to a fancy party or who does what when people are doing formal dancing. ...I guess I kind of also maybe think that men like sex more and are more likely to be violent offenders and more likely to be top mathematicians and maybe some other things. But I don't know if those are actual role things. Just, like, differences."

Nodnodnod. 

Snuggle. 

"Okay. I guess I can write up some more detailed gender questions for the Osirians but I think we probably don't need to bother. Hm. ...I again feel like a general questionnaire should have some stuff about how we're going to run a household and again feel like our answers are mostly going to have to do with magic."

"Yeah. We will live in magic houses and get magic food and use magic for cleaning. I'll do stuff if that doesn't cover it, obviously."

"Okay. I think... normally I would feel weird about leaving you to do all of the surplus chores but given the goddess thing and how many problems the multiverse has this is probably a sensible division of labor."

"You should probably have more servants, really. But I'll do my best."
