Ch7 17
Well now, isn’t that convenient? Doesn’t know who her mom is.
Guess that means the bet is still on between Magnus and Seymour!
The tragedy of losing someone to child birth is something incredibly traumatic and I’d understand if Keenar never wanted to speak about it – as would anyone else who would ask.
It just seems too… Perfect. Doesn’t it?
Instructions: Open mouth. Insert foot
Magnus: Instructions unclear . . .
Time line issue here: Assuming Jefferson is Magnus’ oldest. And he was the last Lark…who was The Lark for 15 or so years it took for Jeffy boy to grow up? The Larkas Magnus couldn’t really have survived 15 years of being a Hero and avoiding willing ladies…even if it’d make his balls go boom.
There is a reason Magnus and Melinda live in the void. Mainly because it removes temptation from Magnus.
Of course, we’re going to find out that Magnus sneaks out, but that’s for future chapters!
May or may not be true, or it may be a convenient explanation for a mother’s absence that most people wouldn’t look too deeply at.
Are you implying that Keenar the Venerable would do something as underhanded as LIE about his only daughter’s mother!?
How dare you, sir!
Hey, he might have a perfectly valid reason for doing so, such as people knowing the mother’s identity being a potential danger to the mother, daughter, or himself. I’m not judging, merely observing. 😛
Interesting explanation it keeps Hass from asking too many questions and would make people uncomfortable enough to not ask anymore. Magnus being that exception, because he doesn’t understand boundaries.
Boundaries? Those are the things meant to be hurdled over, right?
He leaps talk buildings (and awkward questions) with a single bound! 😜
Yes, he is such a bounder
bummer
Well, clearly her mother was a succubus, how else would Has be able to withstand the might of Magnus’ irresistible charm, right? – I am truly surprised Magnus hasn’t already decided something like that in order to protect his bruised ego. XD
(And just to make it clear, I am not being serious about the succubus part, amusing as it might be, especially when Has’d discover that.)
Other extremely amusing, plausible and yet rather unlikely potential options for Has’ mother: Nana or Melinda. 😀
Hass took that question differently than I thought she would. Before I saw her reaction I figured Magnus was about to win his 500 rounds – in the barbed wire steel cage with her 🙂 Now let’s see if he shows any awareness of how sad he just made her.
Surprise, you’re a clone! He just didn’t quite get the details right while researching it and ended up creating a living baby girl instead of a genderbent simulacrum for his soul to inhabit.
His hand slipped and dropped in the X chromosome a second time instead of the Y. Could happen to anyone, but it gets really awkward at the annual archmage meeting. Especially if Jake is around with his tendency to clumsily hit on anything with two X chromosomes.
Unless it was intentional and he wanted to go after the ones that turned him down before.
There’s a rumour that Jake tried exactly that. Turned out that, despite what he thought, most of them were actually straight. They just didn’t like HIM.
I wonder if THE AUTHOR means Gremlins with Phoebe Cates telling the sad Christmas stories instead of Critters (I never watched any of the Critters films, though).
YES! I thought it was Gremlins, but I got confused and wrote Critters. I like how in the behind the scenes stuff, the writers wrote the original one as traumatic and then they just decided to keep going with tragic holidays in the sequel and cranked it up to 11.
What if Keenar was given her to take care of, or found her? Then we’re in the dark on both parents. This story about her mom could be a convenient blind.
Am I really that smart? Please don’t give me credit for such great ideas 🙂
Oi! Take whatever you can get!
I just wanna wrap Hasera up in a big, soft blanket of comfort…
I’m sure she’d enjoy that.
Too bad that is no where near what is planned for her.
Big, soft blanket OF DOOM!
You brute you brute you brute!!!!
Oh please. Flattery will get you nowhere 🙂
Man you forget the contraceptive spell one time and it always comes back to haunt you.
Baseless speculation because why not:
Keenar won’t talk about Hass’s mother, because the mother is … Keenar. Due to an unfortunate incident with a gender change spell, which he will not speak of ever again. It’s not a deep mystery, it’s just embarassing.
Never EVER to a Godspell orgy. You never know what’ll happen.
