[she pauses, looking sheepish. She didn't really mean to get so worked up over it.]

I don't know about...wrong, but...it's a man and a woman that have children together. So that's sort of what's expected. I guess that can't really...stop you from liking who you like, though. But people want their bloodlines to continue, don't they? So they'd want to have children.

[she stops abruptly, because those are loaded words for her. Did she want her bloodline to continue? The last Gardios...it was definitely expected of her, the way the Council seemed to disapprove of the fact she hadn't married yet. But the idea of marrying just any man wasn't exactly something she looked forward to.]

[she shakes her head a bit.]

Strange is just...strange. It doesn't have to mean bad.
