Phone Call to Apollo

Dorian? Do you have time to talk?

Always, my dear. What do you wish to know?

First off, is everyone okay up there? Have they recovered?

I think so, yes. Bit of a scare we had, when even I couldn't fix things.

I can imagine. Being wounded by the snake was hard, but this was the most helpless I've felt. Gave me a lot of time to go over my regrets.

I'm sure we all did a lot of reflecting. So. What flashed before your eyes, love?

A lot, but two things in particular stood out. I haven't been as much of a leader as I should be for my people and that has to change. The second..the idea of dying without having any children again.

Isn't Sif helping you? She always seemed eager for that job.

...let me guess. You called me about the latter there?

She has, but she shouldn't have to. It's my responsibility.

She chuckles once.

I did. Could you recommend someone to be a potential father?

Depends. Are you looking for a husband, or just a stud?

I was teasing you, Dorian. You know full well I think of you more highly than a "stud".

Her tone was admonishing, but gentle.

While I would like a husband, I respect you too much to force that on you.

So, what, exactly are you wanting of me?

I want to take you up on the offer you made me some time ago. To be the father of my child or children. I know how much you care for your children so I don't need to ask that you be they for any offspring we have.
