Yeah! Will! Y'know, that's a great name. I'd like to have kids myself.. some day. Of course its easier for a guy to say that. He doesn't have to do all the hard work, right?

*Maggie studies Alex's face for a moment, then looks down once more* I know ... it must be hard for ye. Te want more and not be able te have it.
Still, ye have her in yer life ... *she seems almost to be talking to herself as much as to him* 'Tis a gift in and of itself.

*Alex chuckles*
Wow. Aren't you so very depressing all of a sudden. Look, babe. I don't have to be content with just having her in my life until I give up trying to have her in my life more. Don't get me wrong. Its not that I'm not glad for what I have, its just that there's no reason for me to not try to do more. The only time a cause is hopeless is when you give up on it, and I'm not the type who gives up so easily. I'll ask Tavin, and if that doesn't work, I'll find another way.

*maggie's answer caught him off guard. He hadn't realized how riled up he'd gotten. He took a deep breath and grinned again*
Hey, locks. You wanna go over this paper? I'm gonna go see if I can't scrounge up some food in this dump.

*Maggie blinks slightly at what he calls her, then eyes the newspaper for a minute* I could stand te practice my reading, if ye dinna mind me looking at it. Is it a story, as ye'd find in a book?

*Alex pauses, then laughs*
Yeah. It's all pretty much a work of fiction. Its a newspaper. Its filled with tiny articles about events going on currently. Hey... Is that a new room over there?
*Alex points towards the rec room*

Ahhh *Maggie takes that in, then looks over to where he's pointing* Oh, aye. There's all manner of strange things in there. Games, I believe, from close te Bard and Luke's times. Luke taught me one before . .. ping-pong? I think he called it.

Alright.. *Maggie watches him go, and then looks down toward the paper in her hands. She bites her lip pensively, looking through it more than at it for several minutes.*
*Eventually, though, she starts trying to read it. It's a bit unwieldy to hold, so she rests it flat on the table, flipping from page to page since most of the information is lost on her*

*Further into it, a picture catches her eye. Her brows draw together in puzzlement. She mouths the words beneath it to herself, but they only add to her confusion*

*Alex strolls back in practically beaming, his arms full*
Yo, curls! Look at all this great swag I got. Why don't you join me at the table I was at and we can get something set up here?
