Maybe he should have gone.
No no no. Thinking in what-ifs is no good.
He nodded again. "Well, if that's the case, it cannot be helped." Frankly, there was a part of him that was relieved she wasn't raring to go. He was still uncomfortable with the idea of planning to have children, but he could also rest assured now that they would not happen accidentally (outside of a land pae'il's party). It was all the same to him if they never came or if they came tomorrow... though he might have preferred their comfortable lives without children over the alternative. It was far more fun to play with someone else's kid and then send them back home than to be the one they were returning to - it was far less of a responsibility. That said, he probably couldn't walk himself out of it from this point without looking the food.
"Shall I leave it to you then?" He looked over with a boyish grin. "I have been doing things on the assumption they would happen eventually, so what difference is there if they come from a surprise at Las Venus, naturally with time, or from a potion when you feel the time is right?" His grin slightly twisted into a smuggier look as he added, "And we have all the time in the world to 'practice' until then."
