A lot. While he's generally rather shy around new people (Especially women), he's not as much any more. He's gained quite a bit of confidence.
Despite his shyness, he LOVES his children and his lover with all of his heart and he would push away any shy inclinations to help them. In any way. He's a very maternal little man.

Patrick is a snarky, sarcastic man - who adores his children. He is Mordread's lover and they're basically inseperable. While legally many of the children belong to one or the other - In every other way, they share them.
Iamel is Patrick's first son. A Guardian of Death. To be more specific, Explosions. He's very possessive over Patrick (and is warming up to Mordread).
A hyper sweet heart to say the least. Akuti is a satyr and a superstition. She's the second child Patrick ever got, and adores both her parents with all of her little heart. Mordread calls her his Aphrodite.
Quite honestly, the quietest of the White/King household. Yashima is Inari's messenger reborn and absolutely despises getting any part of him dirty. He was Patrick's third child.
Akilah is a hyperactive punk meerkat who despises Mordread with an absolute passion. He has a tendancy to claw his way up things - including his parent's leg. The household is split on liking this little boy.
Penelope is pure candy coated evil wrapped in cuteness. She's bouncy, hyper, and worst of all - she likes getting her way. And she'll stop at basically nothing to get it.
She was born from a Marshmallow Peep. In her past life she tried to take over the government.
Oh yeah - she likes computers and chocolate.
Lahela is another one of Mordread's angels. She's one of the many birds in the family and likes to snap her beak at things. Other than that - she seems rather affectionate. Unless she bites you.
An angry, biting little baby who people should fear. Enough said.
Rothe is a charming, quiet, and VERY possessive little boy. If he sees something he likes, it's his. And only his. Someone tries to take it? They're likely to lose something very important to them to his teeth. Or, like Kian, get a block to the head.

Kingfishers are birds of the three families Alcedinidae (river kingfishers), Halcyonidae (tree kingfishers), and Cerylidae (water kingfishers). There are about 90 species of kingfisher. All have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. They are found throughout the world.
The taxonomy of the three families is complex and rather controversial. Although commonly assigned to the order Coraciiformes, from this level down confusion sets in.
The kingfishers were traditionally treated as one family, Alcedinidae with three subfamilies, but following the 1990s revolution in bird taxonomy, the three former subfamilies are now usually elevated to familial level; a move supported by chromosome and DNA-DNA hybridisation studies, but challenged on the grounds that all three groups are monophyletic with respect to the other Coraciiformes; which leads to them being grouped as the suborder Alcedines.
The tree kingfishers have been previously given the familial name Dacelonidae but Halcyonidae has priority. This group derives from a very ancient divergence from the ancestral stock.
Kingfishers live in both woodland and wetland habitats. The Laughing Kookaburra, at 45 cm the world's largest kingfisher, is a woodland bird, while the European Kingfisher Alcedo atthis is always found near fresh water.
Kingfishers that live near water hunt small fish by diving. They also eat crayfish, frogs, and insects. Wood kingfishers eat reptiles. Kingfishers of all three families beat their prey to death, either by whipping it against a tree or by dropping it on a stone.
They are able to see well both in air and under water. To do this, their eyes have evolved an egg-shaped lense able to focus in the two different enviroments.
This bird is the official bird for Halifax Regional Municipality.
The Old World tropics and Australasia are the core area for this group. Europe and North America north of Mexico are very poorly represented with only one common kingfisher (European and Belted Kingfishers respectively), and a couple of uncommon or very local species each: (Ringed Kingfisher and Green Kingfisher in south Texas, Pied Kingfisher and White-breasted Kingfisher in SE Europe).
Even tropical South America has only five species plus wintering Belted Kingfisher. In comparison, the tiny African country of The Gambia has eight resident species in its 120 by 20 mile area.
The six species occurring in the Americas are four closely related green kingfishers in the genus Chloroceryle and two large crested kingfishers in the genus Megaceryle, suggesting that the sparse representation in the western hemisphere evolved from just one or two original colonising species.
