#and then those baby animals bring *their* babies to halsin and the cycle continues

[ride-a-dromedary]

I like to think that when animals in the Grove had babies around springtime, the lot of them would bring them to Halsin first if they were inclined to bring them to anyone - like a cat taking her kittens to the human she trusts most to show them off.

And he would appropriately marvel at them and congratulate the mothers, or gently tease the new parents that they've responsibilities now, always with the softest murmur of awe in his voice, because no matter how many times he has been firsthand witness to new life over the centuries, it is always a blessed thing, and their trust means the world to him.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #Halsin #'oh well done he looks just like you' #halsin play wrestling new baby bears and kissing little velvet muzzles of fawns and offering his hair to the nests with newly born chicks #and cradling wolf pups while listening to their mother boast about them #and chuckling when little field mice and squirrels crawl their way up from his palms #i'm soft okay #and then those baby animals bring *their* babies to halsin and the cycle continues #just a century of generations #of little ducklings in a row #it also fueled his baby fever something awful
