[crownless]

we never really talked about it
but for a long time we've lived apart

[sure, it's for her safety and the kids' safety, but...]

right before i arrived, i saw her for the first time in months

[lumberlady]

live apart does not make not wife...
if you no grant divorce then still is wife by technical

[uh oh her 1620 is showing]

but she
no want to see TRAVIS?

[crownless]

yeah i know
we haven't gotten that part figured out yet

[and also it's easier if they don't because you can't testify against your spouse in california, WEW...]

it's complicated
but
yes
it's for the better for a lot of reasons

[whether or not he can tell her it's a question of personal safety yet-- assassins on both their tails, as always-- is something to worry about for later.]

[lumberlady]

[oh... well, she knows a "not wanting people to pry" answer, and honestly, understandable...]

i apologize

to ask complicated thing.

[crownless]

it's okay
maybe one of these days i'll be able to explain

you're a really kind person, konoha... i'm grateful we got to meet here.

[lumberlady]

at TRAVIS 's leisure
is fine
to not know every thing about every person
i understand

i feel same.

[crownless]

thank you
for always understanding

[he doesn't know what else to say, but he does have another picture for her: this time, Jeane's with a boy of the same age who's the spitting image of Travis. They're posed with a fat gray tabby cat, grinning wide; the boy's missing a front tooth.]

finally. here's one of hunter.

[lumberlady]

[oh...............]

is precious image
son is so alike father
you must be additional proud

[crownless]

yeah, i really am
both of them are good kids

even if things havent always been easy...
i'm glad theyre mine
it's still worth it

[lumberlady]

yes
child that is wanted
some time even child that is not
is always worth it

[crownless]

[yeah... even if his were totally accidents, he agrees wholeheartedly.]

haha, yes. even then
what about you konoha? have you always wanted kids?

[lumberlady]

yes
human parent adopt i
was once big family before war
then only three
i want to give big family again when child even
job before adult and lumber yard i do child minding in village

no know why but
i always is liking children

[crownless]

no way? i had no idea your adopted parents were human
I'm sorry about your birth family, too

[he makes a mental note to ask more about that 'war' later...]

I grew up a single child so i never really had that. but i totally see why you'd wanna have a big family again. [not that he doesn't have siblings, but that's a very long story for another day.] were you one of the older siblings or one of the younger ones?

[lumberlady]

yes parents who raise is human

[and at first she's confused but- oh wait no she sees what happened]

apologize, is confusing
i only single child
because
big family was human parent 's blood family
was big before war
by time finding i, is only parents left
then i join

so
perhaps i become "most young" member?

[crownless]

oh! I see what you're saying
i guess you are the youngest then, haha.

i was gonna say that it's usually the oldest who wants to take care of all the little ones, but maybe youve just got a nurturing personality

[lumberlady]

yes i be baby of family

but also i think at same time this mean i am also most old so
is still true?

TRAVIS have sibling?

[crownless]

lol, yes - oldest AND youngest
and
well... i said i was raised as an only child, but i do have a brother

[and a sister, though the memory of the original jeane is so painful he'd rather not bring her up so casually.]

i didnt realize i had a sibling until i was already an adult
henry likes to think he's the older one but since we're twins it hardly matters
we don't really look alike either

[lumberlady]

has twin!
TRAVIS 's world like i 's?
practice to raise twin apart?

[crownless]

not usually, but we were
jinba twins are raised apart?

[lumberlady]

i never see or hear of jinba twin
but in human village they do
raise apart or
just raise one
so one do not steal strength from other
but i think is just old wife story

i am sure you 's twin s is not doing.

[crownless]

to be honest i never knew why
but we both wound up swordsmen in the end
he and i are almost perfectly matched...
so maybe some part of that old superstition was true

[like hell he'd ever let henry steal his thunder, much less his strength]

[lumberlady]

you no was raised together but both become swordsman?
sounding like fate...

[crownless]

the entire atlantic ocean between us and we still learned the sword, totally independent of other?
i think it has to be fate
a lot of things thatve happened to me feel that way

[lumberlady]

other fate thing happen also?

[crownless]

yeah
things like... showing up at just the right place and time to run into someone who changes my whole life
getting out of life-or-death situations more than once, cause of coincidences
hell, coming here and meeting the people i've met

it's hard to explain it
maybe i'm reading into it all too much
