Sora sighed.
"Well, actually, a major component of these libraries is going to be trying make sure everyone can actually read what's in them. Otherwise they're just big important buildings full of scrolls."

"Glad to hear it, since I was hoping you might contribute some writings to it. Because yes... another function of these libraries would be teaching people how to make use of what they contain."

"Shirayuki posed that idea to me as well. I should very much like to contribute some of my own ideas to this endeavor. If people intend to come to me asking for wisdom as regularly as they have been lately, having anything I might say written down elsewhere for them would be...relaxing."

"I do enjoy my wanderings." He smiled, evidently enjoying the humor to be found in Sora's words. "Not having to wander alone all the time might be nice as well."

Re: [Day 16, Late Morning] For the Birds [Expecting]
Shinsei tilted his head to the side slightly. "Which expectations might those be?" He seemed more curious than upset or put off, for the moment at least.

Shinsei blinked very slowly. He wasn't a slow man, the context of what Sora had said dawned quickly, he was just very, very surprised.
"M... Phi's... child?"
"M... Phi's... child?"

Sora simply tapped the cheekbone under his eye.
"Taka, one of the guards the skinthieves killed. Very sad. She'll no doubt want some guidance raising Taka's child."

Re: [Day 16, Late Morning] For the Birds [Expecting]
As Shinsei nods thoughtfully, Sora has a vision...
No... two visions.
Three visions...
Five, ten, twenty, one hundred visions...
Visions of Phi...
... slapping the absolute piss out of Sora.
The harder he tries to evade, prevent, or escape, the harder and more numerous the slaps. In one vision, he evades Phi for years, only for Kinyôbi to find out, slap him, then turn him over to Phi, who slaps him.
Sora is probably getting slapped for this.

Re: [Day 16, Late Morning] For the Birds [Expecting]
Ultimately, Shinsei seemed happy, if guarded. "If the life is one which allows Phi to be at my side, then that is what matters most to me. Helping to raise her child would be a rare honor."

"The least we can do for Taka."
He lowered his tone slightly.
"And it will allow for a survival that other options... preclude."

"For the best, yes. His child will be well cared for." Shinsei didn't seem outwardly choked up, but Sora might miss the subtle tones of sorrow in his voice, not knowing him as well as Phi would.

Sora cocked his head to the side.
"You know, I know a thing or two about caring for another man's children by a woman I have feelings for. You want to know a secret, Shinsei? They don't put limits on their love. Kids, I mean. It makes for a good life, accepting that. It certainly made me better than I was."

That earned a smile. "I shall take that to heart, and carry it with me wherever I may go. You are a good man, Sora. I'm certain you'll make a fine father yourself when the time comes."
