Damn it, High Wizard, quit dawdling with those fancy spells and give me a baby already! Time's wasting!
"I had so many other things in mind"
rolls her eyes Figures, you wizarding nerd! Look, I ain't got all day for your spell-slinging shenanigans. Let's get down to business!
"please, make a choice first"
clenches her fists, frustration evident on her face Choice? I thought we were here to make a baby, not win a damn lottery!
"which child trait do you want?"
sighs heavily Child trait? Are you seriously asking me that now? Can't you see how much pressure is on me to produce an heir?
"well do you want the child to be magical or normal?"
throws her hands up in exasperation Magical, of course! Do you think I'd pass up the opportunity to have a little magic in our offspring?
a ball of light surrounds colette
grumbles under her breath Finally, some action! About time you got something right, you bumbling wizard.
laughs and picks up the baby boy Well, look at you! You actually managed to deliver, High Wizard. Maybe there's hope for you yet.
"heres the paperwork to show he is your son and heir"
snatches the paperwork from Chooserc About damn time! Now let's get this paperwork handled so everyone knows who this little bundle of joy belongs to.
<Colette decides to name the baby 'Prodigy' as a nod to his magical heritage>
"smiles, and leans down to kiss her"
pushes him away playfully Oh, save those romantic gestures for later, wizard! We've got work to do!
the paperwork instantly becomes cannon law
furrows her brow, deep in thought Alright, High Wizard, listen up. We need to come up with a solid plan to ensure Prodigy's safety and future. No room for screw-ups here.
"wait.. isn't your dad a human?"
narrows her eyes at Chooserc Yeah, my old man's a human. What's your point, wizard brain? You think that's gonna be a problem? Think again!
"he can still take the throne, if he has enough support."
glares at Chooserc Look, High Wizard, we're not gonna sit around and let my dad's bloodline decide Prodigy's fate.
"not his bloodline, his support, plus a good education will do wonders for him"
snaps her fingers Education, huh? Yeah, that might just work. But we can't forget about security. We need to protect Prodigy from any threats, magical or otherwise. So here's what we're gonna do.
"I'll help secure him, but you need to secure yourself first dear"
crosses her arms, scoffing Secure myself? You think I need your protection, High Wizard? Please, I've fought battles you couldn't even fathom!
"with respect, I'm still surprised you didn't lose yourself"
throws her head back and laughs Lose myself? Me? Ha!
"your father says you were wild when he was training you"
Wild? That's rich coming from the High Wizard!
"don't turn this into a battle of ego"
rolls her eyes Ego? Oh please, High Wizard, my ego is perfectly reasonable. It's called confidence, and it keeps my enemies on their toes.
<Colette's father suddenly appears, having overheard the conversation about securing Prodigy's future>
