"Introducing a caretaker into the family. Someone who could help out, like a caregiver. I'm out on call a lot, and I have other things that keep me from home.  And...something happened recently that made me wonder about who would help out if something would ever happen to me.  I can't be around to protect my kids all the time.  And we're likelybtobtake in some foster children soon, so it may become a necessity."

"So...basically, a second wife, without the wife part." She says.

I nod. "I know how hard that would be. It would be nearly impossible to have a second Mamono around that close to the family who wouldn't be a second wife."

Nadia nods sagely. "To have a second wife without sex, you mean. That would be quite cruel, and you would wind up losing anyway."

"In more ways than one, because Regina would jump to my defense. And I don't even want to think about that."

She gestures. "So why DON'T you have a harem? You're good looking, obviously good with children, and you strike me as a good person.  Any Mamono would love to be a part of that family."

I shrug. "I guess it's because I'd feel like I betrayed Regina. She's a Golem, so she's predisposed to bowing to authority.  I would feel like I'm taking advantage."

"Ah, I see. That makes sense."

We sit in silence for a few moments. Nadia looks up and tucks some hair behind her ear. "You know, if you ever start taking applications..."

"I'll let you know, don't worry." We both chuckle.
