The kids sit surprised for a moment.

Lucida:  "Wow, good one, Mr.Hominiac!  That's a great question!  We got a question, guys!"

Aegis: "Oh man, that's tough.  Let's just go around. You start, Lu."

Lucida: "Me?  Okay.  Hmmm...let me think.   Let's say that the Glyph didn't factor into it.   We pretty much represent a broad spectrum of Mamono, so I'd say to balance everything out, we would need...maybe an arachnid?  How about an Arachne?"

 Aegis: "That's a great idea!  Think of how useful she would be."

Aurum: "That's very true, but remember also that Aurora will be coming home within a month.  We will essentially have a sister in her as well."

Ferra signs something, looking confused.

Aurum: "No, Ferra, she's a Greenland, remember?  It'll be like having a mermaid for a sister."

Aegis: "Well, besides an Arachne I'd say...er, heck, I dunno.  A Wurm?"

Ferra signs something excitedly.

Lucida: (scratching her head) "That's a good question.  Honestly, I don't believe she would be able to revert to primal form as a Golem, but then again, look what Papa did with us.  We're nothing like normal Mamono, or even normal Golems."

Aurum: "I suppose an Arachne would be unique, and as Aegis said, she could be very useful."

Lucida: "How about a will o the wisp?"

Aegis: "What, a big, gloomy ball cage?  No thanks."

Lucida: (annoyed) "No, Aeg.  She wouldn't necessarily have to ACT like one.  She could manipulate things with telekinesis."

Aurum: "Why telekinesis?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Lucida: "To move around her cage, of course."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Aegis: "Or she could just run around inside it like a giant hamster!  Hahahahaha!" (she guffaws)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Lucida: (huffy) "Fine. Whatever. So are agreed on an Arachne?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Ferra nods.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Aurum: "Well, Undead would be impractical, and as you said, Lucida, we already represent a great deal of Mamono.  So, Lord Hominiac, I believe that is our answer, although we would have to give it some more discussion."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Me: "For the record, Los, the wife and I have discussed this at length.   We already have an idea."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The kids are shocked.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Aegis: "B-b-but Dad!  You never told us!"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Regina: "Because it isn't yet decided, sweetie.  We'll tell you if we decide to, don't worry."
