021 - Steiner - Text (Filtered from Garnet plus bad guys)

[Steiner has been thinking about this for some time. Garnet is with child and becoming more obviously pregnant by the day. Zidane still isn't here. That kind of... makes Steiner the default father. At least in his head. He will be responsible for the infant prince or princess just as he has been for Garnet.

Only... babies aren't really Steiner's area of expertise...]

I would like to request some advice! Are there any parents here who might offer their wisdom? My queen I have a friend who is expecting her first child. Since her husband disappeared, she has been left with the heavy burden of bringing up the child alone.

I would offer what assistance I can, but my knowledge of parenting is limited. Should anyone be willing to help, I would be most grateful!

[Reading this is a double-edged sword for Ricard. On the one hand, he likes to talk about his son, but on the other, he's reminded again that Kain isn't here any more.

Still, he answers.]

Babies need a lot of attention. Cause a lot of lost sleep, too.

I can't really say that much about it, though. It's been years, and I wasn't really around much when my son was that young.

Indeed. I must think of employing child minders but I am not certain how much time my friend would prefer to spend with the infant herself.

Then ask her. You won't be much help until you learn.

You are right. It is simply a difficult subject to bring up...

Well, if you want to care for the kid right, then you're going to have to.

[This has given Steiner something to think about.]

I shall take note of your counsel.
