[@Fumari] Accepted! Welcome aboard :)
[@IcePezz] Very mysterious... I like it! Just for everyone's reference, it's not uncommon for members of the different Estuaries to form relationships and/or eventually settle down and have a family. Also, I tried to word it well enough in the intro so that your Vein could have grown up with you, or it could have been paired with you after the Gathering. Your choice. 

*slithers back under the covers...* not ready for this day yet.
