It's almost hard not to either laugh or cry, but he manages to just give a smug little grin instead. "Beth Junior... she's enough for now." He's not sure how much longer his contraceptive nanobots are going to be active -- time's been so fucked up for him -- but he's not in any big hurry to prove they're out of his system. No: no hurry for more kids.
"But I'll keep it in mind." Like you could go to the store and order the one you want or something. Life kind of doesn't work that way. "When you get a chance, could you explain how the whole portrait thing works? I never asked Snow and I've never been inside the House of Arch, but if I'm going to help keep it safe -- and I will, I'll defend it with my damn life -- I'd like to know what I'm working with and how some of the bad shit from the bar's made its way in there in the past. It'll help when I figure out the odds on the place."
It's not that he's distrustful. It's just that he's never seen a place that was so safe, so well-fortified, that it couldn't be broken into. And it'll be his job to try to find those holes and gaps and figure out how to keep shit from leaking in.
He takes it very seriously: it'll be his way of paying back for having rooms there, whatever they end up looking like. "But we could talk about that later, too. Look at them. Ingress is so good with babies."
It's beyond sweet and it will be good for little Beth to have other kids around. At least he thinks it will.
