"Far from here," Stone Heart replied, running his finger along one of his tusks. "Back on my homeworld. They're all three still young, pups in fact, the oldest not even a Young Blood." He kicked his feet up onto the table, since he wasn't at the same table as his guests. He didn't really care about manners, he was going to act however he normally acted. Guests weren't going to change anything.
"Daughter's the oldest, she usually takes care of the other two. The other two're barely over a year old. Long way to go before anything can be done with 'em." He shrugged. "But hey, that's life. Gotta wait all the time. 'Sides, I might be too dangerous for any of the three just yet."

"Who watches your children? Will they eventually visit?" asks Eet.

"My daughter is the oldest, and has the most experience. So, she watches the other two," Stone Heart replied. "They are in the safest location I can think of. So, there isn't much a reason to worry... Ever, really." He drummed on the table with his fingers. "Maybe someday they can come visit. I don't think they will any time soon, but, you never know."

"Cutural differences are interesting, are they not? Our children stay with us for thousands of Earth years while yours seem to never really be with you. I must say, your house is a very interesting idea. We do not normally live inside any shelter - we live outside amongst the forest", said Adorna

"Cultural differences are indeed interesting, yes, but I'm not exactly the best sample for my species," Stone Heart replied. He took a swig of the drink he had been carrying around, squinting as he did such. Sour. He set the glass down, now half empty, looking toward the ceiling. "See, most pups live with their mothers 'til they can take care of themselves. Mine, however, did not get such an advantage, as their mother is now non-existant. Which is why I make sure I have them in a safe place, because I am not going to risk them being non-existant as well. Hence why I never take them with me."

"Who teaches them about life then", responds Adorna.

"You make it sound like I'm never there," Stone Heart retorted. "I may not be there all the time, but I'm there enough to teach them what they need to know." He thought for a brief second before making his next statement. "Honestly, if I could take them with me everywhere, I would. But their safety forbids me to do that. When I go somewhere, something it bound to happen. A big fight, something bad, or something of the latter. Me, being me, nobody's safe when I start fighting. Shoot, I nearly killed one of my own allies a couple of times, narrowly missing. Fortunately, I have good depth perception, so I can make it narrowly missing, rather than actually hitting. But, because they're just pups, I can't take such a risk."

"Oh no, I didn't mean to imply you're never there. The universe was once a calmer and safer place. Although my race can does fight battles we are not a battle culture; we have risks as do all sentient beings, but not the kind you clearly have. We cultivate life in the universe, both colonies of sentient beings and plants, and the life of the universe itself. We nurture it, keep it running. So we take our children along with us as soon as they are old enough to watch and learn wht we do. It's different", says Adorna to Stone Heart and Eet (who should know this already).

Indeed Eet remembers meeting Adorna, many years ago, on a world populated by trees and peaceful people. Eet wore different body then, and used to help maintain the forests...
Remembering that she has to load her equipment on the ship, Eet stands in preparation to take her leave of StoneHeart and Adorna. "Good-Bye", she thinks, "I have lots to do in preparation for our mission and it is not my nature to procrastinate. It has been so nice, relaxing here, I hope we can do it again when we return. See you on the ship!"
After obtaining a mental picture of the location of the ship from StoneHeart Eet teleports to her house, then teleports to the ship with her supplies and equipment.

Realizing she has to figure out how to use her equipment as well as get it onto the ship, Adorna stands to leave. "It has been really nice to be with you two, thanks for having me, but I have to get my stuff together and figure out how to use it! See you guys at the ship", Adorna says. Then she leaves for her own house and equipment.
