"I don't understand human terms," Marcus admitted as he tilted his head in confusion. "And the language evolved so much in that time.  Modern slang like describing a man as a 'stud' means nothing to me.  You could teach me, if you want."  He offered while his mate laughed while his skin blushed with ecstasy.  "So stud is another word for father now?"  He shook his head.  "Your language is odd."

He turned Tobias onto his back then brought his hand up to Tobias' face.  "How much does this beard mean to you?"  He asked while his finger tips roamed over the plains of Tobias' face.  "I know that loggers tend to keep their beards to show they are a part of the community but you are no longer a part of the human world.  Logging gave you the body you came to me with, broad shoulders, developed arms, those strong pecs and abs.  I know that scholars tend to be lean less broad of body and I don't think you would be happy that way.  You want to build this," he tapped one finger to Tobias' temple then ran his other hand along Tobias' body, "while you build this."

"The length of a pregnancy for warriors is a little a month from the time the seed takes root to the delivery.  It would be painful of course as you would push out a living creature but I will use my magic to lessen the pain.  I believe it would feel like stubbing your toes instead of breaking a limb."  Marcus rubbed Tobias' big belly with both his hands.  "Egg pregnancies last about six weeks from seed to delivery.  Delivery takes longer because the eggs are larger and a normal clutch contains about 50 eggs."
