Yuni nodded. "That sorts it, then. I'll have to keep you guessing. You'll never know where I drop in from," he chuckled.
He could sympathize with Jace's concerns. Most of the people he knew, albeit deities, already had families of their own. Granted, the God of Love had many lovers... They were still a family. The few humans he'd spent time with were the same. He spent a week with an expectant mother and her wife, looking after the little kids that were already running around. It was a lovely time, but not something he could really identify with.
In fact, most of the other deities found it odd that someone whose whole pillar of existence was fertility was barren. That he had not already taken up a spouse. Ideally, he and his would be fiance were well matched. In theory. Family, marriage, and fertility all went hand in hand. But in his case, all he personally cultivated was plants. And collected little forest creatures around his temple.
"You have no idea," Yuni sighed. "My father is very devoted. Thinks he knows best and is the perfect matchmaker." His father being the eldest god, if course.
