He continues to stroke over the neck, her back, and her feathers. To him, it's not odd that he's married to her. This form of hers...is another aspect of her, but she is still her, that he knows.
It gives him joy to hear that, that he's her mate. When she nuzzled him, it tickles, but even as a bird, she's so sweet.
"All right, let me just...I hope it doesn't hurt." He plucked a gold crest feather. "This one." The gold feather shines and simmers, and when he stroke it, it's soft and wonderful to hold and so light.
At that, that caught his attention. "I see. Aren't you afraid? Afraid of losing your powers?" He didn't want her to be afraid to have children with him, and that even after she lost her powers and passed to their children. "I don't want you to be afraid...that we can have a family...and that I think we'll be okay and all right if we work together. The children will have your gift and they will have my strength."
