Well, my comment on children is, who ever IS ready to have children? Who is the "model" parent? [/quote]
The pressures of providing -- how will he earn a living? He's a warrior. Can you imagine Fenris handle "terrible two's? OMG.

Hawke could come home to find her baby's heart crushed. Worse - what happens when they start smarting off or if they're disobedient? Fenris' only experience with disobedience is as a slave and we can ALL imagine what' What happens if a slave is disobedient? Probably something you wouldn't want done to your child. What do you think Fenris would do if the children are screaming? If they are unreasonable (because they're children)?

Fenris probably does not consider himself the model lover. But is he not a "good" lover to Hawke? (What does that even mean?) Hawke loves him, and he admits he loves him/her back. (It also depends on how you play your Hawke and whether or not s/he would want children ... I think all of mine would.) I think Fenris would have to be convinced that this is a good idea. For a female Hawke, she would have to talk to him about it, and I do believe he would give in after awhile.
For a male Hawke, I see him wanting to take in an urchin or two, and Fenris grumping about it, but growing attached to the kid after awhile, and finally loving him/her.
Fenris is not an animal; he is a
elf human being! Yes, he has had great trauma, but he is also capable of great love. He's a good egg, deep down. [/quote]
***DISCLAIMER - SO PLEASE DO NOT HATE ME***I kinda see Fenris like this:
"A
feral organism is one that has changed from being domesticated to being wild or untamed."
Example: A feral horse like the wild mustangs. One of the numerous dictionary definitions of a "feral animal" states that a feral[/b]
animal is an animal which has escaped from a domestic or captive status
and is living more or less as a wild animal. Other definitions realize
the shortcomings of the first definition and simply say that a feral
animal is an animal which has changed from being domesticated to being
wild, natural, or untamed.
Fenris is feralized (
period). In my opinion, he wouldn't want to be snared or bound by some lifetime obligation. That would sound like slavery. For some people (women), it is slavery. Why is there any objection to allowing Fenris the remainder of his life as a 'free man'?? Why must he
belong to anyone?
