no wonder she needed a doppleganger

Clem's been hugging her family a lot

Though I think if she ever meets Kerri anytime soon she's going to be surprised what she heard about them and Sally Mae

Oh?

Clem is unaware of the pressures some of the Kinian feel to 'marry pure'

With the trolls themselves, hey, it's more 'marry farmer types if you can but there's a better chance of the kid being a troll with you so..."

Ahhh

Z & Bird have very different famil experiences

where as Kinian are more "Okay.. if there was a scale of one to five (meta for the win) of how much 'fae blood' I have I'd be a four, if I marry a zero then our kid would likely be at two at best... and less chance for a real troll child and..' worry stress duty

Though even Z has ideas about how "involved" the kinain get.

Be funny to see the DeBukes and Scwhartz/Himmelfarbs meet in mass some time.

OH GOD

Like the Waltons of Iowa Running into the Jewish version of the family from my Big Fat Greek Wedding

Yeeeeup

Intellectual, wealthy, urbanite...

Insular down home rural

Though BOTH sides are crazy

each in their own special way

possibly in the same way?

More alike than they'd ever admit?

Yup

Possibly 🙂

Z & Earl are both the odd ducks

Of course, what would happen would be something like "Mama, this is Zara's second cousin Malachi Scwhartz! I love him, mama!" and "Mother, yes she's a blonde with troll blood but Anna Bertha Belle will be a Scwhartz!"

And Earl and Zara will be like "I think the spot light is off us for once, thank the Dreaming" 🙂

Heh

Oddly - easier for Z to marry a gentile than if she'd been a boy.

Mind, Hannah still favors Ice. He is handsome, a sluagh, does computers AND he's folk!

Doesn't seem that odd to me. Women often feel pressure for continuing a culture's next generation etc.

Oh, somewhere poor Earl is clutching his chest at the hurt 🙂

Matrilineal tradition - you're jewish if your mother is jewish, whether or not you practice.

Ah!

Like Cherokee...okay, not like Cherokee though it is matrilinial too or was.

which makes a certain amount of sense. No uncertainty about parentage!

Very practical.

Miriam has been very supportive, though

of the WHOLE ZAREM

Alarming! 🙂

heh. Well, I think Clem's view would be "That's just wrong to me..." (Envisions three guys half naked helping turn soil only to shower off and come in to feed her grapes) "...very very wrong" 🙂

Well, mainly that it is okay if Zara doesn't choose yet

though she seems to have chosen more than she realizes

I suppose Clem's view might change if she went Unseelie

Also true

Regent/Savage if I recall

oh, Clem is a savage

Zara, unseelie, is more apt to mischief

Yeah, though I think the 'hunt' they did on Hell night showed what a Savage/Regent might think like.... "Fine, we want compromise" Geld. "Choice made."

The secondary legacy influencing the first.

And yes, Zara rather enjoys working from the sidelines and coaxing from what I could see

Yup!
