"Yes, they were taught not to show us affection." Jayden pauses, "I am glad to hear you did, I never remained in one area long enough to keep up with much of anything I enjoyed.

Not many parents would want their daughter to marry someone with my lifestyle, Moony, even after the shock that I was raised by the system. Most want to know what background their future son in law is from and wouldn't blame them." he pauses, "I was engaged before I came here. I met her through mutual friends before I left the system and well, I wasn't proud when she became pregnant but I wasn't going to shy away from my duties toward the baby. We had two little girls," he reaches into his wallet and pulls out the last photos taken of both he had to show Mizuki, "Things got rocky when I was told I would be transferred to Japan, Kim didn't want to leave London so one day, she packed all her belongings and left with the girls while I was at work." He lets a crooked smile cross his face, "I guess it is, judging by your tone. You might clobber me with your bokken if I said no than hold me hostage somewhere till I admit defeat." he teases lightly.
