|“Witches can give birth, Reid. That makes them female.”
“But they only give birth to females. Sounds like asexual reproduction to me.”|

| “Perhaps if someone had been there—if someone had intervened—all of this could have been avoided.” -Archbishop |

-man, why are you still dehumanizing witches huh?

| “I think this might be the safest place for me right now. A Chasseur literally just took an oath to protect me.” |
-again, no baby. this is not a safest route you took. literally, you and your hubby are quite famous and you're reputation as a thief and a friend of a witch is on the line.
