Rozenn shakes her head. It takes her a moment to respond, to find the exact words to convey all of this.
"I know there are others who can take on the job. Avag would raise all the eggs by himself, if we let him, I think. But I was here, and I cannot shirk my responsibilities. Giving up one responsibility to fulfill another is hardly a reasonable trade-off. I just think Terzi had a point, is all, even if she stated it coarsely."
She turns to a new page. Her penmanship gets a bit messier, a little less elegant, a little more rushed.
"I just fear that if we raise the dragon, they will necessarily lose part of their heritage. Part of who they are. We cannot hope to teach them about dragon religions, and traditions, and holidays, and I don't think there's any way to research such things. You're the only one who can consider teaching them a draconic language, Zaya. Not to mention the fact that we'll be splitting this family up as a matter of course. It's just... I'm not used to making so many compromises with morality. It makes me uncomfortable."
