So Maihallr is Cya and Leo’s second kid, born a few years before she starts Doomsday/Cloverleaf

“Marry me, Maihallr.” He dropped to his knees, holding up a ring he must have scrounged from some dead city. “Marry me?”

His hair was falling in his eyes, a common occurrence Mai had found endearing up until now.

“Why?” she asked, more than a little alarmed. Everything had been going so well.

“I love you!”

“…and?” She blinked at him.

“And I want to live with you.” He was beginning to get a frown. Mai had a feeling she’d gone off-script. But he’d done it first!

“My mom and dad have been in love for decades. Centuries, maybe. And they don’t even live in the same house.”

“I want to have children with you.”

“I’m really not ready for kids.” She was barely forty, and there was still way too much world in front of her.

“I want to be by your side forever.”

She blinked at him, at his ridiculous hair and his tarnished ring. “So… you want to be crew?”
