The moon and stars reflected off the still water of the lake by the shoreside halfling village outside Karosgrad, rolling hills of twisting chimneys atop cozy burrows lazily puffing smoke into the night sky.

Inside one particular burrow upon the hill, a blond halfling sat in his armchair before his fireplace, smoking pipe in hand as he gazed into the warm amber flames, his feline companion curled comfortably atop his lap and purring steadily. The wee lad was at peace, and he let his eyes fall to a close as he smiled- but then, something disturbed the silence: there was a knock at the door.

 

Callum lifted his head, letting out a puff of his pipe before slowly rising- Lion mewing quietly in protest as he hopped off of the warm lap, before swiftly stealing the halfling’s spot on the armchair after Callum had walked away.

 

The wee poet grasped the round door knob of the burrow’s door, inhaling the fresh summer breeze swept in from the outdoors as he peeked his head outside to see who’d knocked on the door. At first glance- there was nothing there, and the halfling let out an exasperated sigh upon realizing the village children were likely just pranking him again, until… 

 

He looked down at the sound of a baby’s cry, and what Callum found made his eyes bulge wide rather comically. At his feet were two twin infants, swaddled in soft blankets of baby blue. They looked to be about two or three months, and the wisps of fine hair on their heads was a remarkably similar blonde colour to his… Resting upon the blanket was a note, and when Callum knelt to pick it up the note read: They’re yours.

 

The halfling lad scooped up the twin babies, holding them in his arms as he looked around, as if the person who had dropped them off would be hiding behind a tree, waiting to jump out and say; “Tricked ya!” but nobody came. He looked back down at the babies, and with a soft smile on his face, waddled back into his burrow- preparing to welcome the two new additions to the family...
