Concerns.
"Is this to be it, then?" said one of the courtiers. The advisers in this meeting had not been involved in the conspiracy to back challengers for Princess Marrina's hand, but the whole affair had driven home a point to them. "The throne of Atlantis to one day be inherited by royal grandchildren of another species, sharing only one-eighth of our blood and even less of our national identity?"
There's a pause, and then one says quietly, "No." All eyes look to him, and he explains. "We must consider, Princess Marrina no doubt has strong concerns about having her own natural children. The next generation may well be left to her sister... and to Princess Namorita's son."
"Then we must encourage them to both marry full blooded members of the nobility!" one interjects, but his colleague shakes his head.
"No, they are too much children of two worlds now. If recent events have shown us anything, it is that we must take more incremental steps. They will fight too hard against being betrothed to someone who cannot go to the surface with them. We will need to encourage that the next generation be raised more in Atlantis, so that they may wed appropriately and bring blue back into the royal line. But we must ensure that Kassia and MacKenzie's children are still one-fourth Atlantean, to the better to keep them down here, and recover the bloodline faster."
"But how can we make their children as Atlantean as themselves?"
"By encouraging them to wed each other, of course."
