There are just so many things to bicker over, man. What will we eat tonight, how shall we discipline the children, what does the genome of X animal look like, did he fire six shots or only five? And then Perscitia and Temeraire got mugged and spent the whole time arguing with each other and the mugger.
Larkin mostly sits around with dark shiny hair and THE BIGGEST BLUE EYES IN THE WORLD and gets argued over. Sometimes he gets fed. IT IS A GOOD LIFE, he says, and Tharkay gives Temeraire his battered old "how to make your babies food" book, because no nephew-grandchild-Will-what-do-we-call-this-kid of his is eating from a jar. And petulant!Temeraire is kiiiiiind of my favourite, especially when he tells himself he's trying hard not to be. >>
