In keeping with the standard recorded in the Scriptures Sister Heidi Henbane has decided to address a shortcoming she has identified in the new priest doctor. Luckily his lack of a wife, which is a requirement for church leaders according to the Word, can be quickly address by her beautiful beautiful young granddaughter Garmrth.

"Oh Oma, he is a handsome one!" Garmrth grinned, "Oma said you've been asking about me!"



"Now Henny, what I said was your granddaughter sounded nice and I wouldn't mind meeting your family," said Siegfried as he lost any personal space he previously owned, "I get the impression that you may have embellished that statement."



"Now now, Brother Siegfried," Henny replied opening the book of Scriptures, "it simply won't do to have and unmarried pastor. It says right here in the Letters of Titun 'A Pastor must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be stalwart, not overbearing, not bad tempered, not a drunkard, not wrathfull, not a Ransacker. Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is strong willed, upright, holy and disciplined.' Now that would be you to the word but you ought to be married and have children," She asserted with authority.



"What children do you imagine we'd have? Oma said you've got Æsir and alvar blood in your roots, I've got jötunn blood. That makes heroes and demigods in the old stories," Garmrth inquired pressing the doctor against the wall.



"Well I think a number of things need to happen before getting to that stage of events," Siegfried struggled, "Is courting not a custom observed around here?"



"Oh, you want to go somewhere private and do some wooing doctor?" Cooed Garmrth, "that sounds nice!"



"Well you're already our pastor so we ought to get this settled quickly. Look as it says here also in the Letters of Timoth: "He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full honor. Fore if anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. So he must also have a good reputation with wildermen, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap."
