"I understand a little bit. Witch societies are matrilineal. I have never had to deal with politics or worry about taking over if the time comes. I watched my sister go through all this and I know what a tough time she is going through."
I shook my head, unable to resist another bite of the chocolate cake. "Are there many male witches? There are no witches here."
"The population is predominantly female. But that's true for men, because we only go from witch to witch for our genetic material."
I can't help wrinkling my nose at this idea. And while Rook's words show that he loves the dynamic, I can't shake the feeling that he's too uncomfortable with it being used for his semen. "Sounds a little gross."
Oh, it could be. We keep strict paternal lineage records, so accidental inbreeding is out of the question. But most male witches seem to enjoy being used for their bodies, nothing more."
It definitely saves the process, the logistics, and the way other men feel about it.
