Yes he does, but he isn't as sensitive about his fighting prowess as he is about his lack of aility as a merchant.
Beware of Mama Tiger.
Marian is definitely the dominant partner in that relationship, and the senior partner in the clan business (it's turning into a clan, especially since Jackie married one of the healer caste partners).
Why would Adryan say a reasonable number of children?
Because she couldn't support say seven children to the same level she could support three, and she's hedging her bets in case she turns out to be hyperfertile.
What is the normal number of children that most negotiate on having?
Number of children isn't really negotiated in most cases, although here I think Adryan will have the financial sense to insist on a 'cap' on the number of children she has, after which one of three things will happen; she'll go to a human doctor for a contraceptive implant, she'll get herself sterilised or Ian will get himself steriliesed. The fourth option, which she won't really consider, is for them to stop having sex with each other, except for oral sex and use of toys.
