"I won't be able to carry him?" he repeated, surprised, "But if he's like Matthias, he won't be able to even sit up on his own for months. How am I supposed to take care of him?"

He leaned forward a bit, "Couldn't you just use superglue or something? Or maybe a potion. I'm taking care of them on my own the majority of the time. It doesn't matter if it's painful."
While he wasn't afraid of things like pain, trying to take care of two small children without being able to carry them for over a month seemed like a rather big task. Especially with one that wouldn't be able to move on their own.
