It is really very confusing which things make her embarrassed. 

Permalink

Yeah she's not actually sure they make any sense at all. Just. She doesn't want to make things harder for him.

Permalink

Well she's going about that wrong. That was a play on words, see, because -

Permalink

- she giggles and snuggles him.

Does he want her to stop? She can stop snuggling and doing telepathy if he wants.

Permalink

He does not want her to stop.

Permalink

Well then she won't, and he'll just keep being snuggled.

She will maybe make some kind of at least halfhearted attempt to go to sleep at some point.

Permalink

Someone should snuggle her and look out for her while she sleeps. 

Permalink

How very very fortunate she is to have someone trustworthy and snuggly here.

She waits and feeds her baby and paces and waits and eventually decides to go back to the house and find Hagan instead of waiting longer for Elizabeth to appear and hopefully grant her request for a Bible.

Hagan is at the house playing with magic items.

Permalink

"Hi."

Permalink

"Hey."

Permalink

"I was wondering what the plan was right now for - when and how you were going to recover my other children."

Permalink

- nod. "There's kind of a lot going on right now. Once we have somewhere they'll - recognize as a reasonable place for them to have been brought, and where they can't get into too much trouble, I guess I'll ask Elizabeth to go drop me in your world so we can talk to your emperor."

"Okay. How long is that expected to take?"

Permalink

"Dunno. We can rush it, if you want them now."

Permalink

"I don't - it's not urgent while time is stopped but I'd like to be able to - have a plan."

Permalink

"Yeah. Uh, are you going to want to keep living with us - or on your own - I'd want to ask Korva -"

Permalink

 

"Some of it depends on whether they're willing to listen to me, I think. I've never - lived alone, before. But I could manage if that would be better."

Permalink

"I don't know. I don't want you to have to do that. An Osirian woman would - mind, I think, usually, but Korva isn't one, and we both want you to be okay." He kicks the ground. "I'm sorry."

Permalink

Nodnod. "Thank you."

Permalink

"I don't - uh, let me know if I could explain any of that any more."

Permalink

"Maybe later. Thank you for letting me stay here."

Permalink

"Of course. I can go - talk to Korva now, if you'd like?"
