It would really be much more convenient to be anybody else in the universe right now.

 

"If anybody around has a pregnancy test I should - probably take one," she mumbles.

"...I don't really know what that is but I can ask people for you?"

Permalink

"That'd be - good. Thank you."

Permalink

"Do you have a husband we need to get?"

Permalink

Headshake.

Permalink

" - okay. I'll - ask."

Permalink

"Do you know what a 'pregnancy test' is?" he asks Valentine.

Permalink

" - yes. Why."

Permalink

"My father asked me to try and get one. What is it?"

Permalink

"It's a way of telling whether someone's pregnant, if it's too early for them to be sure themselves. Is she - I guess if she knew she wouldn't need the test."

Permalink

"Do you know where we could get one?"

Permalink

"Elizabeth can make one. But we don't want her on the demiplane while the other one is here, until we know more about how her powers work. I guess I could have someone use a wand of sending and - go talk to her and bring one back. Assuming she can go out and buy one."

She hands him a blueberry muffin and a bag of beef jerky. "'kay. Get her this, in the mean time, she needs to eat something."

And she goes off to find Hagan.

He takes the food to Imrainai. "We're working on getting you the pregnancy test that you asked for."

Permalink

"Thank you."

Hagan is sitting with Korva.

"Hey. I need someone to contact Elizabeth and get her to buy something. Since we don't want her on the plane I think someone has to actually go to her world and bring it back. It can't be me if I don't want to unpause my world."

Permalink

"I can probably do that?"

Permalink

Nod.

"The new one needs a pregnancy test. Elizabeth'll know how to get one, unless her Earth is a lot weirder than advertised."

Permalink

" - okay. Is she - married -"

Permalink

"I didn't ask. I got this from Starfarer. He didn't say anything else."

Permalink

Nod. 

"I can contact Elizabeth."

Permalink

"Thanks. Wands of sending are over there, I think."
