[She's not exactly lulled into a sense of security in this place. Though, for once, she forgets to make sure nothing got back to Aric. After all, he didn't know anything about back home. She hadn't exactly told him about it and still wasn't entirely sure how to approach the subject.]

Has anyone ever gotten pregnant here? Or if they were back home... did it show up here?

[Well, that’s...]

I’ve been here a long time. No one’s had a kid.

[She frowns slightly to herself before shaking her head.]

No one at all? So what happens if someone is pregnant back home?

Are you? [Jo's jaw drops, so she's thankful they're audio-only.]

I mean- I don't think anyone else was.

That's the last thing that I found out when I was home. I just haven't felt anything since getting here.

[It's why she's worried and doesn't know who to trust.]

[Jo frowns, unseen. She's talked to this woman before and that was a while ago.]

Have you talked to any of the healers?

[That gets a bit of a frown out of Evie because she's still getting used to this place. Used to living with Aric as well.]

I don't even know who the healers are here.

Oh. There are a few who work at the clinic.

I'm not even sure where it is and it's not easy to trust complete strangers.

[Not with the stuff she's been through.]

Do you know any of the healers personally?

Oh. [That's not good. She sighs quietly.]

Yeah, I live with one of them. I know a few of the others.

[Thanks to some of the people back home, trust was an issue.]

Do you think you'd be able to say something or send me in the right direct?

Sure. I live with Pell. I'm sure he'd help.

What kind of doctor is Pell?

Magic?

[...That's the truth.]

A doctor of magic?

No, I mean he uses magic. To heal.

[This sure is a question.]

Love said none of us can conceive here or whatever. I asked.

Okay. So we can't conceive here. What about if we had already conceived before we got here?

Uhhhh.

[It's long and drawn out, because wow, Kyna has suddenly realized she might be stepping onto a landmine.]

I... don't know? Are you like... pregnant?

[This was... well, it was really messed up is what it was. It also didn't tell her what she needed to know either.]

I am, yes. I'd just found out back home.

Oh, shit. Uh... Go to the clinic. Definitely go to the clinic.

Do you know where the clinic even is? Or any of the doctors there?

not that I know of
and as for before, how far along were you?

Back home? I had just found out that I was pregnant.

mmm
i'd say then that
time's probably stopped for you in that regard?

Does time really stop though?

I don't know. Never been back to be able to say, but- Sure there's someone here who could tell you.

I'm not sure who here could tell me. Someone suggested the Gods, but I'm not sure if I believe that or not.

i mean
they're probably your best bet
they know most about this world
these worlds?

Do they honestly know about our worlds?

Not a ton, no. Most of what they know is what they've learned from us being here.

Somehow I'm not entirely sure that I trust something like that. I mean... How do they even learn it?

observation, I guess?
and we tell them things
or at least I've told the gods stuff

I'm not sure I'd trust telling them things. Not when I don't know what they'd do with the information.

So far, they haven't done much of anything. Been here almost two years now so I can tell you that much.

That's good to know. Doesn't mean I trust any of it though.

No one's had a child in the time I've been here. Doesn't mean it's impossible.

I'm just trying to figure out if that's possible here. I mean... back home, I'd just found out. So far, though, I've not felt anything. I'm not even sure if I would.

[Oh, no. She feels incredibly awkward now.]

Oh, I'm so sorry. Maybe you could try asking one of the gods directly? They might not be omnipotent, but it feels like they'd have to know the answer to a question like this.

I'm not sure if I want to deal with the gods. I mean, I guess I could. Though, which one would I even ask?

Maybe Love? They seem agreeable. If that's the right word.

There's a god called Love?

There is. I've never spoken with them personally, though.

But you've seen them around?

On the network, yeah.

But not in person?

Not in person, no.

I'm not sure if I want to trust something like that. So I'll take your word for it.
