Ah, wow, yeah. It's like half a a year, for us, and another season for the eggs to hatch. No idea what it's like for humans, maybe we can figure it out if we go talk to them.

If they're already showing and they started existing in the fall then it can't be a Year-long pregnancy.

Yeah. All right. Let's go talk to them?

Why me?

You seemed most likely to listen to me about it. The ones who've been dealing with the humans weren't, I was about ready to bite someone.

Yeah but I hate people so I'm probably not going to be any better at dealing with them than you are.

I don't mean talk to them, I mean talk to the humans. I should be fine talking to the humans, I just don't know the language.

Oh, fine.

Yeah, all I really need is for you to not freak out about what I want to say to them. And she arranges to meet him somewhere, and off they can go.

To the humans!

Yes, that.

She should explain who she even is, first. She finds a reasonably comfy spot on the outskirts of their settlement to sit and wait for them to come investigate her.

It's a really scattered settlement. But eventually a few people do come over.

Hi! I'm the kobold, have the Eldar mentioned me?

Yes, they said in addition to them there are kobolds and various animalfolk and elves and Dwarves and other humans and you made the portals.

Mmhmm. I'm usually pretty busy, which is why I hadn't come by before, but I heard about the accidental pregnancies, and I thought it might be good for you to have someone from a species that's used to that to talk to about it.

Oh. Did you want to talk to one of the people who's sick? I'm not, the Elves said if we didn't sleep together it wouldn't happen to us so we stopped -

Nod. I should talk to them, yes, but you all need to know what's going on.

We do! Some peoples bellies swell up and then eventually they'll have a baby and no one has any idea how long it'll take or much idea what the babies will be like.

Mmhmm. We can make some guesses, though. Like, Eldar pregnancies take ten years, kobold ones take half a year, you're probably more like kobolds than like Eldar with that. And the babies will be little and grow fast and need a lot of food for the first while, and they won't be very good at doing things or understand what's safe and what's dangerous at first, so they'll need someone to look after them all the time - for kobolds they need someone to look after them really closely for the first two or three years and shouldn't be anywhere dangerous on their own for the next four or five, I'm not sure how long it takes Eldar kids to be able to handle that but I bet if you're more like kobolds with the other things you'll be more like us with that, too.

It's awful. 

Are they actually having problems, or are you just worried because the Eldar were upset?

They're sick all the time and get dizzy and nothing tastes good but they're always hungry and they can't sleep well.

Okay. That all sounds pretty normal but for kobolds it's usually not bad enough to be a problem, just unpleasant. It is important that pregnant people get enough food, and that they get the foods they want if there are specific ones, and it usually helps if they can get as much rest as they want, have you been doing that?

...dunno.

Okay, well, that's the first thing to try. Is there someone who'd be in charge of making sure that happens?
