A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"Well. We don't have to be entangled with them. We can just be very careful."
"They had some more advice, when I talked to the other humans earlier. But I think I might want to wait until the children are asleep to discuss it. I'm not completely sure when that should be."
"No, they have sleep schedules. They're supposed to, anyway, I'm not sure that I've been very consistent. When we're slow humans sleep once a day when it gets dark, but of course that doesn't work fast. The toddler will still be restless if he's put down too soon, and he'll get upset if he's been awake for too long."
"Huh. With fairy kids you can just do whenever, as long as it's not right after they woke up and as long as you don't try to keep them up endlessly or something."
"I think human children need a little more regularity. It's usually not so bad, I can usually put him down when I start feeling tired. But right now we're on very different schedules, so I suppose I may be worse at guessing."
He does too. He flops contentedly when they're done while she's putting the kids to bed.
Eee.
"...the others thought we should talk about, uh... normally, when people get married, they have sex."
"Because, uh - it seemed like, if I was worried about it, then - probably we should talk about that instead of just - doing it, the way people normally would. I guess."
