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.
" - if you'd want to. I think it'd be - good, for the kids to have a father, now that they've lost the other. I understand they're not your blood, or anything - "
"It takes - nobility of spirit, right, to see a child who needs a father and say 'I am a man who can be a father'. Weak men make their women feel like their past children are a burden they'll graciously forgive them as long as they don't have to see them too much."
"He doesn't. - I do, um - I'm not sure how fairies parent, exactly, and - I do still want to make sure they can be free and do things they want to do, later - so I'd want to talk about what our priorities were, exactly, it's very important that I not leave them worse off than they were - "

I think all the ones who found each other are probably okay. I am more worried about the one who doesn't have a me. You'd be so sad if you didn't have a me. Also maybe the ones from the D&D world? Does she know she has him?
I have very little idea what's up with them. I guess I could focus on reading them instead of monitoring the one from hell. The alone one does seem really stressed. I think part of that's being stuck to the fairy, though.
"You're giving all this romantic advice but you're not with your Imrainai at all."
"It's not really romantic advice? It's life advice that happens to be about women. But you don't, like, charm girls with your impressive knowledge of how they are best off married and their kids deserve fathers. - and I'm not - how old are you -"
"Didn't answer my question at all. - seriously, at all, you got zero debt credit for that."
"We don't agree about religion. And we're - grownups, with different life trajectories. That happens sometimes. It doesn't mean you can't be friends but it means it'd be very silly to try anything more."
