I predict this will be a self-indulgent shippy meditation on power and responsibility but it's honestly hard to predict these threads

Nod.

She opens the box.

"Does anyone here read this language?"

"Oh, Elizabeth said Valentine probably will.

Hey Valentine!"

Permalink

She heads over. "Oh good. - we should probably head over to the house, I'll read you how it works."

She takes her hand and tugs her to the house that she and Asmodia and Korva are staying in. She reads and explains the instructions. It's kind of awkward to test urine without a bathroom but they have chamber pots.

" - yeah, that means it's positive," she says, when it's done. "So you're pregnant."

She nods.

" - how accurate - "

Permalink

She flips through the instructions again. "Says ninety-nine percent with proper use. But some medical conditions can give false positives."

Permalink

She nods again and starts crying. 

Permalink

" - hey, hey, it'll be okay, it will - d'you want a hug - "

Hug.

"It'll be okay," she says, firmly. "Lots of people here without much to do. We can handle one baby. It'll be okay."

Permalink

Nodnod.

Eventually she heads back outside to Fëanáro. 

Permalink

Hug.

 

"I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything and nobody told me it'd happen and - I don't understand why - "

Permalink

" - do you mean, that you didn't have sex with anyone?"

Permalink

Nodnodnod.

"S'normal. They - artificial insemination is standard practice. But they tell you first. They always have before."

Permalink

Hug.

"I keep worrying about - I don't wanna have a baby and mind control her by accident. And I don't understand why they - "

Permalink

"We could find the people responsible and ask them? Varda stopped the ship your family was on -"

Permalink

"I guess so," she says, very quietly. "Wouldn't fix it."

Permalink

"No. It wouldn't. I don't see how anyone can fix it. I'm so sorry."

Permalink

Nodnod.

"I'd be okay if it was the only thing. There're just - there're going to be a lot of things. And I think I'm going to have to be part of doing them."

Permalink

" - well obviously you will probably want to stay here in the demiplane until the baby's all grown? ...I guess you could have the baby paused somewhere while you go fix the world and so on."

Permalink

" - there are trillions of people stuck in slavery right now. I guess if all of them were paused the whole time it wouldn't be wrong to wait, but - "

Permalink

"The Valar could maybe pause the baby's growth? I don't think at this age they'd mind and then you wouldn't have to wait on all the other things you're doing."

Permalink

"I guess so.

"M'really tired. I haven't even done anything yet and I'm already tired of it."

Permalink

"That makes sense. I'd be so angry - and so terrified -"
