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

Nod. 

"Is she... do we know if she's okay?"

"I don't know. I - she has five children. I think marrying her fairy makes more sense for her than most other things she could possibly do. But I don't know if she's okay."

Permalink

"I guess. If they don't actually think that marriage and slavery are mutually exclusive states, that just - it seems like a horrible way for things to be, to try to be married to someone who owns you. I guess maybe I'm unclear on whether that's normal in some places."

Permalink

"I mean, I think she wouldn't be his slave once they were married. Just his wife magically bound to him, which is - unusual but it's not slavery."

Permalink

"I guess so? Do you expect he'd understand that?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure."

Permalink

"Well, it seems like it would also be pretty scary to be married to someone who thought they owned you, especially if you magically couldn't get away."

Permalink

"It does. I don't - know that external interference will make things better but maybe there's a way to manage it."

Permalink

"Yeah, I don't know much of anything about the situation, just - worried about her."

Permalink

"It seems pretty bad. She did not want the followers of other gods to keep her in their prayers but I'll - see what else I can do."

Permalink

"Thanks. I'm - I don't want to cause problems if she's fine? Just - it sounds bad. So. Thank you."

Permalink

"Of course.

Are you doing all right?"

Permalink

"Coping. Kind of unsure what I'm going to do after I've met everybody."

Nod. "You could tell us some more stories from your world."

Permalink

"That's true! I could do that. 

"I guess whenever your, uh, queen comes back, I will be dealing with finding the baby's father."

Permalink

" - she's not my queen, I'm Osirian. But - that makes sense. You think he'll step up and marry you?"

Permalink

"Sorry. And no, not at all. It's a possibility, I guess, if I decide he's really great? But - I mostly just expect him to be really confused about why we brought him here."

Permalink

"It is not the thing people would do at home but at home if a man got a woman he didn't know pregnant he would've done something wrong, it wouldn't have been a complete accident, so I don't -know how other places think about it, I guess."

Permalink

"I expect he'll think he doesn't have a meaningful relationship with the child at all. Which is why it'll be pretty confusing that we wanted to talk to him."

Permalink

"That makes sense. I'm so sorry you were put in such a difficult situation."

Permalink

"Thanks. I figure I'll manage, it's just - I'll have to talk things over with the rest of my work crew, probably. See what they think I should be doing about it."

Permalink

"That makes sense. - they won't want you to stop carrying the baby?"

Permalink

 

" - in some places in our world women drink poison, but not enough to kill them, just the baby, and I wanted to make sure no one was going to expect you to do that."

Permalink

" - oh. Uh. They will not tell me to drink poison."
