"Huh, what's to object to about hiking without your paints along?"

"Too hard to keep appropriate clothing appropriately clean - I was allowed to hike around our gardens and some nearby places. But also the sky doesn't really change that much even if you hike a lot?"

"I'd think you'd get better views from some places than others? Depending on things like how many trees and buildings were in the way."

"My family's estate has a bell tower which has excellent views on all sides - I did quite a lot of my painting there."

"Oh, how fortuitous."

"Yes, because it's unbecoming of a woman to fly up very high to see good weather all the time."

"I think if a person can fly they should have the chance to do so whenever they wish."

"Well, you're a man, so you're allowed to have that opinion."

"Your opinions too were very much constrained?"

"Well, not actually, but if I complain a lot my mother gets annoyed and lectures me about how I have to be better if I want to find a permissive husband, so I have to keep them to myself."

"Surely the permissive husbands are... permissive."

"Yes, but I think they need to want me in the first place."

"If flying isn't a drawback to the right husband, surely attention would be better spent on any other feature than 'not flying'."

"Oh, I won't be able to fly when I have a husband for a long while since I'll need to have children."

"Is flying bad for pregnant women?"

"Not for the woman but for the baby - so's running too fast."

"...how fast is too fast?"

"I'm not sure - we're not supposed to run at all because babies are very delicate and empowered can run very fast. I think we're not supposed to run even at normal speed, but maybe that part of the rule is fake."

Haru would admittedly expect that an esper who could fly would want to avoid it while pregnant but that's because backlash is terrible for fetuses. "Are you supposed to avoid all your magic, or only the sorts that involve moving around a lot?"

"Just the ones that involve moving around."

"I don't think there's any custom of the kind observed in Narnia, though perhaps I wouldn't know."

"And the babies are all fine?"

"Not with anything like perfect regularity, but I don't think I've heard that the ones with active mothers do worse. The opposite if anything."

"...I should question a doctor about this. And possibly complain about how I have been lied to."

"The doctors may also have been lied to, I don't imagine they get a lot of people volunteering to fly a lot while pregnant if everyone believes it'll be harmful."
