Nod.

"I should - go to his room?"

"Yeah." She pats her shoulder. "I'm sorry."

Nod.

When he's supposed to be done with his meetings, she can walk down the hallway and knock on the door to his room.

" - Korva? Are you feeling better - "

She doesn't know how to answer that. She thinks about it for a couple seconds and really can't think of anything.

"I don't think there's going to be a baby this time."

"What is that...supposed...to mean..."

"I'm bleeding again."

"Ah." He gives her a hug, stiffly. "That's not necessarily your fault, you know, sometimes it just happens."

"Yeah.

"I'm sorry."

"Oh, honey. You've been doing your best - and you've been sick, and it's been so hard -"

She has the thought that everything inside her is dead. Maybe she killed it by being dead. That's not very sensible, sometimes pregnancies don't take, but the thought is there, now, and she doesn't have anything to do with it.

She nods.

"Why don't you come sit down and we can talk."

Nod.

She can sit down. Carefully.

"I want to keep trying. However, we should maybe discuss - trying with other people - as well. I know I have - already asked so much of you. If you refuse this I'd understand. But - we need a baby soon, and if there's any chance that this was more than - bad luck -"

"That makes sense."

"What do you want to do?"

This is not really a question she can answer very well, is it.

What is she supposed to want.

"I'll - support whatever you want to try."

"Okay," he says stiffly. "I think I will give you another week to think about it in case you are just in shock right now and not thinking very clearly."

"Okay."

"Do you want me to hold you right now?"

"If you want."

Hug. "I'm sorry. I know you wanted - I know you'll be a really good mother -"

She can nod. Nodding isn't complicated. It doesn't really matter whether you actually agree with what's being said. And she can be held.

They can go back to having dinner together. He can get more healers in to look at her and see if there's anything wrong with her which they can fix. 

Having to walk to dinner is very hard, and fairly painful, but she can do it without complaining. She never complains about anything.

She doesn't have any very obvious problems, apart from not sleeping or eating very well and being generally lethargic. There's no particularly obvious source, although different people may have widely varying speculation. She isn't cursed and she doesn't have any sort of disease.
