[The answer should be relieving - then I won't force her to follow my lead, in essence - but the knot in her stomach doesn't loosen, not entirely.

But—perhaps this isn't the best topic to be discussing with a drunken 12 year old. (And she admits to needing a little more time to process this resurgence of old memories, still with the ability to hurt it seems.)]

Let's not worry about giving birth just yet. You're still young.

[grunehexe]

[She is drunk. And she is twelve. If she remembers any of this tomorrow she will certainly regret it- for being so free with her secrets.

But now she's just frustrated. Didn't Riza hear what she just said? (Thought-Typed?!)]

that is precisely WHY i have to begin soon

why does no one understand?

[strictdiscipline]

[Sorry, Sieglinde. It seems so few of Audentes see eye-to-eye with her on these things. Even Riza's taken aback by the fervor of Sieglinde's reply.]

What do you mean?

[grunehexe]

i could be killed in ALASTAIR's service this very day, or the next

any of us could

if i have not yet birthed an heir... if i have not yet raised her and taught her my secrets...

[Then there might never be a cure for what she'd done.

And the responsibility of those potentially killed by what she'd made... what's having a child a year years before other people considered it proper compared to that?]

[strictdiscipline]

You are not going to have a child at 12.

[Regardless of whatever opinions Sieglinde may have on this subject, that much she's putting her foot down on.]

We'll find a different way to fix things. There's never only one route as the only solution.

[grunehexe]

whatever age i happen to be once i begin menstruating

[thats Sieglinde putting HER foot down]

[strictdiscipline]

[????????? no??????]

You don't even have a boyfriend.

[grunehexe]

One does not need a lawful partner to conceive, Riza.

[honestly]

[strictdiscipline]

No, but most children enjoying growing up in the presence of both their parents.

[Actually, that's not quite true but let's not talk about that.]

[grunehexe]

Many a decent child has been made without a father.

[AFTER ALL, LOOK HOW SHE TURNED OUT.]

[strictdiscipline]

[................ no comment]

I don't disagree, but there's also the matter of work. Do you really wish to take on the arduous task of raising a child by yourself?

[grunehexe]

I will hardly be without aid.

[One thing Zeta-12 taught her... there are a lot of people on this team willing to look after other people's babies.]

And even if I were to be- as if that would be what dissuaded me at this point.

[strictdiscipline]

[smh.....why is she even having this conversation with a 12 year old]

Then what would dissuade you?

[grunehexe]

[this is your life riza]

why must you dissuade me in the first place?

you sound just like haise

[strictdiscipline]

[she'll take that comparison as a compliment, tyvm]

Because we worry.

Did Haise say the same things?

[grunehexe]

i wish everyone would worry more about what i worry for and less about my heir

romance and only having children with who you love

it is ridiculous
