Herbalists' Cache das lied von der erde

"You? And how can you be a help, if you do not have a first-hand experience on what it's like?" Apple shot out the first thing that came to her mind and, though she had not intended to sound so, the question was a bit judgemental. Then she realized that she had been rather rude and the man should be admired for the choice of his path. After all... jobs should not be strictly divided by gender, should they?

"I am sorry for being inconsiderate, but it is rare - in my experience - that you find a man interested in a field that is... let's say so very female. None of my four husbands can boast with this kind of courage, choosing to run for the hills, before the actual mess began. Those hypocritical bastards," Apple said, though there was a certain level of tenderness and affection in the epiteth she had given to her former mates. After all - there were no regrets in Nanny's life and she had had a great time with each one of them.

"Though, if your mother-to-be has odd cravings before and after birth - I would advise to oblige. Body is no fool, when it comes to stuff it needs. Even if the lady wants to chomp down rocks and chalk - get the best you can."
