Blackfeather Woods I will show you some tenderness

Despite her quick mind when it came to herbs and the use of poisons, Potema was confused when Burke confirmed that Meldresi was his baby. It made no sense to her, and even less so when he described being her lover. Wasn't that bad to be a lover and a father at the same time? The white princess tilted her head curiously, a quizzical expression on her face as she looked to her mother for guidance...but she was sleeping. Just great.

But her questions were somewhat answered when Damien mentioned mating. Yes, she had heard of that, but yet again that concept escaped her. All she knew was that it created children in a woman, but how, she had no clue. Her mother had not yet explained the birds and the bees to her. "Sooo.....a consort is a mate...but is not a mate?" This was confusing.
