Blackfeather Woods i've got a little black book with my poems in

She knew deep down what was going on, but was afraid all the same. Fearful of becoming a mother when that was the last thing she had ever wanted; fearful that she would become a brood to the dustrunners of home chief above all, yet fate had brought her to the woods. Parvati hoped there was more to life than mindless worship of gods she did not understand and the birthing of babies for rough men. So far she had learned of a different way to live - Maegi had shown her, and the others too. Yet still she was frightened.

Maegi asked for the name of the father - which surprised her. Surely the stunted man had spoken to his sister of their tryst? Parvati's focus helped alleviate some of her panic and stress as she considered what to say, and knew the truth was all she could offer. Ramsay.
