Northstar Vale A new reason to smile.

It was good news! The Empress was both excited and afraid of becoming a mother for the first time, she had dreamed of the day since she was very young! If only the way they came about was little... more like the dream she had thought of, the husband, their father, being the man she wanted him to be. 

Ibis was already all over the place mentally at the news, bouncing from one idea to the next and it made the pale woman giggle, letting her ramble on before she added anything. I'm... Not sure? One thing was certain, she wasn't feeling very hungry lately. She did her best to eat something because she knew she had to, but other than that, her appetite was shot. What were you thinking of?

Then the obvious question came around, though she had the right to know, Reiko didn't quite want to answer. Her smile faded, should she tell her partner in leading this pack the truth? ... about that. Her voice went quiet, hoping that no one else would listen in, or could with how low she would talk from now on about the subject. I can't be certain who their actual father is... It could either be Takeshi, or Yuudai... or both. Clearly speaking of this was difficult as she spoke slow, choking on the words as they came.

Takeshi and I are mates now... but please keep Yuudai a secret. I don't know what others might think of me, of them, if they all knew. She chose to keep Takeshi's violation, or why they had two fathers a secret for now - not wanting to alert Ibis... he was her husband now after all... and her job as a wife had to be to protect him, yes? To protect his honour and image.
