This wasn't how Eljay had expected Teya to respond. He thought that she might want to ask him if she might be pregnant. He thought that she might be excited about it. After all, why else had she stole away with Reyes during her heat? Eljay could not help but wonder when she asked her bashful questions if he had failed in his duties as midwife to inform her of the consequences. She looked up at him with a hope that was hard to crush, and so Eljay at first only brought out: Oh, Teya...

He drew closer, planning to embrace her in a brief hug if she allowed it. Then Eljay said: Have you uhm — considered other options of what it could be? He regarded her, hoping that she would share her fears of the alternative. Hoping that he could talk her away from her fears if she really was pregnant (which, of course, he didn't know for sure yet; he hadn't actually checked her yet, but he had a hunch. it was hard to miss getting pregnant during heat).
