Babies and Wet-Nurses: A Conversation

[Laurel]

"A man who's responsibilities have drawn him elsewhere. I thought him without love or honor once, but though he is far from me, I know that my child will have his love," she resonds coolly, looking to no one in particular.

Smiling, L'Aurel vacats the chair beside Jansten motioning Dara to it, "A child needs lots of love, and you seem to be giving your a hearty dose of it. How far along are you, Lady Goldenblade?"

 

[Laurel]

You should probably whisper that, and perhaps kick his shins under the table, or something (lighten the mood, a bit).

Since do at every other one of these- do we have the rings on?

L'Aurel for one does.

 

[The_Universe]

Her eyes narrow, suddenly alert - suspicious. "Nearly the same as the Queen, the Lady Rhynn. My child is likely to share...a birthday...with the prince or princess. I could hope for nothing greater."

 

[Archon]

Archonus rolls his eyes then looks away.

 

[The_Universe]

Since do at every other one of these- do we have the rings on?

L'Aurel for one does.

Unless you tell me they're not on, I assume that they are.

 

[Laurel]

Still smiling, and trying to ease whatever she might have said, "Perhaps they may also come to be friends."

 

[Xath]

Xath is also wearing the ring. So how do we handle searching for nursemaids? Do we tell them that Archonus is expecting a child? With who?

 

[The_Universe]

Still smiling, and trying to ease whatever she might have said, "Perhaps they may also come to be friends."

She visibly calms. "Perhaps."

 

[Laurel]

OOC- Obviously

Xath is also wearing the ring. So how do we handle searching for nursemaids? Do we tell them that Archonus is expecting a child? With who?

We should be able to ask this without giving a specific reason:
We are at war. For the hope of future generations we need to know if there are women willing to act as nursemaids. If orphans are found they need to have a place to go, as I hope we are not okay with letting them die.

How would the Amastatians view the whole nursemaid idea?

As I stated before, with the amount of cities that have been hit and the vast levels of population there have to some people who have already done this. I'm not saying we have hundreds of women searching for this position, but it does happen and is not a far fetching idea.

keep going with the IC thing, but I was trying to simply ask or find out if we couldn't ask Freckles to make a mother like bag. We can get milk, and even specific milk from mommies in the area (even Jaine secretly) and feed the kid that way. No need to indanger yet another individual or thier kid.

 

[Laurel]

OOC- did she take the seat?

She visibly calms. "Perhaps."

Smiling wishfully, "I wish someday to have children as well. The light has given you a rare gift, to love a child and the love of its father."

Through the rings, "I am NOT going to ask her to endanger herself or the child, so if you wish this done. Ask her."
