"I do trust you, but you have seemed distracted lately. But when you want to talk, you know I'm here for you," Orshallan says, giving her a hug.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)
Loviana tenderly accepts the hug as a small adoring smile crosses her face, her voice sounds apologetic but with a hint of things to come, “I have been distracted my love but trust me… I’ll make it up to you when we reach the next town… We’ll talk about it then, okay?”

*Orshallan nods solemnly and the two proceed onward. Making good time, they clear the outlying farms, and head into the small town of Brooksboro. A small river runs through the town, and you can see a small group of water genasi pulling their laden boat to shore. They appear to be river traders. There are only two inns; the Gypsy's Thimble and The Lacy Fool's Jamboree. The Thimble seems to be where the better food and quieter entertainment is. The Jamboree is heard long before its seen, with loud music and raucous laughter filling the air around it.*
*As Loviana looks around the town, she catches a faint glimpse of what appeared to be a woman, robed and masked in black. Rings were pierced through her flesh, fixing the mask to her face. One of Loviatar's own. Just as quickly as she was seen, it was gone. Orshallan suddenly jerks around to look at the now-empty spot, and a fierce pain knifes through Loviana's belly.*

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)
The pain was excruciating; with cheeks stained with tears and eyes blurry from tears that Loviana gripped her stomach while leaning heavy against Orshallan, “Oh! Mistress… Orshallan their here! They’ve found us but I don’t know their intentions…”

*Orshallan turned to look at Loviana, and then quickly took the reins of her horse. Fast as the hooves could take them, he took them to the Thimble's courtyard. Throwing gold practically in the innkeeper's face, he bought a room and carried Loviana up to it. The pain faded bit by bit, no longer comforting as it had been in the past, but agonizing until it slowly slipped away. Orshallan removed a brazier and quickly lit a block of golden incense. As the calming scent filled the room, Orshallan breathed a sign of relief.*
"We're safe now, the room is warded. What happened? Tell me, if they cursed you, I will be able to undo it," Orshallan says with iron determination.

Smiling bravely through the pain, abit more manageable pain, Loviana replied with pure affection and love in her voice as her hands guided his to her belly, “My love, its not them who has “cursed” me, if that’s truly the term you prefer… I didn’t want you to find out this way, but fate fights me at every corner… Orshallan I’m pregnant…”

*Orshallan's jaw drops, and for several moments the former High Righteousness of the Invincible is as speechless as a fish. Then he pulls Loviana in a tender hug.*
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." he whispers, rocking back and forth with her. "How did you know? How did they know? How... oh, never mind. Loviana, you mean everything to me, and this is a blessing from all the gods," he says fervently.

Enjoying the moment Loviana tries not to think upon her worries but she goes cold and limp at Orshallan’s words, “It just might be all of the gods, Loviatar included… My love I’m careful, incredibly careful at that… I’ve taken my normal measures the whole time we’ve been together. I can’t prove it but I’m worried that the pregnancy might be Loviatar’s doing. Her priestess knew before I did that I was pregnant and it’s the child that the priestess wanted that night and not me.”

*Orshallan's eyes go black at that.*
"I can think of no other test that they would accept to let you back into the fold. Killing your own child, the representation of our love, would be a coup. A child while you are on the run will make for a difficult journey, but I would see no harm come to either of you. A child of both our blood will make for a very strong force in the world. I fear that if they cannot kill him, they would try to pervert him in order to shame and spite both of us," Orshallan says, his jaw tight. "I will not let them do anything against your will. Ever."

Loviana continues to find comfort in Orshallan’s arms while she tries not to worry about the future, but with little success, “I know you won’t my love but…” She words vanish from her as she tries not to comprehend them, could Orshallan truly protect her and her unborn child from those whom would do anything to harm her?
“What’s next? Where do we go from here?”
