Not without my share of upset, but those were the children I would be forced to have, not those I would choose.
[ The idea of birthing some old man's child would fill few with glee, she's sure. There is a difference between choosing motherhood and being a breed mare. ]
I suspect that any interaction I have with Abby could not really be called 'raising'; the girl is likely an adult by the standards of wherever she comes from.
[ There's the audio equivalent of a shrug. ]
Do you know what the Ambassador's plans are? I imagine Riftwatch will continue to exist, in some capacity or another, at least for a while.
[ It makes her easy enough to track, so Sidony knows when to be ready to answer the door. ]
End our marriage? I am uncertain. It does offer a certain kind of protection that cannot be found otherwise, but it is hardly a true marriage, nor one of romantic love.

[ The idea of being forced to marry and have children when one doesn't wish to do either would fill any woman with trepidation, Adrasteia is sure. ]
But tell me, as I make my way to the ferry — what do you want from the future for yourself? Once the war is over.

I'd like to continue my work. Perhaps learn more in Nevarra, but that may depend on outside factors. I am still married.

[ Arms. ]
But all the same... No, I've no clue. I'm certain he would be content to dismiss my wifely duties, however, should I wish it.
no subject
[ Arms, definitely.
The sounds around Adrasteia change. She's gone from in the tower, to outside, to now at the ferry awaiting its arrival. ]
Do you think you'd want to?

Adrasteia imagines not, but. She's also not going to ask. Not right now, anyway. ]
He's lucky to have you.

[ Then, in a softer voice - ]
As lucky as I am to have you, also.

I feel very blessed to know you and to be as close as we are. I care a lot about you, Sidony. I hope you know that.
no subject
[ Her voice is much quieter now, so as not to be overheard, just in case. ]
I would rather like to kiss you. Sooner, rather than later.

I can see the ferry now; it won't take me very long to reach you.
