I'M A VERONICA // pregnancy

[ARVID R.]

Arvid had heard about Aphra's particular reputation around the groups pretty early on in his Coalition life. He had even made a couple of comments about it himself, in the past. However, he hadn't expected her to be pregnant once more quite so soon. After all, her other kids within the group were all still pretty young, weren't they? He honestly couldn't tell if she just really enjoyed being pregnant, or if she just had downright awful sex education. Although honestly, he was starting to lean towards the latter.

Either way, he wasn't about to say anything disparaging about a pregnant woman. Particularly a pregnant dragon woman. Even with his dire wolf height and strength, he wouldn't be able to keep himself from getting chomped in half if Aphra really wanted to. Plus, he wasn't really all that disgusted by the whole situation. Rather, he was excited to see how the growing process of a dragon worked, from birth to adulthood. He seemed to have this glimmer of scientific excitement in his gaze as he moved to walk alongside Aphra, musing aloud, "Hey, Aphra. You gathering stuff for the kids? I'd recommend some things for a fire – something to keep the eggs warm when you're not around, y'know?" Sure, Aphra hadn't made a formal announcement of her pregnancy, but well... it was getting sort of obvious. He didn't think it was particularly taboo to talk about.
