A fine jest, City. I fear what I may have done if it had been more than a jest. ( Idly, she flips her hair over her shoulder. ) As it stands, I am feeling like myself again.

( She rolls her shoulders, her gaze not wavering from the screen.)

Perhaps your intentions were good? ( She had been planning on giving birth to her no longer decaying brother before she came here. ) Shall I thank you?

( If a smile could create icicles, Alexiel's would cause the City to transform into a frozen wasteland. )

Be glad you returned him. ( She doesn't even need to draw her sword to make her point quite clear. Waging war on the City would be a much smaller feat than waging war on Heaven. )

What would you've done if I hadn't been returned? Do I even want to know?

Congratulations once more. [And actually meant this time.]

So easily forgiven?

You certainly look pleased.

...No more baby-bump? How tragic.

Is that what you see?

I neither forgive nor forget.

I believe you mean "what a relief".

You wouldn't like it.

Private

[confined_to_briah]

For you or for me?

I didn't think so.

But on second thought, I still want to know.

[indecent_butterfly]

Not at all. But One does believe this was your wish was it not?

Private

[worldofourown]

Well, you must admit. You had such a maternal glow.

[ Teasing you. ]

I would test the City's defenses. ( And then some. )

I'm surprised you haven't done that already.

Then again, I haven't done it because I can't afford to die here.

I have no desire to be a mother.

Private

[confined_to_briah]

I am not fit for motherhood. The child would have suffered.

Maybe I don't mind living in the City as much as I thought I would.

Then all worked out for the better.

I knew it had to be a curse. Pregnancies do not happen so quickly. ( Still, it had shaken her. )

One would certainly hope not, but it's never safe to assume anything in regards to genetics and unknown deities.

You're actually okay with it?

Haven't we really traded one controlling bastard for a controlling City?

[private]

[confined_to_briah]

Unknown deities? Are you assuming I sleep with many?

You are here...as are others. (This emotional stuff. What is it?) I could not be this close to you if we went back.

Not what was meant nor intended.

There is no knowing what these care to do, or play at, who is to say they couldn't or wouldn't change what should be a natural progression of time to merely days.
