<strong>"Girl,"</strong>Tera answered very quickly.<strong> "Definitly a girl.  Men in this land... well... when they do happen..."</strong>She shuddered slightly and moved to prepare some tea.<strong> "Well, you've met Meat I assume?  Mari used to be fully human I'm told, a while back, before I came here.  But she changed over time, and when she gave birth... it was obvious Pandora's corruption had soaked into her womb." </strong>She shuddered slightly.  Then whispered, to herself, but just loud enough that Izusa's sensitive tufted ears picked up,<strong> "Not like him."</strong>She also couldn't help but notice the way Tera's hand fluttered over her own abdomen for a moment before she quickly poured the boiling water over a filter with tea leaves into a pot.  Then moved to pour the tea into two mugs, bringing one to Izusa.<br/><br/><strong>"So,"</strong>she said only after Izusa had finished requesting a blessing from Shoni over the blanket.<strong> "How does this work?  What, what do we do next?"</strong>She seemed nervous and brought her own tea mug to her lips to try to cover the nerves.
