She explained that it was possible she wouldn't be used by the Thakur in the way he was thinking. He would use her as a pawn and spy for her advisers. They have loose lips around concubines. His eyes narrowed for a moment and she once again assumed that he had made a choice based on him pulling out of her. She might remove her hand from his chest but she finds his arm around her waist and his hand resting upon her hip. His eyes were locked onto her own.<strong>"What choice? I merely didn't want to get you pregnant. And it isn't because you aren't attractive or in any way unworthy of me. It's... irresponsible to place a bastard in you and then leave you with it. Especially when it could've harmed what I thought was your choice of remaining an exclusive slave to a powerful lord."</strong>He paused since he said too much about his own childhood. But he had already gone that far. Might as well elaborate.<strong>"I can tell you personally that being a Goldborn wasn't a pleasant childhood."</strong><br/><br/>But to answer her question about how long they would remain here, he simply thinks that one over. Perhaps this would be his best chance to make his own choice.<strong>"When I am satisfied with your answers, all of them, we can leave."</strong>He contemplates this thought since he had said why he had pulled out. He had to consider what she said and what he was going to say in light of such new information. Having a child whilst under heavy travel and dangers would prove very taxing on her. She did however say she was wanting a child, his child no less as proof of her decision. What decision? The one she had made concerning she wished to see the world as if she wasn't a concubine. A concubine typically didn't have such a choice. This to him didn't line up with what was said. Not by her previous owner's words or what the note said, much less what she spoke of.<strong>"Even if you were with child, even one with tiefling and angelic blood running through them, the situation wouldn't change. How would bringing a child in you change anything or show the Thakur, a decision?"</strong>Once again he is direct with his words. It wasn't enough that she explained the Thakur's motives, he wanted the explanation of her having his child. In his mindset he figured that this would break some kind of binding agreement between her two masters, her former and her future one. He doubted she would be in any good mood after such questioning especially considering his reasons for why he didn't knock her up. But now he was asking her for specifics on why this child she had once wanted was needed.
