Welcome to Gaia! ::

A group of travelers had moved through the village and Eziya had taken notice. They'd stopped by several shops to stock up on supplies of many kinds, and even now a couple lingered outside of her own shop. She watched from the window, curious if they would come inside but not wishing to pressure them into anything. Several moments passed before she saw movement and shifted away from the window to ensure she did not look like a creep staring out at them. Busying her hands with sorting salves and bandages, the gentle chime of her bell sounded as they stepped into her shop.

"Welcome in! How may I help?" Eziya called out, wandering over to the couple. A taller ice male stepped forward, offering a wave as a wind woman somewhat hid behind him. They were a cute pair, and Eziya tried to contain a smile as she looked towards them.

"Hello to you, miss. We were just traveling through and required some....aid. My partner seems to be feeling ill as of late and it has been impacting our journey." The woman behind him nodded, stepping forward as if she had been called upon.

"Oh I see now. How long has it been going on for? Have you ruled out the potential for anything like pregnancy?" Both of the duo paled at her question, glancing back and forth between her and each other. Sometimes Eziya truly wondered if people forgot it a possibility, or if the preoccupation of other things simply got in the way.

"Give us a moment, yes?" The man spoke quickly, gently grabbing the wind woman's arm and tugging her towards the door as they spoke in hushed whispers to each other.

Eziya wondered how she and Serr might have reacted to things if something like that had happened while they traveled. With Fiiadri and Taarum they had been lucky in a way having Fiia and Thess settling in while the two of them were planning what they wanted to do with their future. On the other hand if they had still been traveling when she was pregnant it would have been very different. Though in her case it might not have been so bad. She knew the signs to look for, even back then. Her work as a healer had helped her in many cases with others and she thought it would equally benefit her when thinking of herself. If they traveled now and for some reason decided to have more children she was sure she could manage it. Eziya was older and wiser for sure, but on top of that she knew whatever happened she and Serr would be okay. They were Eziya and Serr, Serr and Eziya, the best married couple around in her eyes. They always knew how to support the other, and had known deeply who they were with the other even from a young age. If anything she would only trust herself to know what to do in such a situation. Maybe that was something to consider. Another inkling of a thought on whether or not they should stay or go once again. Whatever they decided she would want it to be with Serr and no one else.

For a time she moved back to organizing her stock, fingers running over familiar bottles and looking over spots the kids had hid or Serr had ducked into while she worked. There was a history in these walls now, much like there was adventure beyond. Was she willing to trade the history of her family for life on the road again? It would not have to be permanent, of course. Returning was always an option they had open to the both of them, but would they want to after traveling yet again? Either way she thought she was okay with the outcome. She did wonder if Serr would laugh at her over it and her worry. Maybe find it funny that she was being the restless one of the two of them. Eziya had always thought it was Serr who needed to be moving and on the go, his hands struggling to be idle for too long, but perhaps they were both just as incapable of standing still. The only thing that had situated them in the first place was the fact that the children had been born. She glanced over to the door again, caught in her own considerations as the couple looked back and smiled sheepishly.

"Uhm, excuse me again, miss. My apologies, but if that would possibly be the case is there a way to well....what should we do? Is traveling bad for such a thing?" The man asked, casting a worried glance over to the woman beside him holding onto his arm now.

"Not necessarily bad, just something that comes with its own challenges. You will have to make adjustments if this is the case. Consider where you travel, how it will affect you all, and also if you wish to travel with a child. There are plenty who do it, but you have to think of weather, resources, dangers. I am not telling you no, but I am saying be careful and perhaps pack some extra supplies for possible illness and injuries. If a baby is in your future they may have a weak constitution especially at first."

The couple slowly nodded, gathering up supplies she had set out and eagerly purchasing them before waving her off and rejoining their companies with a different sort of pep to their step. Seeing them continuing on like they were even with the potential for a child certainly gave Eziya her own ideas.
