The girl's smile grew considerably at Ziazan's hug, even if she wasn't quite comfortable with hugging back. "We had a good enough time, I guess..." Well, not really. It had just been one disaster after the other, but Ziazan didn't need to know that. "Hm? Oh, yeah, you mean..." What was the boy's name again? "Kelly? I haven't met him yet, though." The only thing she knew about the kid was that he looked a lot like Faolan.

"Things didn't go exactly as planned there?" Zia asked knowingly. "At least you're home now and everything will be alright. No worries at all." It nodded at her mentioning of Kelly. "He's a nice kid, but he's a little broken. Ellandra's been a big help getting him out of his shell."

Lee felt a little guilty, realizing that it wasn't easy to lie to Ziazan. She nodded at the mention of Ellandra, however, happy to be off the subject for now. "Seems like she would be. I dunno if I should meet him yet, though. Not until he's better. I'm not all that good with delicate situations..." she admitted, rubbing the back of her neck nervously.

"He's your family, too, in a way," Zia told her. "Fao's your brother as far as the clan is concerned. Besides, Rory's little sister has quite the crush on the boy. I'm sure you'll hear about him more and meet him soon enough." It gave her a look, studying her. "Something's wrong, isn't it? You look kind of worried."

Looking to her feet, Lee shrugged, chuckling a bit under her breath. Ziazan knows all. "Yeah, well, I'm always worried." It was a semi-humiliating issue to her, and she wasn't too keen on having others know about her and Rory's recklessness. Then again, it was pretty difficult keeping such things from this particular essentic.

Zia just smiled. "I told you, everything's alright. You don't have to worry. Not about that."

"Eh? What do you mean? What's 'that'?" She blinked, pretty sure that she knew what it was referring to, but not knowing how it would know something like that. How did Ziazan know it would be alright?

Zia pointed to her tummy. "I couldn't help reading your worry when I hugged you and then what it was you were worried about. So I looked. Sorry if I overstepped my boundaries."

Lee shook her head softly, still eying the essentic. "No, that's... How do you know that, though? How can you be sure?" She wasn't going to be relieved until she was absolutely certain there would be no babies crawling around inside of her any time soon.

"I can tell the difference in how a woman feels when she's with child, Lee, and you're not. Did you want to be?" Zia asked, tilting its head.

Lee's eyes widened, then soon narrowed as she answered, "No! No, nooooo. No." Blinking, she looked off, realizing that she'd just gotten her pregnancy test. And it came back negative. Thank god. Bringing a hand to her cheek to rub it, she visibly relaxed, actually smiling now. "Thanks..." she managed to look up at Ziazan, her smile widening. Hopefully this was good news for Rory, as well.

"You don't want babies with Rory?" Zia asked, curious about their relationship. The only example of human love it had so far was Ellandra and Fao, and they were, well, bunnies.

"Nnnh... Not right now, no. We're... really young." She shrugged, now feeling a little bad. Should she want babies already? "I dun think he's ready for them, either, though." She paused a moment, biting her lip before speaking again. "Did you read anything about marriage and stuff? When you hugged me, I mean." As if it wasn't obvious what she was implying now. She may as well just come out and say 'we're getting married'.

"It's probably better then if you're both not wanting children yet. You two should be ready for them when they come. You're not going to be bunnies like Mama and Fao, are you? I mean, Kelly aside, they're gonna have three kids to look after now," Zia said, shaking its head, then looked up at her. "I can't tell you any futures. I can only see what I read. Rory's a good guy and he's grown up exposed to very happy marriages. I think he'll make a good husband for you. Is that what you're worried about?"

The number of children Ellandra and Faolan had these days seemed to be multiplying rapidly. They were up to four? Why hadn't she heard about this? She figured this was something she should bring up with Ellandra herself, and decided to ignore it for now. Ziazan seemed to know they were getting married, though. "N-no, it's not that... I just don't... want him to regret marrying me..." Her voice grew softer with each word she spoke, both from the disheartening words themselves and the fact that she wasn't comfortable saying these things with a mass of people around her. Not to mention, she found she sounded rather pathetic, putting her worries into words.
