Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luna continued to prepare for Ilea to give birth, clearly still quite excited about the entire thing. It wasn't often that she got to deliver someone's baby. For some reason, no one ever seemed to be willing to trust her to do it. She paused as she noticed Ilea reaching out for a scalpel. She watched her carefully, ready to intervene if the woman tried to do anything foolish. She frowned when she saw Ilea open her lips and slice through the threads that they hadn't been able to see. The fact that Goh had sewn his pregnant servant's jaw shut pissed her off. It almost had her ready to go after Goh herself, but she reminded herself that she had an important job to do here, and this one gave her the opportunity to bring new life into the world instead of taking it.

She was getting ready to get started when she heard Ilea speak. The woman's words caused her to freeze for a moment, and her insanity seemed to slip away for a moment as she stared at her and contemplated what to say. "You have to be completely sure that's what you really want, Ilea," she said calmly. "I've always wanted to raise a child of my own, but I've never had the opportunity. If you choose to give up your child to me, it isn't something that can be undone. You'll relinquish all rights to the baby, and there will be nothing that can be done later to change your decision. Demonic Law will recognize me as the baby's mother. The baby will never know you, and you'll never know the child you carried. Is that truly what you want?" Luna was completely serious in this moment. She knew that they didn't exactly have a lot of time for this conversation, but she needed to be completely sure that Ilea knew what it meant if she gave her baby to Luna. She needed to make sure that Ilea knew the consequences of the decision.
