I’m still worried that Hetty’s little girl might end up with FAS
Vash having a baby would be great. But with whom?
Ooooooh more baby drama! Will there be VashBabies as Tiffany’s second Prophetic Birthday dream seemed to suggest?!? That would be MAJOR baby drama.
Haha, the medieval soap opera writer in me wants a boy too. A boy for Brede to pin all his hopes on and make his heir. SO IRONICALLY. And a boy for K to pine over and wish he could teach him his own trade. There would be tons of drama in a boy, to be sure.
I guess it depends on what else is happening at various points in my outline. I just cut out (at least for now) a big dramatic bit of story because I have too many other things happening in March. So if things stay hectic for everyone else, maybe the K-by will have to be a girl, just to keep me sane. The K-by won’t be the only Baby Drama Storyline of 1086, you know! *runs away*
A girl probably would be less likely to cause catastrophe and heartache all around. But since catastrophe and heartache translates into OMGDRAMA!, I’m hoping it’s a boy
But elves, angels, and demons have genders too!
I personally think a girl would be less likely to cause catastrophe and heartache all around. But even then…
Well, Jenny, I was laughing about the same thing when I read Devin’s comment. But then I thought .… “Oh wait, she has elves, angels, demons .….”. In your story, ya never know!!
You hope it’s a boy or a girl? At least you’re not likely to be disappointed!
My sympathies to poor Anlaf. Better luck in the next life!
(I must have skipped this chapter mentally, I don’t remember it at all.)
This was really nice! I hope its a boy or a girl. I too hope Brede doesen’t come back, he doesen’t make Estrid happy any more.
I don’t have a lot of time to comment, I have to get going to class (first one of the year!) but I wanted to say this chapter was beautiful.
This was so beautiful. I love how this whole conversation is so intensely personal and yet it took place while they sat on separate benches.
And Shirtless K looks pretty damn phwoar even with his shirt on! But crud, I cannot imagine what the hell is going to happen when Brede gets home. I don’t want him to come home. I want Estrid and K to leave happily ever after with lots of babies. This is not going to be fun or pleasant
.
I love it how Congal is thinking about what Finn would do (WWFD). I didn’t really expect that. But obviously he does have a lot of admiration for him and his overtures at friendship are more along the lines of bosom friends than scruffing up the hair of a younger brother type.
I’m with everyone else… Eirik is in sore need of a dose of Sigi. Man, he is so chilling here. We get to see both sides of him and sometimes I find it jarring (not as in your writing is jarring… as in it makes it frightening to see how someone can be such different things at the same time). But that is how it is in reality… people can do terrible things and then go home and be the kindest, gentlest person to the one they love. I was shocked reading a biography of the Mitford girls at how kind and compassionate Hitler was to his friend Unity Mitford. It just made the things he did all the worse because he wasn’t just a rabid monster… a person who cared did those things. Which just makes it all the more awful.
I also noticed the lack of Gwynn mention. I sort of found it a bit ominous. Like maybe he would just head off into the sunset with Congal and forget all about Lothere
.
That being said, I really like the dynamic between these two. Congal is one of my new favourite characters (hell, the man has a wolf pelt guys… I mean come on!). I don’t want Finn to go off and get involved in the mess of politics that is going on. We can’t lose him again!
The first official mention of the (first?) K-by!
I’m happy for them. Scared as well, but mainly happy. I’m not worried about Brede thinking the kid isn’t his, based on the looks of his other children (that and I still think it would be hilarious if he named the K-by his heir), just about how they’ll continue when he gets back. They both want to keep seeing each other, but if I remember correctly, Brede was pretty strict about Estrid leaving the house
This was a gorgeous chapter, Lothere. K always has such rich, deep thoughts.
Wawa! I have a whole bunch of Karma I’ve been saving up for just such an occasion. I’ll donate to that fund…but only on the condition that we get to see it!
Wellllll. I have .… uhmmm .… ONE KARMA .… for “Get Eirik’s Ass Home to Sigi” fund. She can wield that sword against his butt … of course, the flat edge. “Bad Eirik, whap…Bad Eirik, whap! The sword edge might hurt alittle. Hmmm, not sure if one karma will do it though. (Sorry for shouting)
I agree Wawa! I miss Sigi. Maybe Eirik should take a break from being Eirik Brass-Dog, and go be Eirik pig-dog with his wife and sons, and the little one (hopefully a girl!) who is on the way. I suppose he has to finish whatever it is he is up to first though.
All I can say to that last line in your comment is .…. “Bring on Sigi then!!”
*runs away* *RUNS AWAY* Oh God .…. Angst!!
