"I don't mean to pry, but is the father around?"

*A faint trace of pain went over Malefica's face by the mentioning of Icarus. Her marriage was not a happy one. But it was all she had. And no matter how bad her husband treated her, she still loved him.*
"No, he is not here."

"I am sorry."
He looked her in the eyes.
"I apologize for burdening you with this, but I must speak about it to somebody. Dewshine is very displeased at the thought of being a mother. It worries me the way she talks about the child. I simply cannot stand it that anybody could talk about their child like that, product of rape or not."

*Malefica looked at him, and her beautiful face turned white.* "Wait - Dewshine is pregnant? You're talking about a rape. Did you rape her?" ((She knows nothing about Tyldak ))

Walter did not like the idea of being accused of rape.
"Not at all, my lady! You mean, you haven't heard?"

*Malefica looked at him, a bit confused. She had been so busy preparing for her own fight against queen Lilith of Hell that she hadn't gotten all the news around the world.*
"No, I can't say I have. What happened?"

"I'm afraid I don't know the details. I was not here when it happened, we met later. And if I did know, it really isn't my place to say. I shouldn't have said what I have. I apologize."

*Malefica looked worried.*
"How long have you known her? Because elves don't carry their children as long as humans. If I know how long time it has been since the rape, I might be able to help her."

"I've known her less than a week, to be sure. A few days at most. I... had a silly childish crush on her. But now, knowing how she feels about her own child... I don't know. I realize it is hard for her, but she..."
He trailed off.

*Malefica looked at her with her 2000 years of life experience showing in her eyes.*
"She didn't want the child and threatened to kill it? She is a child herself... almost. In human years, she is anything between 13 and 15 years old. Her maternal instincts is not developed yet. It will come with time."

((I thought she was almost 18?))
"I don't suppose you could talk to her for me? I've tried to reason with her, but I was irritated and you know her so much better than I ever could."

((She is. Malefica is counting wrong, not keeping track of the difference between human and elven years. Please feel free to correct her. Dewshine's exact age should be around 17))
*Malefica smiled mildly.*
"I don't know if I know her much better than you. I helped her to the world when she was born. But that's a while ago."

"I've only known her a few days. However, did you say she's only 15 in human years? I'm sorry, I had no idea. The crush I spoke of... I thought she was almost 18, and even then... it's absolutely unforgiveable."

*Malefica furrowed her elegantly formed eyebrows.*
"No, wait. Forgive me, I was counting wrong. She IS almost 18, if she hadn't had her 18-year birthday already."
*She looked at him and smiled.*
"There is nothing wrong with falling in love, Monsieur. Take away love, and the earth is a tomb."

"I assure you, ma'am, those feelings are passed. She is a lovely young girl and I do care for her deeply, but, I've felt too much scorn. I must remember I am not here for love, I am here to help those who need it."
