“Well hey, I’ll warn them about that potential scenario but I’ll have to figure out how to do that without causing any trouble for us. Or without lying.” All things considered, Nero could probably figure out how to do that, he was a people person after all.
With Zhalla’s slowly accelerating reaction to the information, Nero’s smile widened until he was beaming from ear to ear; a shimmer of gold in his eyes returned. “You’re right, it’s not funny, but it’s not a joke.” Just as she had thought, Nero didn’t give her a ‘gotcha’ or other classic prank gesture, he was being completely serious. “Fuckin’ hell yeah I’m serious!” Nero responded, gently giving Zhalla a little squeeze with his arm still around her. He excitedly took a huge bite out of his comically large chicken wing. Such a momentous occasion was deserving of tasty food.
“Hrrm,” Nero was eager to explain how to proceed to Zhalla, but he didn’t want to look like a dumbass by talking with his mouth full of food. So, he slowly finished chewing before immediately launching into details. “Okay, so, normally you’d want to see an elder or a village hatchery attendant, they’re good at this sort of thing. However, given my status that would draw even more attention to us and that won’t be great for your stress levels I think.” Nero gave himself a moment to think, there was still a way to get the information that they needed. “I could ask mum, she could do it, but she’s minding the shelter kids right now... I mean, yeah I will have to tell her as soon as we know and it would be easier if she helped us confirm it but she’d also have to bring all the kids here too. That much commotion wouldn’t be good for your stress levels either.” Everything for Zhalla’s comfort, as always. “There is one more person that I can call upon for this. Grandpa Bagapa. Man, I can’t imagine how excitedly he’d react knowing he’d have even one great grandkid. He almost flew straight out of his shell when he heard aunty Iolin had Tu’un and Bii’ta!”
