Chimera

Viper didn't expect it as her job to tell him, and while she wasn't completely fond of Aliana, she didn't see the problem with the slave telling Chimera. Or, maybe if he wasn't so mad. "I didn' know that. I didn' know until Siren told me." And all of that was true. Viper didn't know Chimera expected her to tell him herself, and she didn't even know she was pregnant until Siren approached her, she thought she was just fat. Chimera acted like feeding more mouths would have been difficult, "We manage okay." She said, knowing that the two of them specifically had filled Ashen's stores beyond what they needed more than once, and had their own stores here on the island. She wasn't really defending having a baby, or maybe she was. Something was almost telling her to fight back. Some sort of instinct, some sort of defensive feeling. Unknown to her, Aranea had actually offered to abort her and Rain, so maybe there was some kind of spiritual wall showing her that she needed to have Chimera's babies. "Do you not care for them the way you care for me?" Was her only genuine question. Viper wasn't fit mentally to raise children, but that wasn't really up to anyone. If she kept them alive, raised them somehow, then it wasn't really anyone's business including Chimera's. "Chimera" -- "Viper"
