"What would Veran do if he impregnated Schala?" [IC Prompt]
The day started out relatively relaxed, working a bit on his projects. Some light reading here and there. In fact, he was in the middle of a rather nice little book when there was a sudden feeling of foreboding. He wasn’t sure what it was exactly that suddenly made his hair stand on end but as his door flung open he had an even worse feeling he was about to find out. Especially when it was revealed to be Schala, looking none too happy about something. There was definitely a death glare involved.He was definitely in fear for his very life and he wasn’t even aware of what he’d done yet. He immediately skittered back and away, dropping his book and ears pinned back against his head. He was going to die. He knew it. Whatever it was that had Schala upset was going to be the death of him. All 9 lives. Gone. Out the window. He was so screwed and he knew it.“YOU.”The word just cemented his fears. His death sentence. He didn’t know what he did yet and he was already regretting every second of whatever it was. Oh god, that was definitely a lance being drawn. “W-Wait. L-Lady Schala…C-Can’t we just talk this out?” The butt of the lance was coming at him. He ducked under his desk, wincing as he heard the lance do some sizable damage to the furniture. Veran felt himself getting pulled out from under his desk by the tail before she suddenly moved to grab the collar of his shirt staring him down with what was probably the scariest stare he’d ever seen in his life.Speaking of which, that was flashing before his eyes about now.“…Pregnant. You… You got me pregnant.” His thoughts just immediately stopped. In fact, he just completely froze stuck in this odd sort of disbelief and incredibility. There was no way she just said what she thought she said. He misheard. He had to have misheard. He tried to speak up to ask her to repeat herself. The only thing that came out was a tiny squeak.“Wha…”“…You heard me! I’m not going to repeat it!” He let himself be shoved back, staggering into the damaged desk and swallowing as he stared at her. He still wasn’t entirely able to believe what he was hearing. This was… Well, he didn’t even know what this was. But there were now so many questions racing through his head that he didn’t even know where to start or what to do. Was he supposed to apologize? Is that something you can just apologize for? What were they going to do? The mere idea of being a father had never even occurred to him before. The idea wasn’t… well, he didn’t think it was a bad idea. Thought. Concept. He wasn’t sure it was something he was ready for now though. And with Schala? Well, he supposed it wouldn’t be so bad with Schala. Maybe. What? He was going to try to pretend that thought hadn’t just occurred to him like that.
“What…What do we… do…?” The lance was slammed into the wall just above his head. He whined softly.
He never asked for this.
Death probably would have been a mercy at this point.
