April inna bar, looking rather pleased with herself.

She's got a couple of full notebooks sitting next to her and is transferring the contents (her novel) onto the laptop in her lap.

She's been at this for a while - she'd welcome a distraction.

April had been trying very hard not to cry, and succeeding nominally. But then Khemry hugged her.

And it all fell apart. She was sobbing, crying harder than she could remember crying since Roger left a year ago, crying for herself and for her lost opportunities, clinging to Khemry like a lifeline and not even caring that she'd never met this woman before in her life.

A harsh blow indeed...

Khemrys was a healer, and not all healing took place in the body...so she let the woman cling, gently stroking her hair.

"There are many powers here, Lady, perhaps there is yet hope...I know that my dear friend is with child, and yet her husband is dead..not quite your case, but...hope..."

Hope. That's all April had, really. Hope that she could maybe have a family someday. Her own family. Because as much as she would love a fostered child as her own, it wouldn't be the same.

Eventually, she calms down enough to wipe her eyes and let go of Khemry's arm. "I'm sorry," she mumbled, trying to get her composure.

"It is well, Lady April, I did not mean to bring you such pain" Khemrys admitted, slipping back to her chair gracefully and starting to gather her herbs.

[Have to be up for work in four hours O_o night!]

[Night! I'll talk to you later. love! ]

"It's... it's not your fault." April said softly. "I needed to find out sooner or later."

And it was better not to find out when she was actively trying to have children.
