Oh. Oh.

Junna did her best to hide behind a steeled face, belying the knowledge that lurked just beneath her skin. The semblance of knowledge, that is. What Junna thought ever since the whispers of her Empress's chosen erupted over the Dynasty. Though it was a theory, it was conjured from every symptom listed by her maiden.

Nausea. Fatigue. Stress. Behavioral changes.

My Empress, She started, words a quiet hum in comparison to the woman's hurried tone. From what I can tell, your condition, it is serious but not life-threatening. But to be sure, you must be entirely forthright. The woman slid a thin mint-leaf-and-blueberry-piled piece of bark towards Izumi. It was not as though Junna thought the Empress would lie to her, but some...women and men found themselves less inclined to be honest with their caretakers. Privacy held no wall between that of a healer and their patient.

What occurred at this wedding? I assumed you enjoyed yourself, as one should? As one who has recently claimed their mate would've. Junna offered her a sympathetic smile.

From what I can glean from those here, Osamu likely would not have left your side in the midst of, well...strangers. In realizing that— She paused to nudge the herbs closer in a quiet ask for her to chew. You must shift your fear and worries aside, and focus on the reality. Not what could've happened, but what did.

Did you see someone mingle too close? Did the meat look more green than pink? The water stained and mossy? Did you...or did you not...convene...with a certain male with the help of aphrodisiacs available at your disposal amidst unfamiliar soil?

Welcome Back!

Greetings Stranger!
