Library [11/21]

George was - well, he wasn't really doing much.

He'd finished the library chores fast enough but then there weren't much else to catch his interest. So he was tossin' a ball around and rather wishin' Beka were still a dog so she'd go chasin' after it and bring it back t'him.

"Mayhap in a few years," he teased. "Ye have a babe? How'd tha' happen? I don' think a book could teach ye how t'hold 'em."

"I'll have to look you up before we graduate, then," Karla teased back. "Remind you about our conversation in the library."

At his question, Karla sighed and raked her hand through her hair. "It's an assignment for Professor Skywalker," she whined explained. "Teaching us the repercussions of unbridled lust. Because, as a Healer, I hadn't seen most of the repercussions up close before ever getting here." Sulky Karla was sulky. "So I'm here to find some books to teach me how to take care of a baby. I've never actually spent time with one before."

"Twould be easier jus' t'give out charms aginst pregnancy an' tell everyone t'be wearin' 'em," George said, rolling his eyes. "Tisn't like people'll stop canoodlin' just cause th' teacher says."

"How have ye never seen a baby before?" asked the boy without younger sibs of his own. "They're all over at home whinin' and cryin' for their mam. Is yours all messy too?" He was getting up to go over to the books on babies though.

"Amulets?" Karla asked, far more interested in that than baby books. "I make a contraceptive brew every morning, but I've never heard of an amulet that does the same thing. How does that work?"

She followed him into the stacks, looking at all the different books about children. Why did there have to be so many? "Witches aren't very fertile," she explained while idly glancing at titles. "Most of the short-lived witches have only one child, two at the most, so no younger siblings and my only cousin is older than me. And my mother gave the members of her Court leave when they had a child, so by the time they came back, the babies were usually at least toddling around. I only ever saw a really little baby once."

And had dropped her. But details.
