“Tell me, Captain,” she says, her voice pinched shrill. “Why do you think I fled the Andiamine Heights?”
Even his blink seems a thing graven, as if mere flesh were too soft to contain such a gaze.
“Why does any girl flee her stepfather’s home?” she asks.
The lie is a foolish one: he need only guess at the length of her term to realize there is no way she could have been impregnated in Momemn. But then, what would a man such as him know of pregnancy, let alone one borne of a divine violation? Her mother had carried all her brothers and sisters far beyond the usual term.
I was re-reading WLW, Chapter 12 and I found this.
So Esmenet's pregnancies lasted longer than usual (11 months? 12?) while Mimara's seems to be shorter. Now I wonder if Esmenet ever talked about when she was pregnant of her.
I also wonder about the children born after 4121 (IIRC it's only Kelmomas and Samarmas) and if they were influenced by Kellhus being possessed by Ajokli.
Just to have a laugh I imagined some pillow talk like
"Kellhus love, you' ve never been so horn-y. Four times!"
"
Four is my number, baby"
