Forgive me for being...selfish...

And I warn you, the subject matter of my question might be sensitive...

[But why not make this inquiry here rather than in his world where it would surely bring negative repercussions.]

What are your thoughts on two men being in a relationship? [He doesn't dare say married, but he is drawn to the idea.] Do you perceive it as...wrong? Should the men instead continue their respective lines with wives?

[Heirs are important. Yet can they not be had in other ways? Of course said ways are illegal and immoral in the land he knows.]

Yeah. It's tech that mimics a woman's body and basically allows us to make babies outside a woman. There's also a ton of laws around it.

[She shrugs a bit - Wait. What...? ] That... Wait, why would the sons be expected to pass on the family line when it's easier to track who the mother is.

[Sure, she's aware that a lot of worlds seem to be male-dominated for some unfathomable reason, but she's never thought to connect that to who's job it is to continue family lines.]

As there should be! What if the process goes horribly wrong? [He shudders to think about the monsters created.]

It is the opposite in my society. The father is the one acknowledged. If the child is legitimate then the mother's name needn't ever be said.

[And if they are illegitimate, well. It doesn't matter.]

I don't think it's ever gone wrong... or if it has I've never heard of it. [Because she's not in the medical profession.

But, moving on, there's a frown to her now as she tries to figure out what he means.] So, basically, in your world women are, uh... babymakers and nothing else, and there's such a thing as 'legitimate' and 'illegitimate' babies? And the woman doesn't get to pick what her baby's classed as?

[Her tone by the end says it all: what the hell??]

They would keep an incident of that nature quiet. [Meng Yao wants a child of his own, but at what cost? To go against nature?

To go against the gods?]

I would not say that is all they are. [His mother had been...everything...to him. If he marries a woman, he will treat her well.] Yes, legitimate babies are those had within a marriage. Those that are illegitimate are had outside of those confines.

A woman can choose who she spends the night with and that will be the best determining factor for her child.

[There's a nod- and a spark of respect that he refutes her words.] That's good to know.

[Then she bites her lip. mindful of the fact that this is over the ICPs and there's no way to private it.]

I... Do you mind if take this off the ICPs? I don't care if the whole train hears it, but I know others might.

We can meet if that is preferable? I like to spend time in the library or the garden. The former would be good for a quiet conversation.

[He respects secrets.]

Libary works.

[And saves then having to hope a quiet cabin's free.] I'm near there anyway, and I can grab us a table if I arrive before you?

I would appreciate it. I won't be long.

[He is dressed in grey robes and he moves swiftly and quietly. When you are accused of murder, you learn to be cautious wherever you walk. In the library, he searches for her, his brow furrowed pensively.]

[Eva offers a beckoning wave and friendly grin when she spots him.

And damn if that look doesn't remind her of Satoru and the rare times her Rival's ever shown his uncertainty.] Hey. Thanks for coming; I just figured it might be better to talk about this subject without everyone and their cat overhearing, you know?

[He lets out a breath upon seeing her, doing his best to mimic her smile. Bowing at his waist, his hands cupped before him, he gives her the respect she is due.]

I agree. Certain matters should be private and yet I did not know who to address directly.

Yeah, and if anyone takes issue with you loving another man, then that's on them, not you.

[A shrug, even as she invites him to take a seat.]

Besides, I'll admit I'm still hung up on the whole 'legitimate' baby thing. For me, for my world, all children would be 'legitimate'.
