Macree and Wharac (2)
I looked at Wharac and argued with myself about getting my cousin to consider her notions. Finally, I took the leap, “If you’re planning on being Top Mother, you’ll have to have a pile of babies over many long seasons, Barnacle. Do you really want to spend most of your fun years pregnant just so you can boss the big bullies around later in your life?” I pulled up melon-to-melon with her. She was visibly surprised with the idea of sharing a serious talk with me and the subject of mating and calves was not something we’d ever discussed before with any sort of sober tone. She’d seen enough of the process and often enough to have a pretty good idea of the price pod mothers paid, even if the mothers hadn’t lectured her about it yet.
