XRia: It's kicking again, the stupid thing.
Travis: ... she. That's right, isn't it? The doctor said you'd have a girl?
Ria: I guess. It was just this thing for so long, you know? This thing I was trying to pretend wasn't happening. This thing that was ruining my life. I ain't quite got the hang of it being a person, yet.
Travis: But that'll change once you have her. Babies are so sweet.
Ria: Didn't grow up in a big family, did you?
Travis: Um --
Ria: They're ugly, they're noisy, and they stink. They only care about you when you're feedin' em, or when something's wrong with 'em. And you can never leave them alone, so you don't ever get to do anything except take care of the kid. For years and years and years. I mean, I'll do right about it. Not the poor dumb thing's fault that Mama's an idiot. But by the time I'm done with it I'll be old.
Travis: ...What happened to bundles of joy?
Ria: That's the lie they tell you when they talkin' you into babysitting.

The King is dead, but not the war: for honor, for glory, for the relics of the Shattered Plains. Slave and general alike are bound to the war machine. But the king-killer and his long-dead magic will change everything....
