Rezhyk paced a slow circle about the brazier. тАЬIf only we could arrange for her to take a long sea
voyage, or to go into seclusion in some distant cave for a while. How much time do you think the making
of the shirt would require?тАЭ

тАЬAs you said, you are no weaver. Perhaps a month. Perhaps two. No more than that, I think, if I show
you exactly what to do.тАЭ She held up a hand to stop his pacing. тАЬThere is a way to weaken her powers
for a month or two, my lord.тАЭ

тАЬYes?тАЭ

тАЬIf she conceived a child, the childтАЩs aura would interfere with her own. She would be limited, severely
limited.тАЭ

тАЬEnough ... ?тАЭ

тАЬEnough that she could hardly speak to a creature beyond her own castle walls.тАЭ

Rezhyk shook his head. тАЬShe would abort the child. She would abort it as soon as she realized it
existed. She could not allow that kind of vulnerability.тАЭ

тАЬA month or two, I said, my lord. Until she noticed the pregnancy. Until she noticed the curtailing of her
powers.тАЭ
тАЬShe might notice immediately.тАЭ

Gildrum spread her hands, palms upward. тАЬI have no other suggestions.тАЭ

тАЬWe would have to work quickly. A month is too long. Could I do it in a week?тАЭ

тАЬWorking night and day, my lord, working with perfect efficiency, you might possibly do it in a week. At
the end, you would be exhausted.тАЭ

тАЬI have no choice.тАЭ He opened the drawer where he kept his stock of ring-metal. Gold lay within, and
silver, copper, ironтАФwooden boxes held chips and chunks of each, surplus from old rings, and a few
small ingots. тАЬI have a gold bar, never used. Will that be enough?тАЭ

тАЬYes.тАЭ

He hefted the bar in one hand. тАЬThis will be a heavy garment.тАЭ

тАЬYou will grow strong wearing it.тАЭ

He set the metal on his workbench. тАЬWe have only one problem, my Gildrum.тАЭ He glanced up at her.
тАЬHow to bring about this pregnancy.тАЭ

Gildrum smiled. тАЬLeave that to me.тАЭ

RezhykтАЩs gaze traveled the length of the demonтАЩs girl-body. тАЬYou suit me well; but for her ... for her we
must give you another form.тАЭ
