Whatever it is, right now I'm not interested. I thinkтАФ" She broke off as Sarra turned slightly green. "Are you all right?" "Give me a minute." Sweat pearled her brow and upper lip. She wiped it away, grimacing. "Damn Elomar! He said this would stop once I was past my tenth week. And that was six weeks ago!" "Are you going to throw up again?" Cailet asked warily, ready to help her to a sink. "No. I haven't eaten anything all day, there's nothing to throw up. Oh, don't you start! I get enough cosseting from Col and Tarise!"
