Did not mention in yesterday's discussion about Whitemane that you CAN have a improperly dressed holy woman among an army of knights in heavy plate armor, Diablo 4 did it with Prava, who walked naked and barefoot in a potato sack in HELL and was somehow the only survivor*. You just gotta ✨️ Sell It ✨️
![Composite digital art with backgrounds kindly borrowed from Final Fantasy 14. "Lover", a tall, heavily pregnant Elezen man in his early thirties, is at the surgery of Dr Larimar, a dark skinned Hyur Highlander Origenics specialist, sitting on the edge of an examination table and dressed in a pale blue hospital gown, happily cradling his very round, very due belly with both hands as he smiles at Dr Larimar. Larimar is smiling back at him, printed readouts in hand. Their dialogue reads:
Larimar: Well, everything looks fantastic! Baby's aether has completely separated from yours, so we can get you booked in for your delivery whenever you'd like.
Lover: Actually, Doctor, about that...
Larimar: Yes?
Lover: I think I'd like to try giving birth at home this time. Would that be possible?
Larimar: Oh! I don't see why not, especially given your superb track record, haha. I'll get everything organised so that I can be on call for you. Just give me a ring when baby is on the way and the team and I will be right over.
Lover's narration dialogue reads:
Well, the contest was a wash. I conceived successfully - how could I not? - but I've no idea who made me pregnant in the end. That's fine, though. [heart emoji]

![A continuation of the scenario in the previous image. Lover is now sitting on a couch at Mosaic with his friends: "Pet", a young, light-skinned Miqo'te with his hair and tail dyed a bright teal, "Sweetheart", an Au Ra in his late 20s with lavender-coloured skin, white hair and ivory-coloured horns and scales, and "Darling", a Hyur Highlander in his mid-20s with olive skin and pinkish red hair. They are playing a game amongst themselves, asking Lover "yes or no" questions and trying to guess the species of the baby he's carrying. While Lover, one hand on his pregnant belly, reclines contentedly against Sweetheart, who has one arm around him, Darling and Pet lean towards him with excited interest, Darling smiling happily at Lover while Pet peers with delighted curiosity at Lover's belly. Their dialogue reads:
Darling: Is it somethin' you've had before?
Lover: No. [heart emoji]
Pet: Is it a beastkin?
Lover: No. [heart emoji]
Sweetheart: And you say you're absolutely certain that there's only one? It felt like more when I felt it moving earlier.
Lover: I wonder why that could be...! [heart emoji]
Lover's narration dialogue reads as follows:
Even if the original contest wound up getting thoroughly scuppered, now that I'm so close to giving birth, one of our other, more regular games is heating up. They still haven't managed to guess what I might be having. [heart emoji]

![A continuation of the scene in the previous image. The view has drawn in close to Lover, surrounded by his friends, hand resting on his belly as he smiles at them mischievously, all of them smiling back at him with excitement. Their dialogue reads:
Darling: Not a beastkin, not anythin' you've had before... hmm...
Lover: Well, if you're all stumped...!
Lover: ... Perhaps we should go back to mine and find out exactly what I'm having, eh? [heart emoji]
Lover's narration text reads:
Having the baby is always the most exciting part, but I have a feeling that this time is going to be especially rewarding. [heart emoji]
