Kiddo,
How much longer do you spend with Zero before heading out to talk to VB? She's sitting with the girl from before, they're talking and playing with a small doll, hand-spun and colorful. They look up and smile at you. Do you pull her away from what she was doing?
Comments
It was a little past supper when I finally got up to go find Vee. For the first time in a long while, I'm actually feeling really good. No nausea, no sensitivity, just ... Me.
... Well, me with 7 spare pounds, but me none the less.
I come padding up to Vee on the couch and quietly take a seat next to her while she plays with the little girl. I wrap my arms around her waist, and rest my head on her shoulder while they chat — marveling in how great she is with this child, and smiling contentedly at how lucky I am to have her.
I give Vee a gentle peck on the cheek, and wait patiently for them to finish their game — playing along if they decide to invite me.
Valor giggles and then she grins when you wrap your arms around VB. VB coos and snuggles into you like she's craved this all day long. It turns out that this doll has super powers, and she flies around the ship making flowers grow. And helping little kids. Like Valor.
What's the doll's name, Kiddo?
The game comes to an end when Valor's mom comes up the steps the infirmary and calls for her. She sneaks in a hug, and then pretend flies the doll away.
VB makes a mmn noise and snuggles into you.
What do you do?
"Mmm... Big Momma's been having some cravings lately, my little honeybee. Have you eaten yet?"
There's meal bars in the infirmary, just chewy morsels with lots of vitamins and almost no taste, or you could go down to Chef's place, but that's where the council is.
What do you do?
Doing anything special during "your time"?
Like I said: today is VB appreciation day.

Q1: what does VB desire/need most?
I kiss her gently on the forehead, and smile, "I love you more than anyone in the world, Hon. Seeing you with Valor shows me that you're not just going to be a good auntie... You're going to be a good Mommy... Nezzy wants me to join this council of hers. I want to say yes — but if you aren't here with me, it would never feel like a home. Could you see yourself living here? Like... For good? With me, and baby?"
She illustrates the point by kissing your face, like she's worshiping its form. "Kiddo... what can I do to help you?"
I pause, "just be the amazing woman you've always been, and help me push like you have since we got here."
