Konstantyná turns to go home. She looks over her shoulder at Jin, Laenid, Hitome and Malyoxa. "If any of you end up pregnant, you know where to find me."
She then hurries home to tell Lucy the news.

Konstantyná nods at Toni. "Go ahead."
"That I cannot say," Konstantyná says to Hitome. "I no longer understand what Hyggindi is and he may possess other abilities to banish eidolons."
Konstantyná sighs to herself, then looks to see if Jin or Hitome have anything to add.
Konstantyná pinches the bridge of her nose. "Each one shall appear to whomever calls upon it. There is no telling where these eidolons may end up or what they may become. Eidolons gravitate towards those who have similar outlooks on life, but they are shaped by the summoner who brings them into this plane. In the service of one, it may appear as a dragon, but, to another, it may be goblin-like."
"They will remain on the Eidolon plane until someone calls them again," Konstantyná answers.
"Only Jin and Laenid will keep their Summoner abilities, Hitome," Konstantyná says before turning to Jin. "I am not the Szef, so my thoughts on the matter as a Midwife are unimportant. Personally, I am comforted by the fact that I can concentrate on my professional and personal life without also dealing with Summoner business anymore."
"I've already told you what I think and you're dead set on doing this anyway."
"Nothing will change except for the connection being broken," the Midwife answers.
"It doesn't work like that," Konstantyná says. "You'll still be a summoner because you were one before you were chosen to lead a House."
Konstantyná heads back home after acknowledging the others gathered in the living room with a brief nod.
"See if you can get her some orange juice," Konstantyná says. "It would be good for her. If there's nothing else, I'll head back home."
"You have a cold," Konstantyná says. "Just get some rest and drink plenty of fluids. You'll be fine in a day or two."
Konstantyná approaches the Szef and checks her vitals without waiting for permission.
She gives Drago a polite nod before returning her attention to Rajni. "Hopefully, it's just the weather getting to her and nothing more serious."
Konstantyná comes down the stairs with a small satchel slung on her shoulder. She looks at Rajni with a concerned expression. "Is Toni alright?"
"Just meeting up for lunch," the changeling says before waving at everyone. "I'll see you later." She departs out into the snow.
Konstantyná gets a faraway look in her eyes for a moment before shaking her head. "I'd better head back home. I'm expecting Arista."
"I believe you are confusing Summoners with paladins, Toni."
"If a dragon is involved, then Michael would be the best person to talk to," Konstantyná says.
"Either can," the changeling says. "They just have to have sufficient power."
"I've had three Summoners in the span of a month or so," Konstantyná remarks.
Konstantyná looks Auric over. "It may be a curse, but, without knowing who had done that to you, there is little we can do."
"Good morning, Jin," Konstantyná responds. "You are quite cheerful this morning."
Konstantyná smiles. "I'll have a tea as well."
"I see," the Midwife remarks. "Hopefully, it's nothing too serious."
Konstantyná arrives behind the others. "Guess I'm on time as well." She looks at Drago. "Are you alright? You don't look like you've slept well."
"In a couple of days," Konstantyná says. "There just been a lot going on that needs taking care of. If Laenid didn't need my support, I would stay here."
Konstantyná returns the hug. "I won't leave you to deal with this alone, but I must attend to my business first."
"Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that," Konstantyná says. "But I will do my best to ensure that I do."
Konstantyná narrows her eyes at the gnome. "Anyone ever tell you that you're too smart for your own good?"
"Away," Konstantyná repeats. "I'm sorry, Arista, but it is Summoner business."
The changeling nods. "I'm glad you let us know, Arista. We can do this another day, though. However, I may be away for some time soon."
Konstanyná raises an eyebrow. "Sounds like you'll have quite a few people there as it is. What do you think, Lucy?"
Konstantyná opens the door. "Good morning. Come in, come in." The Midwife smiles at Arista and Ylrhea. "What brings you by?"
"You know where to find me if you need me," Konstantyná says, heading to the door. "Don't worry too much about the details of cooking. You'll get the hang of it soon enough." She leaves Drago's home and heads back to her own.
"I'm glad that I can still be of some assistance to you," Konstantyná says, writing out her recipe neatly for Drago. "If that's all you need, I'm going to head back home."
"Stews are appropriate for the weather and pretty easy to make if you have the patience," Konstantyná says. "Find me a piece of paper and I'll jot down a simple recipe for you."
"It's not clear, just soothing and hypnotic," Konstantyná says. "Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about me. Was the sandwich the only thing you wanted to make?"
"A voice calling my name," Konstantyná answers. "But, perhaps, it's just my mind playing tricks on me."
Konstantyná nods. "I'm fine. I just thought I heard something..."
After the meat is cooked, Konstantyná takes the skillet off the stove and puts a decent amount of meat on each half piece of bread. "You can add things like lettuce and tomato to the sandwich if you want." Konstantyná stares off into space for a moment before shaking her head. "Pretty simple, no?"
Konstantyná takes the meat and tenderizes it with her bare hands. Once it's flattened, she cuts the meat into thin strips and puts it into a skillet. She sets the skillet on the stove and waits for the meat to start sizzling before turning it. "Why don't you cut some of that bread in half?"
Konstantyná chuckles while shaking her head. "Cooking is much like art. You will find your own style as you practice. All I can teach you is the basics. Where is your meat?"
"I think I can concoct a sliced beef sandwich without much of an issue," Konstantyná answers.
Konstantyná simply nods. "Any idea what you wanted to try cooking?"
"I'm guessing this is a new development since you gave up your Summoner powers?" Konstantyná asks.
"Thank you, Drago," Konstantyná says, stepping inside. "It must have been a boring book to make you tired this early."
Letting out a sigh, Konstantyná knocks on Drago's door again. He better not have forgotten that he asked me to come here.
