Hello loves! While I haven't been writing, I have been working on updating some issues that have been hanging around on the layout! The Character change box is now at the bottom of the page, beside the up/down arrows! Green and Gold dragon flight dates have been shifted to the bottom of the page, where the (useless!) discord widget was located. Where the dragon flights were in the header, is now replaced by a Monthly Event box! This will be updated at the start of each month, with a fun mini-event you can take part in, if you want to! Thistle!

Lymsleia took a deep breath seemly much better after her imprompt and perhaps unlady like venting session at D'ren. She turned to Tsuen. "I understand." she begins. "I guess I just worry, as a healer, in that regard, too many , too many pregnant women at once is a strain, and too many small children born around the same time, would be a strain on all of us." she gestures to Tsuen. "As you said the creche helps, but what about opening up to the North?" she asks politely. "In all seriousness."
The dark-skinned woman walked around to the other side of Tsuen, and finds an appropriate place to stand. "Its is not to be rude, but I do worry, you said it yourself we can steal from the North, self-sustaining population is important." she thinks on something a moment. "I saw we open up to the north, Take those they do not 'want'." she explains. She keeps her arms down to her sides. "Easy to do, we can send some people to canvas the north, say its a new minor hold.." she says politely.
"Make it a bigger plan, hide the dragons, and have a small ship or a large ship on the coast. And say this will transport them to the new hold." she leans back. "But then we put them on he boat and after a little bit, we can get the dragons to... do something,between the large boat, and move it to the seas closer to the weyr, we can do that, can't we? All the people settling down in the hold. Make it dark enough so they don't notice the absence of light..." She tries to keep her ideas reasonable as she speak. But it was a decent plan-she thought. Moving people on-mass. "They can set the boat down in a harbor and explain the truth. Its new not 'hold', but a Weyr. It we take women and families and children and men this way. Instead od the Stealing.. it'd be honest and as legitimate as you can get..."
"Why taking the people the 'north doesn't want. The illegitimate children of someone, the harper apprentice who never succeeded. I think its just a better idea than mandating that women reproduce. Alternatively, you could stagger the women having children. By stagger them, you keep anyone from just producing children endlessly. I just don't like te idea of mandating it, even if it was for the good a Weyr, a woman needs to have a choice. Somewhere do not want, or are not ready for children." she explains. She speaks calmly and openly. Her blue-grey eyes wander the crowd and settling on people. She takes a step back. "It's an idea. I just don't like 'forcing people especially women who.. have a choice. As healer, I dispense, knowledge and contraceptives... there are ways to both increase and decrease fertility. And there will be more harm than good done, by saying all women must produce two children. It might better, to look at it from another angle." she found an empty chair and pulled in beside Tsuen.
"I understand those numbers, and how and why you want them, but I think also just hiding away here is a bad plan. It maybe useful to bring people from the north in honesty-- to get the population started. If 10 women have two children each, are you looking at it from the perspective of two children close together, or two children with a year or more between them? We must have plan. It can't be everyone woman gets pregnant near around the same time. That's a recipe for chaos." leaning back in the chair, Lymsleia look at the Weyrwoman. "I think discussing this further, and deciding from each woman's point of view maybe a better choice. You Weyrwoman, should have made the announcement, I think." she tries to keep from sounding angry. "I would have been more acceptable from the mouth of the woman. A man-- some men, perhaps not D'ren... but some man- I have met a few, believe woman shouldn't be crafting and should only bear children and cook and clean." she rolls her eyes. "It just -- sounded like their may ave been alterior motive. It also - I think- should have been an announcement made in the presence of women only. A Woman's moot." She drew a gentle breath and moved her seat back.
"I do trust your judgement, and that of D'rens. But I also need to look after just about every women in the Weyr's health at sometime in her life. I am only nineteen turns. I don't want to over work anyone. Men or Women, and I think the mandate would strain, relationships, people lives and loves. I know D'ren meant it as suggestion... its just one that I find a bit...rude." she struggled to speak the word. It felt dirty.
