Kerri just nods, watching her.

"Part of me worries about how this is going to affect my business. Music and videos... I'm not blind to the fact some viewers cue in to see an attractive lady with a great voice. A singing blimp might be less popular. So..headshots with the camera soon" A chuckle

"Well, yes, but you'd hardly be the first singing star to have children. You might want to get a batch of recordings done soon, and sort of dole them out over time. If your experience is anything like mine, that little jerk is going to start kicking in ways that interfere with your lung capacity."

She touches her midsection "Everyone's a critic, huh?" Having a conversation, then she looks at Kerri, "Good advice. I'll be really busy for a bit then, less help around here. Sorry about that"

"Oh, please," she waves off the concern. "There are priorities, and then there are PRIORITIES."

"Oh...ah...you might want to try to incorporate Dagmar into baby prep. Not too much, but helping with making decisions about the baby's space...paint colors and so on.

"You think it would help? Of course you do or you wouldn't suggest it" She nods "Yes. She might like that. You know, I know she feels a bit invaded, but Dagmar could be such an amazing big sister "

"She really could. But it's a role she didn't seek out. She's being drafted, and it'll take her a little while to adjust."

"Yes. I suppose." then a smirk, "But Jaymes is bonkers right? " Fondly "The whole 'going to will a son'? "

"Well...I'm going to leave those men's mysteries in Olgar's territory. It's beyond me." She winks.

She laughs "Okay now I HAVE to ask Olgar to talk to Jaymes just for comedy value" A pause "mm actually, Would Olgar mind advising me on.. well, the Unseelie mindset? If Dagmar stays unseelie I want to.. she's still my daughter and I love her and want to do right by her no mater what court Dagmar stays with":

"That's a good idea. I'm pretty sure he'd be happy to help that way. Want me to tell him, or would you rather seek him out?"

"I'll seek him out. I don't want him to feel like he's on YOUR bad side if he says no. " A smile "In fact I'll look for him now. Thanks again."

And looking in a much better place emotionally, Tove departs

"My pleasure, hon." She offers Tove a quick hug before she leaves, then sets about her chores.

And thus it goes with the utterly indispensable Kerri !
