Oh no. No. This sounds like one of Wilhelmina's plans, it absolutely reeks of her. First she blackmails me into getting pregnant for her dirty schemes and now you want to mess around with that? Oh no, I've been throguh all of that before whether you're planning to let me remember it or not.

We are happy. Edinburgh is good. I've got Stuart, the baby and my designing is going well. What makes you think that I'm going to let you mess all that up, eh? And you're certainly no Wilhelmina, that's for sure.

So come on then, give it your best.

Edinburgh is nice, aye, but if your mun wants to bring you to the castle, there's not a lot you can do about it, I'm afraid.

[arealwoman]

Well she can take me to Edinburgh castle then, I've had to deal with far worse than her.

[atadiscoverer]

I thought so, too.

Still, there's a half-decent bar in the castle, and most of the residents are nice.

[arealwoman]

I'd take you up on that but if she has her way I'm not going to be doing any drinking, although with the way things are sounding I might be needing it.

[atadiscoverer]

If she's planning your loss to be unable to drink alcohol... As a doctor, I approve, as a fellow Scotsman, I protest.

[arealwoman]

No but I think I'd rather take that too. She's planning on lumping me in there while I'm pregnant, as if going there wasn't bad enough already.

[atadiscoverer]

...I'm not sure how pregnancy works in the castle...

[arealwoman]

That's not all that much of a comforting thought.

[atadiscoverer]

Aye. Sorry.

I am thinking that if we don't age, your baby won't either.

1/2

[arealwoman]

I'm sorry what?

[arealwoman]

So not only will I be pregnant to devil spawn but I will be constantly pregnant?

This better be a bloody short trip.

[atadiscoverer]

That's a definate possibility, aye. [Carson does sound a bit sorry that he's telling her this]

It could also mean that anything that affects the baby, i.e smoking and drinking, won't impact the growth.

[arealwoman]

And you're trying to put this as good news? I'm pregnant, that's not changing.

[notafrankenstein]

The whims of the mind of mundanes are not easily swayed. It would do you good to understand that.

[arealwoman]

You're all saying that without knowing for who I've had to work for, and believe me they're not someone you even try to sway.

[notafrankenstein]

Dumbkopf! You cannot alter their mind even with the greatest of power. Whoever you've had to work for, once their will is set, there will be no changing it due to the desires of mere muses.

[arealwoman]

I'm not sure if you're seeing the whole picture here.

[notafrankenstein]

Clearly you are not seeing the picture yourself, McKinney! You are under the control of what might as well be God to you. They decide your fate, your love, your very clothing choices. It's like being in a life simulation from the moment they decide to snatch you from your pleasant little world.

Can you change that fate, you alone, where even Gods have tried and failed?

[arealwoman]

God, the devil, I'm not sure if that makes much different at this point, though at least her clothing choices are better than some of the crazy I've had to work with.

I'm not sure about Gods but I'm pretty stubborn.

[notafrankenstein]

Well, then. If you manage to contract with any demons, in your attempts, then call me. I will fuse them for you.

Make no mistake; I care not whether you succeed or not. It is merely curiosity that strikes. Haha! Yes! You might make a fine Devil Summoner! And then you could bring me demons. And gems.

[arealwoman]

Yeah, it's not a contract that I want fusing really.

A devil summoner? I'd rather keep her away.

[notafrankenstein]

If you can bring them to me at the Gouma Den, then I might be able to modify them for you. If you have the courage, that is...

Devil Summoning is a fine tradition! For centuries, all over the world, there have been Devil Summoners. Fine, intelligent men and women, who use their powers to summon demons from the Dark Realm in order to keep the balance of the world!

[arealwoman]

You're seriously trying to tell me that you can get me out of this?

Now that I'd like to see tried. No one defies Wilhelmina Slater, believe me it's been tried. I think people have actually died.

Balance in the world? It's a little bigger than what I was thinking of.

[notafrankenstein]

If you can bring them to the Gouma Den, I can alter them... Mind and body. I'd require a free reign, of course, but this I could do for absolutely no fee.

Whenever there is trouble caused by unnatural forces within the world, it is the duty of any nearby Devil Summoner to deal with this plight. For this purpose, they must constantly improve the forces at their hands.

[arealwoman]

And do you have directions for that?

There is no improving this one, except for her clothes and even then I barely do anything.
