Sohalia
Maybe there was a certain level of intuition in Soh's question - or maybe she just knew Zavien well enough by now to hazard a guess. Aside from the fact that she shared his bed (and the distinct lack of snoring from his side the night before might have afforded her a clue), he'd been a ball of excited anxiety since the moment she'd told him she was pregnant. She could understand, because so was she: she had very little in the way of parental figures to draw inspiration from, so she still felt a bit as though she were going into this pregnancy blind. But maybe there was something to a mother's intuition, because she also felt in her bones that everything would turn out alright - and she wasn't sure that Zavien had quite settled into that same certainty.
Half-turning to face him on the couch, she shook her head. "If you listen to old wives' tales, it could really go either way." Morning sickness pointed to a girl, but her glowing complexion pointed to a boy; there were other myths around ways to tell the gender, but Soh wasn't quite sure she believed any of them. "I have a feeling it's a girl," she admitted all the same. "But I couldn't tell you why I think that. It's just... a gut feeling." Not quite a hope - she really didn't have a strong preference either way - but a hunch that she'd had a hard time shaking. Given that she could just as easily be wrong as not, she'd largely ignored the feeling, but this seemed as good a time as any to share it.
"But as long as we're healthy, I don't care if I'm wrong." Wrinkling her nose at him affectionately, she added in a teasing tone, "A tiny Zavien running around would be absolutely adorable."
