Eris wasn't letting anyone rest with the cub he was expecting. From time to time, he'd ask the other beast husbands.
"So do you think it's going to be a girl or a boy?" He asked Luka.
"I don't know. Maybe both?"
Eris nodded. "Hmm, so true. So true."
"Do you think it'll be two girls or two boys?" He asked Azure.
"I don't know. Maybe girls?"
Eris nodded. "Hmm, could be."
"What do you think I should name them if it's two girls?" He asked Karl.
But Karl cast him a cold glare. "Ask me that again, and I'll make sure I pluck out your tail for meat."
"...."
Eris blinked. "So true. So hostile. This is why you'll never have cubs." He shook his head as he said, "I shouldn't let her do too much work, though—that would make the cubs hard to come out."
He bit his lower lip as he turned to ask Azure. "Hey, you have brains, so answer me this. If I let her work too much, does that mean she'll give birth to a male? And if she doesn't work much, she'll give birth to a girl?"
"....."
