Zach arrived at Mina's apartment, on the front step, per her request. Personally, he thought she was a bit uptight about whether or not he could just teleport right inside. It certainly saved time.

He hit the buzzer and spoke into the intercom. "It's me. What's going on? You sounded stressed on the phone."

"Just come on up. I'll explain."

She had eventually had to move. Three days without heat in the winter had forced her to admit her place was pretty bad.

And she was pretty much going out of her mind with this news. It was crazy. They hadn't even really done a whole lot!

It had been a magical ritual to take care of a thing.

This made no sense at all.

After she buzzes him in, Zach heads to her apartment, letting himself in and smiling at her. "What's up?"

She just shoots him a tired glance.

"Remember how I kept feeling ill at that last place we had to go do a show?" It hadn't been fun. She had to suck down lots of ginger ale to keep her stomach calm. The smell of sweaty people back stag had really bothered her.

The squid nearly did her in.

"Yeah.. you doing any better?" He looks at her sympathetically. "Can't have one of my best stagehands out of commission."

"Not likely to get better.... for a few weeks." She folds her arms looking unhappy.

"I don't know how this happened because I don't sleep around at all but.... I'm uh.... Bun. In oven."

"No! Are you insane? Why would I joke," she squawks. It bothers her a little that he thinks she is joking.

"I... I'm sorry. That was terrible of me to say.

But... I mean..." He flushes slightly. "We use protection, and... it hasn't been all that much that we've done."

"I know," she agrees. "We were careful to. Even with that.... thing."

She looks really glum. "I can't do my labs easily like this. It's dangerous even if I'm careful."

"Well... you have time. We're in a state that still respects a woman's control over her own body.. I'll support whatever decision you make." He puts a hand on her shoulder cautiously.

"Let me worry about Vicky. You just focus on yourself." He goes quiet for a minute.

"If you want to keep it... I promise not to be a deadbeat. But I don't want you to think I'm pressuring you one way or the other. Keep it, adopt it, get rid of it, whatever you want."

"I'm not even sure what the right option is. I don't want to make a choice that's selfish because I'm young.... I also know that adoption might be a bad idea given we both come from magical backgrounds more or less."

She sighs again not knowing what to do. "And now of all times I want pizza."

"Good. I'm going to put tea on while we wait. I like tea. You can trust it to not horribly betray you," she points out as she gets up to go put her kettle on.

He smiles and gets out his phone, calling up their local place of choice and ordering Mina's usual. He sits down on the couch while she fixes the tea.

"So.. Do you know if this changes anything with... y'know, us?

Is there an 'us'?"

Way to startle a girl, Zachery. She had to catch the tin she had pulled out since she knocked it off the counter then put it back up as she waited for the kettle.

"I... don't know." Because it had been well, fun.

She bites her lower lip. "I think there could be. It's just our thing is um.... Not exactly what most people would call normal."

And her teacher when it comes to magic.

Right. This is complicated. "Also this is what people would call complicated."

"This is what is also called career suicide..." He mutters under his breath.

"Do you think you need to see a doctor?"

"Yes. Mostly. There were concerns about the kind of food I like eating.... apparently a ramen diet because I get lazy is bad," she half way bemoans.

"Yeah, too much sodium... they'd probably want you to drop sushi as well." He grimaces.

And I'm sorry if that was a bad thing to say. You probably could use someone sensitive right now..." He pauses.

"Maybe we should call Victoria..."

"Actually I haven't been eating it anyways. There was an incident with eel about a month ago I will not speak of."

She just gives him a look. "You're trying to get out of this by having her kill you."

Arg, she is frustrated right now.

"Exactly. I'm like that." He nods, totally getting the grasping for words. He pats the spot on the couch next to him.

She gives up on hovering near the kettle and goes to join him on the couch. She turned slightly so she could watch him leaning against the back of the couch with her head just barely propped up.

She doesn't think he's very good at being here for her. He's freaking out more than she is. "This is going to be hard. I might need to move again."

She has no room for a kid here. And shoes! She thinks she has too many. For once.
