That the one your "sister" was due to have?

Yes.

I don't trust the people of the village we're near. I don't want them having Amazon blood.

Why would the village get it?

We don't raise boys.

You just get rid of them all as babies?

We leave them where they'll be found and cared for, but we do not raise them.

Shame. Though makes me understand my wife's son a it more. She abandoned him too.

Why did you think Amazon tribes were only female?

Don't know. Guess I just thought you kept the boys until they were teens then sent them off. Can't say I thought about it that much.

Now, we find them different homes at the start. I don't know what to do about this boy, though.

If you need a temporary place for him sweetheart. I could probably manage a few days until you figure something out but I got two little ones myself. Smiles. Three might kill me.

Totally understand.

I might ask Dolius if he knows anyone.

Five is a handful but I'd help for little bit if you needed it.

There's got to be someone around. Maybe you should ask to see if there's a family recently lost a baby? Sure they'd be happy to take one in.

I want him to have a good home, and I'm just... I don't trust the men in this village.

That's why I offered to help out. Figure that'd give you time to find another village.

Thank you. I do appreciate it. I'm starting to think I should pack my women up and move again, but...

But?

But we have a few friends here.. That's something we usually do. It'd be hard to leave them.

It's always hard leaving friends. That's why we got letters and summer trips suppose for the friends that get too far away.

I wish we could stay, but that doesn't seem like it's going to be an option much longer.

Why is that?

The men here are getting antsy, taking more and more offense to our presence..

Lot of men got problems with strong women. Not surprised.

We're used to it, and I hate the idea of running, but there aren't too many of us here, so we'd be in deep trouble if they did something.

I know that feeling. Sometimes you got to run to protect the people with you. Tell you what though, they come at you and they'll be in deep shit themselves. I'm rather fond of Amazons.

Thank you, Snake. We argued a lot the last time, because I knew we had to leave. This time.. I'm the one who doesn't want to go.

Damn it. I'm going soft.

Ain't nothing soft about learning to make friends and allies or wanting to stay with them.
