"Hm." Bast was considering this. These modern day beliefs still had her confounded. Women did not need a man to have children beyond the initial interaction. Plenty of her priestesses had children without husbands. Why was there such a stigma on single women raising children? Because it's expensive. And difficult, unless you're well off. Bast wrinkled her nose for a moment, that inward 'I'm talking to my vessel look' showing on her face again. But you are well off, Miriam, dear. The silence she got back made Bast smile slightly.
"That is true, but...these forms are vessels, they are not your own. Unless you were to find some way to get rid of the soul inside of it, there is no way to get around that. Not that I'm suggesting that at all." Especially since Miri was upset by the idea. "Miriam wants to know if he truly does not wish to continue, that is all." And Bast didn't swat his hand away.
