Midway through another visit from Chlomaki, Wadanohara says, “Oh, Lobco. I was wondering something.”
Lobco perks her head up. “What is it?”
“Have your parents told you where you came from?” Wadanohara asks, head tilted.
Lobco chokes. “Um- Um- Well, they- Lady Chlomaki!” she snaps, at Chlomaki’s sudden burst of laughter.
Chlomaki doesn’t stop laughing, managing to get out through her giggles, “You’re on your own for this one!”
“But I can’t-” Lobco looks between her cackling master and Wadanohara, who is still waiting for an answer. “Well, um… Wh-what have you been told about where you came from?”
“I came from an egg,” says Wadanohara without hesitation. “A beautiful, round egg, everybody says.”
“That’s where I came from too,” says Lobco, starting to sound relieved.
“I know that people come from eggs,” says Wadanohara. “But I want to know how your egg got here.”
Lobco’s face heats up. “Um… um… Lady Chlomaki, I have some very important things to do right now, so…”
Chlomaki chuckles. “Alright, alright, we can go. Nice to see you again, Wadanohara!”
“Nice to see you too?” Wadanohara watches the pair of them fly off, still confused. “...But what about my question?”
“Samekichi, can I ask you-” Wadanohara starts when she spots him.
He holds up a hand to stop her, unusually red in the face. “Lobco passed this way.”
“So, do you know how Lobco-”
“I’m not talking about this with you.” Samekichi turns away from her. “G-go ask somebody else, as long as it’s not me.”
“...Well, okay.” Wadanohara isn’t sure Samekichi would have the answer, either.
“Tatsumiya, can I ask you a question?” asks Wadanohara. “It won’t take too long.”
“Of course,” says Tatsumiya, smiling. “Ask anything you wish.”
“About Lobco… How did her egg get here?”
Tatsumiya goes pale. “Ah… well… I-I’m honored you would choose me to answer that question…”
“So you’ll answer?” asks Wadanohara. “Lobco ran away when I asked her.”
“It’s a very difficult question to answer suddenly, for anyone,” says Tatsumiya. “And Lobco isn’t the best at conversation in normal circumstances. Besides, she has no experience in these things.”
“Experience…” Something clicks in Wadanohara’s brain. “Oh, of course! I should have asked Cherryblod and Doloz in the first place! Thanks, Tatsumiya!”
“Wait, Wadanohara-!” says Tatsumiya, but Wadanohara is already heading towards their residence. “...She’s gone. I hope I haven’t caused anything too awkward for them… But they’ve already given this talk to Lobco, so it may be fine in the end.”
“Come in, dear,” says Doloz. “It’s so good to see you.”
Wadanohara pulls herself a seat at the table with her and Cherryblod. “I have a question I want to ask.”
“Go ahead,” says Cherryblod, smiling.
“How did Lobco’s egg get here?”
Both Cherryblod and Doloz freeze before giving a nervous chuckle.
“Oh, so it’s that kind of question…” Doloz titters for a moment. “Honey, why don’t you handle this?”
“O...of course.” Cherryblod clears his throat. “Well, you see, Wadanohara… Women in many species, like lobsters, already carry eggs inside them naturally. They just need something to make those eggs have life in them, and that’s the part of the man to-”
“Cherryblod,” says Wadanohara, “I already know this part. But how did Lobco get here when Doloz is so much bigger than you?”
“Oh!” says Cherryblod, smiling a little more naturally. “Doloz used to be much closer to my size, dear.”
“Oh…” Wadanohara nods. “Okay, that makes sense. Does that mean Lobco can’t ever get a sibling now, though?”
“I’m too old to lay eggs anymore,” says Doloz gently. “It’s not because of our size difference.”
Cherryblod nods. “No, we definitely don’t- I mean, wouldn’t let size difference stop us.”
“I… feel like there’s something I’m missing here again.”
