“Yes,” you reply.
Glowie looks away, and tightens her grip slightly.
“Will be cocooned for some time… Then changed. Helpless during the transformation. Amulet may not work for me anymore when emerge. And when the eggs hatch…”
Now, with dragonblood in them, their hybrid nature will eb immediately evidence. And if they should be born with your bronzey colouration, your accursed ginger HAIR? The truth will come out.
The two of you sit and discuss the matter of this at some length. It seems to you that you and your… Mate… Have a few options, having committed to this brood.
>1. Leave Glowie here, to be guarded and waited-on by the kobolds of Bloodrise, where she will be safest and not have to travel… But where your secret will surely be revealed, unless you can lie your way out of it>2. Bring Glowie with you, and negotiate her residence with the Drow during her metamorphosis and brooding—they have no care for blood purity, and seem fond of arthropods>3. Send her to the former territory of the Devourer [perhaps with a trusted honour-guard? Please specify] to undergo her transformation and to lay her brood in secrecy>4. Ask the Novice to help suppress the hormones related to this process, delaying the metamorphosis and laying of eggs so that Glowie can stay with you until the matter of the tripartite alliance and dwarf-raid is concluded; she IS a very useful combatant>5. ???
