Survive and thrive

Rain paid a visit to Branden, and he felt bad since he brought some bad news… because he found Esmeralda as well, and she was clearly pregnant. 

"Thanks for informing me in advance… I guess my congratulations aren't that important to you two," Rain frowned.

"Sorry about that… but you were so busy," Branden said. "Like starving yourself and finding a lost and isolated civilization."

"How are you feeling?" Rain asked.

"I am fine, just feeling a bit dizzy now and then," Esmeralda said, and then she smiled. "These are some good news, I was thinking of naming the kid after you. What do you think?"

"You sure know how to pick some heroic names. What if it is a girl?" Rain asked.

"Rainendall still sounds a bit feminine, don't you think?" Esmeralda asked.

"I am not sure," Rain shrugged. "Sorry, but I have come with some bad news… I always only show up with bad news, right?"
