The first question gave Astien pause. When was he due? He hadn't the faintest idea, nor did he know how to explain that he was carrying some sort of god-like entity. Even if he did explain his situation, who knew how his new companions would react? No, he had to keep this secret as long as he could. Hopefully he would have some sort of explanation by the time they realized something was odd with him and his pregnancy. He knew he had to think of something to say, and quickly, or his pause would be suspicious. "Oh, well, I'm not sure when I'm due. I didn't crunch the numbers, heh. I had other dates and whatnot to worry about. My work is never ending, ha ha..." Astien awkwardly shuffled and caressed his furious bump. "As for why I'm here, I'm trying to catalog the rarer plants that grow around here. It's been a tad difficult, what with my little passenger here keeping me from bending down and getting a better look at them." Astien smiled. "But, now that I have an assistant, this shouldn't pose a problem anymore. I should be able to finish soon, and then I can move on from this town."
I'm just here for a laugh
