Cautiously pleased

Well, so far, pretty good. People are getting a bit hung up over the pregnancy/sickness timing, darn it, but there's a respectable number who are hooked. Even a male man of the gentleman persuasion! :) I'm bemused by those who think "demon-spawned" refers to the baby - oops. It's kind of just a curse people use in my world, and in this case Taira's meaning is "demon-spawned bad Fortune." I think that becomes pretty clear in later pages, but if it's really confusing people - "spawn" is after all associated with babies...evil babies...I should fix that. Well, the real test is when the Secret Agent comments. Gulp.
