During the span of the conversation, Iosha realized that she might have made a error with Aidara by calling her a typical human. Iosha was just trying to tell Aidara that the Inarta were similar physically to the rest of humanity, but the small healer seemed to not understand her meaning. Iosha smiled and nodded in agreement at Aidara's statement about impressing the people of Syliras. Yes, it was true the healer would definitely make a impression on the humans of the great city since she was a exotic Inarta from the west. Not the mention the woman was gorgeous, and she would definitely turned the heads of most men and some women in the city of Syliras. Iosha made a mental note to make it up to the fiery healer for her error in judgment since she seemed to take a personal offense to her words since the last statement seemed to be aimed at defending her appearance in Wind Reach and Syliras. Iosha decided to make amends at the end of her rant. Iosha watched the Inarta scribble away in her notes, and she was glad the healer was taking interest in her people. To Iosha, it came easy talking about the konti as a whole because she always took pride in her people.
Aidara seemed to have further questions about her people being a single sex. Iosha encountered the question many times during her travels, and she just nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, we are a island of women, and I didn't see a person of the opposite sex until I was nearly twenty years old when I saw a ship full of them in the harbor from the city of Zeltiva.” Iosha let out a girl giggle and continued with a smirk on her face, “Let just say. I spent a good portion of my summers watching the men unload their cargo.” Iosha kind of felt sad when Aidara told her that she had her doubts about her father being a Inarta, but she soon recovered and said softly, “My father was a Endal who died in the djed storm of the spring of 512AV. When I am finished with my training, I will be looking for his body in the Unforgiving.” The Konti paused for a moment realizing she wasn't anywhere close to achieving her goal, and she frowned slightly at her progression in her training. The konti knew she needed to work on her combat skills like swordsmanship, unarmed combat, and archery if she will survive the wilds of Kalea. The konti started to wonder if she will need to learn how to climb too if she needed to cross mountains. It will be a difficult journey, but it will be well worth it if she can bury her father.
Iosha was surprised that Aidara asked if she needed any special needs since she was a konti. Iosha looked at Aidara for a moment and said with a smile, “You are too kind Addy, but no, I will be fine. Yes, I prefer to live by a body of water, but I have a plan in place already. In the spring and summer, I will be visiting the ocean, but in the winter months, Kovac showed me a underground lake by the Fletcher's Corner, so I will swim in it during the off hours of the day.” Suddenly, Iosha remembered her pregnancy with her daughter, and she said suddenly, “I just remembered Aidara when a Konti is pregnant our time of gestation is one whole year. We don't show any signs of the pregnancy for at least four months, so you can imagine how it can be such a surprise for us!” Iosha felt butterflies in her stomach thinking about the year she carried her daughter, and she said with a smile, “Seafood and seaweed are our main choice of food during our pregnancy, and we are in a constant struggle to keep our bodies physically fit.” When Aidara asked if Konti needed any accommodation when it comes to their health. Iosha said with a smile, “Well, Konti tend to give birth in the ocean, but if their isn't a ocean around, we tend to give birth in a salt water bath.”
After the conversation, Aidara suggested they get a drink, and Iosha nodded in a agreement. The konti looked at Aidara and said gently, “Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I haven't had many friends growing up, so I have a bad habit of saying things without considering the feelings of others. It a vary un-konti like. Again, I am sorry if I offended you.” Iosha looked at Aidara and continue with a smile, “By the way, I know you will turn the heads of most people in Syliras. Aidara, You are beautiful, and I am sure Sira is a lucky woman to have a woman like you in her life.” Iosha took her hand and led her out of the Infirmary, “Come on, Aidara! Let make the other Inarta women jealous of us at the club!”
