I first noticed around Prijata, so about two months ago now.

[He's just going to not mention the fact that he had gotten into a fight with her which had threatened to turn physical when Ivar had noticed how weak Letha was becoming.]

I thought it was just the usual strain of being pregnant, but she kept getting weaker. She'd seem to get better when I was around or touching her, but as soon as I was gone, she'd get worse again.

[He'd chalked it up to coincidence at the time, but now he's not wondering if there was something more going on. Somehow, his touch seemed to counteract whatever effects their daughter seemed to be causing.]
