@AngelicGlitch @TheyNeverRest @Hickabick @MachineHunter_ -- I gotta say, I never have agreed with the idea that being with child somehow makes a woman weaker.

@WillYou_JoinUs @AngelicGlitch @MachineHunter_ -- Something tells me she wouldn't take too well to being behind a door she couldn't open. {arching a brow} Talking. That'll work better. --
