"So either Yavanna was slow and Valarian pregnancies are not going to take as long as hers..." Estë muttered as she checked over her law-sister. "Or yours is going to be massive once it's done."
"Well, that is not strictly something I want to hear." Vairë frowned. "Both a Vala and large? There's not that many of those that didn't come when Manwë called for aid."
"Or it could be a new one." Varda - who had announced her own pregnancy just a few days back - considered the two Valier with her. She had been asked to come, just to confirm Námo and Vairë's suspicion that their child would end up a Vala once at full power. She hadn't even needed to do a deep-dive of any kind to agree with them.
"As long as it's not Melkor for his redemption. I'd prefer some warning if he's going to be around again."
"Oh no, I do hope Eru would warn us if he happened." The Lady of the Stars briefly shivered at the thought. "Could he though, considering he died...?"
That was a metaphysical point of discussion they all had covered several times, but it was perhaps not the best for a small friendly gathering.
"Anyway, better subject..." Estë did her title of 'the Gentle' justice, forcefully changing the subject. "Did you hear what happened in Ercasseyonde last week?"
"That Cilinaril blocked the forge-access by sealing the doors and windows with crystals? Yes, I heard." The Weaver laughed softly. "How long did it take them to clear it out again?"
"Too long, from what I understood when Manwë told me about Aulë's grumblings." The star-clad Valie rolled her eyes. "Didn't help that Cilinaril was still growing them for a while there, until Mairon warned Aulë, who warned Yavanna, who woke them up. I don't think I ever heard our Smith be described this done with matters. Something about how their range is increasing already, despite it being bare months since they'd been born."
"I am half-surprised that no one has yet made a petition about the sharp increase of gems." Granted, there was such abundance everywhere of everything that trade mostly involved just gifting things to people, rather than the more traditional meaning of the matter.
"The excesses are as of yet mostly exclusive to Ercasseyonde and Aulë's Halls here, that helps." The Hostess rose from her seat, fetching the tea. She returned to a frown of her law-brother's spouse. "What?"
"Do you think twins could happen with us?" Estë narrowed her eyes, considering the bulge. "That might explain why you are so much larger than Yavanna around the same time."
"Oh Eru..." Vairë's eyes widened. "That could be... but shouldn't we sense two then?"
"Mmmhh... I think I'm going to go around and ask some questions about that." The Healer crossed her arms. "How many twins were left, again?"
"I think... one or two sets? They aren't exactly a common occurrence."
"Except in the Pereldar, for some reason." Varda pointed out with a faint chuckle. "Every generation from Dior had one set."
