*we'll pretend this ISN'T horrifically late* *stops by, and knocks on her door* Nessa? *peers in*

[splendid_shoes]

*the door swings open, and Nessa stands looking at her; a grin creeps across her face*

My dear sister.

[_greenified_]

*smiles, happier to see her than she'd probably ever admit*

My Nessa. *reaches out to fix a strad of her hair* It's good to see you again.

*and, by the way, is so pregnant it's more of a "why aren't you giving birth NOW" thing*

And you, Elphaba. *she leans forward to peck her on the cheek, then steps back and looks down at her sister's stomach* I see my newest niece is doing well. *smiles happily*

[_greenified_]

Very well, and very active. *will approach the "godmother" subject soon* How were your travels?

[splendid_shoes]

That's healthy. *beams* Oh, it's been astounding, Elphaba. You wouldn't believe the success we've had. All it took was a faithful, well trained army like Jinjur's to install order in nearly all the regions of Oz. It's remarkable, to think what I could have done before, if only.... *she sighs, but really looks overall far too happy as a conqueress*

*pats her shoulder* Nessa, it's not good to dwell on "if only"s. Think of what you have done. *hypocritical? You bet* *as though she realizes this* I wanted to ask you something.

[splendid_shoes]

*she nods a bit, sighing, then smiles at her* Yes, sister?

Typist: Sorry for the horrific delay. Gah.

You have a neice that will be born soon, obviously. *lets a hand rest on her huge swell* Mark and I have decided to name her Elizabeth Rose... so she will be your namesake. Would you also like to be her godmother?

*kind of sort of hoping she won't ask about the godfather, because it'll be grand fun when she realizes she'll be sharing godparental duties with a ridiculously handsome gay male nurse*
