Paradeisia

Everyone was on the loading dock in front of the large gondola that would take the team down the portal. Lady Shrewsbury stepped toward Aubrey as she watched Bridges say goodbye to his family. The sincerity on his face as he kissed his wife and two small girls told Aubrey that he was more concerned about the safety of this campaign than he was letting on.

Lady Shrewsbury, now in front of Aubrey, said, “I would encourage you not to do this thing. In the boardroom, you performed marvelously to shame the boys into action. But your work is done; you needn't trouble yourself to follow through with your threat. As women we are sometimes tasked to motivate our men but rarely are we required to follow them into battle.”

Aubrey fired back, “So you think women are weak damsels and this is men's work?”

Lady Shrewsbury replied firmly, “There are different kinds of weakness. Do not be ashamed of being feminine, my dear, nor from adopting the role of a woman. No one is capable of playing two tunes on one flute, and if you try, you will find that some of the most important notes are left out.”

“I don’t think women have a role.”

“In other words, you think their role is that of a man’s.”

“Huh?” Aubrey said.

“You believe that men should bear infants and be their primary caregivers?”

“No. The man and the woman should share that job.”

“Should they indeed?” Lady Shrewsbury scoffed incredulously. “I’ve never seen a man with hips adequate to the task. Not to mention certain apparatus which they lack up top.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, Aubrey, that men do not have birthing hips, nor do they have breasts—both of which are requisite for the birth and care of an infant.”

“Are you serious?”

“Only if you are,” Lady Shrewsbury smirked.

Bridge’s loud voice interrupted their exchange, “Put away your hankies, boys! Goodbye time is over.” Then he looked at Aubrey with what she found to be an unnerving gaze, “Time to roll!”

Aubrey joined the line of men in fatigues as they boarded the gondola.
