Fauna's face paled, then flushed hot.
She swallowed hard, voice trembling as she tried to salvage something.
"But...Cecilia." She whispered. "What if the woman did react? What if...even with knowing it was her son...she responded exactly like those sisters in there?"
"Ejaculating, climaxing, losing herself completely. Over and over. Uncontrollably."
"What...what would that mean?"
Cecilia fell silent for a long moment, studying Fauna's face. Fauna waited, heart pounding, barely breathing.
Finally, Cecilia leaned in slightly, her voice low and careful.
"Then." She said, locking eyes with Fauna. "It would simply mean that the mother in question is seeing her son as a man."
Fauna gasped softly, a sharp, involuntary sound.
Cecilia continued, unflinching.
"She no longer sees him only as her son. She sees him as a potential partner. Someone she's attracted to. Someone she desires. Someone she wants to be with...intimately."
