Prompt: If a woman has been malnourished, how long does it take her to restore her period once well fed? Approximately.

Copilot: It can take approximately 6 months for a woman’s menstrual cycle to return after she has been well-nourished and reaches a healthy weight. However, this can vary depending on individual factors such as overall health, stress levels, and how quickly her body recovers from malnutrition.

Prompt: Once her period returns will she be healthy to have children or might that take longer?

Copilot: Once her period returns, it’s a positive sign that her body is recovering, but it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s immediately ready to have children. Full recovery from malnutrition can take longer, and her overall health needs to be thoroughly assessed. Factors like nutrient balance, bone density, and emotional well-being play crucial roles in determining her readiness for pregnancy.

Would you like to explore how her recovery journey impacts her role in the story?

Prompt: Yes. Boudica is loving and eager for physical intimacy, but The Butcher is making her wait until her health has recovered out of concern for a healthy child. She is going to go out of her mind if she has to wait 6 months plus more.

Copilot: That’s a compelling dynamic. The tension between Boudica’s eagerness and The Butcher’s cautious concern adds depth to their relationship. Her frustration and his protective instincts create a powerful emotional undercurrent. This waiting period could also serve as a time for them to strengthen their bond in other ways, building trust and understanding.

How do you plan to explore this tension and its impact on their relationship?

Prompt: Yes. That is one of the key struggles Boudica is experiencing. Olga is giving her instructions in building emotional intimacy with her master but that is only making it harder for Boudica as her need is driving her to distraction. Meanwhile, as feeding makes her healthier, her curves are returning and her feminine power over the Butcher’s thoughts are increasing.

Copilot: That’s a rich and complex dynamic. Boudica’s struggle between her growing physical health and her emotional turmoil adds depth to her character. Olga’s guidance on building emotional intimacy, while well-intentioned, only heightens Boudica’s frustration and desire. The Butcher’s increasing distraction by her returning curves adds another layer of tension and attraction. This interplay of physical and emotional elements will make for a compelling and intense narrative.

What other challenges or developments are you planning for Boudica and The Butcher?

Prompt: Boudica is having trouble focusing on The Butcher’s needs as she is distracted by her own desires for him.

Copilot: That’s a powerful conflict. Boudica’s struggle to balance her own desires with her dedication to The Butcher adds a rich layer of tension to their relationship. Her internal battle can create moments of vulnerability and strength, making her character even more compelling. This dynamic will undoubtedly lead to intense and emotionally charged scenes.

What other challenges are you planning for Boudica and The Butcher?

Prompt: Just drafted a scene when she was alone in his tent. She was supposed to be tidying up, but she lay on his bed. When he is there she is not allowed on his bed without permission and usually only after begging. Overwhelmed by his scent on his pillow, she roleplayed the intimacy she needs from him using his pillow as his surrogate.

Copilot: That scene is intense and deeply evocative. Boudica’s actions reveal her desperation and longing, adding a raw, emotional layer to her character. The contrast between her strict obedience when he’s present and her vulnerability when alone creates a powerful dynamic. This moment of intimacy with his pillow underscores her internal struggle and the depth of her feelings for him.

What other scenes are you working on to develop their relationship further?

Prompt: Part of Boudica’s drive is that securing her position in the world requires her to conceive and produce his child. He has four other slaves who have given him children, but the other slaves are away at his parents’ farm to protect the children from the war.

Copilot: That adds a compelling layer to Boudica’s motivations. Her urgency to conceive and secure her position, contrasted with the Butcher’s cautious approach, creates a rich tension. The presence of other slaves who have already given him children adds to her sense of competition and urgency. This dynamic will undoubtedly lead to intense and emotionally charged scenes as Boudica navigates her desires and the realities of their situation.

What other challenges?

Prompt: The Butcher does not expect to survive the war. He views his slaves and children as a giving his parents replacements for his wife and son who died in a terrorist car bomb at the start of the war. Boudica is struggling to get him to see that there is a life for him with her after the war.

Copilot: That adds such a poignant layer to the story. The Butcher’s fatalistic outlook and his trauma from losing his family create a powerful backdrop for his actions and decisions. Boudica’s struggle to convince him of a future together, despite the overwhelming odds, adds emotional depth and complexity. It’s a profound conflict between hope and despair, love and duty.
