Right, that probably does call for an 'oh, dear.' But what ends up happening is Greta tsking in a motherly fashion and scooting her chair around until she's close enough to rest a hand on Nina's arm. She suspects she's the first person Nina's told of this, and the last thing she wants is for the poor girl to regret speaking of it to anyone at all.
"It did," she echoes. And it would be easy to insist that that means something, and that she shouldn't be so quick to dismiss that. But this is Darrow, not the Village, and it's about Nina, not her.
She hesitates for a moment, not wanting to overstep her bounds. But all she's really doing is repeating what Nina's already as much as said, herself. "Would you want to keep it, then, if Geralt is, er... amenable?"
He might normally be sterile, but Greta doesn't know the man -- not beyond what she's gathered from talking with Nina. Maybe he'd welcome this, if he knew. A Curse unexpectedly lifted.
