well, trace is isnt gonna be happy when he finds out, his first reaction will be to ditch her for being unfaithful to him...and whats worse, everyones gonna be on his side.
I can see a way she might be able to handle it. She should start dropping comments about her sex life, to get across the idea that she hasn't touched a male keidran since she met Trace. Something like "Hey, it's been so long since I've had sex with a keidran that I don't quite remember what it's like. <grin type="playful">Maybe I should try it, to see if it's better than with you.</grin>
She could add that she might have to wait a while, since the Basitin Islands probably don't have any keidran of either sex, and Natani isn't available since "he" is obviously partnered with Keith. (Saying this within earshot of Natani and Keith would be good for several scenes, as they try to deny it.)
Maybe Trace could notice her swollen belly and comment that she looks pregnant, and she can say that it's not possible because she hasn't had sex with a keidran, just with him.
After enough of these hints, Trace would be softened up for the kill: "Hey, Trace; there's something I can't figure out. I haven't had sex with anyone but you for months and months, but I'm starting to think that I'm pregnant. It's gotta be yours, but I didn't think that was possible."
Nah; Tom would never let them handle it in such a way. There's gotta be a big "You've been unfaithful" scene, and a near breakup. It should be something from the left wing that convinces Trace. Maybe Ephemural or another Mask will make an appearance, explaining what has been done to them, and maybe trying some more chaotic interference. Or maybe this is one of the things that Lady Nora is here to help with, since she knows the truth directly from Flora's mind (and might know a lot about what the Masks have been up to).
And Natani will start having fantasies of Keith's child, with her traitorous tail wagging wildly ...
