Finally!

While she could mostly ignore the bouts of pain they would begin to concern her as their appearances became more regular. She wasn't quite to the point of cringing in the duration, had she been paying more attention though the rosin of intensity would have been more obvious. As she again relaxed onto the large boulder another distraction would make itself known. The last voice shed been prepared to hear was the young Imperialis girl. While rhythm was positive the yearling still hated her there was the problem of her father assigning rhythm to be her mentor.

The tall girl went to the entrance first, rhythm's ears would perk from her flat form as she stirred at the top of her boulder. She'd slide her features back and over the edge to look at her apprentice. They hadn't really gotten to any serious lessons yet, if she wanted a lesson now her timing couldn't have been worse. "Hello, ms. Imperialis." she hadn't gotten out of the habit of addressing Valen's children as such. She'd gotten to know Phim enough durin their patrol that she felt more comfortable calling him by a nick name. However with Vana hating her and Angel usually being busy with his dad they would retain the respectful titles. "I'm not sure if we can have a lesson today. I'm having false contractions and.." she had to really stop talking as the next one took her, painful enough that she has to grit her teeth and squeeze her eyes shut. She refrained from being vocal but the pain was obvious. "It's a little distracting." shed finish, obviously barely able to keep her breath. This was gettin intense for being so early in her pregnancy.
