Rhythm came out and Esti was a little disappointed that the tiny girl wasn't more stunned by her appearance and chari- duty. Well, at least she wasn't screaming for help or Valentine. She thanked Esti for the meal and Esti nodded, "Hadn't had the chance to come by and see how fat you've gotten. Figured I'd bring food in case you were stuck in your den." she joked as if she and Rhythm had been friends. Esti licked some of the blood off her maw, offering a lopsided smirk that quickly faded. Here went nothing, "Now look, I know what happened with Ashmedai, and we all know what happened with Evangeline, but I don't think I can survive off of children's rumors forever. I don't know what happened, I assume what happened, but I don't know. What I do know is that you're carrying the alpha's pups now and that's pretty much the most important thing to the pack- or should be."
Esti's tone was direct, but not necessarily hostile, "So if you wanna tell me your side of the story, go for it. If not, that's fine, I'm gonna take care of your pups anyway, like you did for me and Ash, but I'm not a healer, and if I give you herbs, they're probably poison, so don't eat them." she smirked again, this time, to herself, trying to imagine being a healer. She'd probably end up killing someone, which defeated the purposed of being a healer, didn't it? "Anyway, if no one else has said it yet, I know where you're at because I've been there except a little different."
Esti paused for a second, thinking about her own circumstance again, "Anyway, don't risk the pup's lives hunting, I'm big enough to do that for both of us. Between Valentine and I, you should get fat pretty quickly. Besides, it's a pack member's duty, right, so don't think much of it, okay?" Her voice ended on a sharper note with her last sentence. She wasn't here to raise suspicion or become some holy saint, so she didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea. Esti was here because she wanted to be and because it was her duty to be here. The woman ended her little spiel, letting silence fall between them, wondering if Rhythm would answer her or call for the alpha. She didn't know what to expect from the little woman and she was realizing how little she actually knew about the alpha's sweetheart all together.
