All right, easy does it. Rhythm was safely in the den. Vana was off to get Valentine and herbs or whatever. Esti turned to Rhythm, "Good, uh, deep breaths." That's what they always said, right? Deep breathing? She waited with baited breath for someone else to arrive. Integra asked if she remembered what she took and Esti just shrugged, "Nope." she answered without taking her eyes off of the expecting mother.
Rhythm told them that she could handle the birthing and would probably just have to work hard to make them breathe. Esti didn't know anything about babies, early, late, or on time. Finally Valentine showed up and made his way directly for Rhythm. Yeah, they totally had this. Esti nudged Rhythm one last time reassuringly before she pulled back to let Valentine have the room. She had no business being here now that Rhythm was relocated and Valentine was here. Turning away slightly, Esti pointed her attention towards Rhythm, "When they come, if you need help, call me. I'm going on patrol, so you guys rest easy." Esti carefully chose her words and inflections as she spoke, throwing the last part in with a glance and Valentine. She didn't want him to feel too antsy, and knowing that she was on patrol might give the new parents some sort of ease at mind. She began to trot off, but called back, "Congratulations!" then began to run. It was only when she passed another girl smelling of Abaven, did she stop, turning back from the trees to see if she would be needed.
