OOC: Tea gave me permission to skip/mention Vana
Valentine had to accept very quickly that while it wasn't time, it was time. If everyone there was sure of it then he wasn't going to waste time questioning it. It did bring to mind the question of whether or not they puppies were truly ready for the world, but the Rex pushed those thoughts - and several similar ones - from his mind. As far as he knew there wasn't any way to stop labor, so if it was happening there was nothing they could do about it. "...my life kind of sucks right now." For some reason he zeroed in on those words. Everyone else was forgotten. Vaguely he was aware of the arrival of Shaye, Vana's protest of it, and Esti and Integra slipping away, but in that moment he only had eyes for Rhythm. Reaching down Valentine touched Rhythm's face gently. He was on the verge of saying something, of trying his hand at being comforting, when she cringed away from what he assumed was another contraction. Alright, it was time to bed down. All business now Valentine, without taking his gaze off of Rhythm, commanded in a voice tinged with obvious excitement, "Everyone stays outside. We appreciate the care and concern, and if help is needed I'll come for it, but, " he grinned down at Rhythm, "she's got this." Valentine motioned for her to take the lead since both of them couldn't fit through the entrance at once, intending to follow her down into the hollow and settle in beside her once she was comfortable. |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
