[Birthing] Progeny Of The Stars
Kavdaya Of The Nomads |
She was snipping at the herbs she needed in the Moor when the call from above brought her head up. It was Battlesong, and she sounded urgent. It didn't take the bird calling that Surreal was in labor to tell Kavdaya that the litter was coming. The bird wouldn't have sought her out for any other reason, with how close her cousin's due date was. A smile crossed her features, and she grabbed up the mallow she'd been gathering before taking off at a run.
She nearly collided with Regulus at the mouth of the passage, and as he checked his speed, she jetted ahead, his breath heavy on her rump, too focused on the task ahead to give him a nod as she ought to for her leader. She knew he didn't give a damn about formalities at the moment, if ever. She took the steps in one bound, hurrying over to the stock piles she'd been painstakingly building up since the family had settled in after Hellstrom's defeat, deftly making her selections. Motherwort, Lavender, Cohosh, Trillium... Just a few of the several she picked out. Valerian, in a very tiny amount, for pain.
She took up her choices, bundling them in a bit of deer head and padded into Surreal's alcove, setting them aside and picking the few she would need first out. The painkiller, and Motherwort, along with the sprigs of dried Lavender for further calming of the nerves. "Let's see how you're doing..." Her nose probed, taking in the scents while her paw settled on Surreal's side, also probing and feeling out the unborn, wriggling litter.
