Oh bless, pups. Okay, she knew Storm was a healer - that much was clear of the blind woman. Which meant that most likely, she knew exactly what she was doing when it came to pups. But... children. She had never talked to the other woman, though she had seen her around... though that was mostly her fault, staying quiet and not truly integrating herself as part of the pack. The call seemed to change things. The message in it struck her heart, and the woman let out the breath she had been holding. Pups. The delightful, delicate, terrifying creatures who were both simultaneously amazing and horrifying. It was something that... that she never experienced, but more than ever had a longing to. It was a slow change, and one that brought a smile to her face even as it brought a pang to her chest. She doubted she'd have the opportunity, after nearly six years of life. And... she knew. Okay, she had already known - but... she wanted to be there, at the birth. She may not know what to do... but perhaps she could learn? Alright, at that point, she knew... she knew she was just making excuses for herself as to why she wanted to be there when they were born. Part of it was indeed she had no idea how to deal with a birthing or pregnancy, but the other was just... a longing. She knew she'd likely not have children of her own; why not be there for other pups? There was nothing saying that she couldn't, and perhaps it'd give her that thing which she felt she was missing. A trembling smile on her lips, she started haring over to where the call came from. Storm, Storm, Storm. She recognized the smell of the female only after a while - she knew where Storm had set up den, and it didn't take long to find where the new mother would lay. What she wasn't expecting was to see Bass outside the den. She nearly skidded to a halt, her eyes wide in alarm as her heart thudded in her chest. What - what was Bass doing here? It was legitimate confusion. He most certainly wasn't the father of the pups, and had no idea what he was doing with herbs... it only took a moment for it to hit her from his posture. It was like he was standing guard, when Storm had no mate to do it for her So Bass was doing it, as the alpha of the pack. It made a smile light up her face at the thought, but her attention quickly slid from the alpha to the darkness of the den. A painful expression twisted her face - one of longing, one of joy, and one of apprehension. After all, it was possible for the pups or Storm to not survive. Pausing, she took a deep breath, her eyes closing. She'd already forgotten that Bass was there; she was wholly focused on the new life that was about to exist, and she crept towards the den solemnly, her expression still that mix of easily read emotions. She spared Bass only a glance before she poked her head in. "I'm Vali. I'm one of the other healers, though I... admittedly know nothing about this sort of thing. Is there... is there anything I can do to help?" The older wolf was hoping and praying that it was a possibility. |
