[Birth thread] surprise!!!!

The young healer was wandering through the range, intrigued by the crops that grew in abundance in this territory. Of course, food doesn't always mean healing properties, and for the most part she left the corn and other growing things alone. She was more interested in replenishing her herbs, a never ending task. At least she had begun to stockpile pastes and ointments she had created from the herbs. These lasted longer than the herbs themselves.

She was sniffing intently through the undergrowth, when the scent of a pregnant wolf caught her attention. She tilted her head in curiosity, and explored the scent further. There didn’t seem to be any trace of another wolf, and the smell of pregnancy was strong. She followed her impulse and moved after the scent, as it let her towards a den. The sound of moving from inside told her what was taking place. This wolf was alone. Of course, appearing right now could also be a tricky business. A wolf giving birth was likely to be defensive against a stranger appearing in her den.

In the end, it was the silence of the woman that drove her on. No one could keep completely quiet in the pains of childbirth, and she was too worried that something was wrong. She moved into the den with caution. “I’m a healer, i’m here to help.” she said in soothing tones. Her eyes looked at the stranger with an expert eye, she was definitely in the throes of childbirth, of that there was no mistake. She moved herself into the other woman’s view, and would pause there, giving the woman time to adjust adn send her packing, or seeking out her aid.
