Malleus was quick to answer Kasdeya's call. Her call sounded a bit urgent so with her advanced pregnancy in mind he grabbed a large hide bundle stashed at his den's entrance for that very reason and took off running with Pascal in tow. Hopefully their presence wouldn't be required today. Malleus strove to take a rather passive role in births. His goal (unless something was wrong) was to see to Kasdeya's comfort without jeopardizing her safety or the safety of her pups, which was an easy thing to do with herbal remedies. Sure, motherwort was good for stimulating uterine contractions, but that ability was paired with an increased risk of bleeding. Crampbark too had its uses. An effective pain reducer commonly used in childbirth, the plant also had the nasty habit of suddenly bottoming out the mother's blood pressure. Navigating the waters between being helpful and being a life-threatening complication was a difficult thing. It was in everyone's best interest, ultimately, to let Kasdeya's body do its thing if it could. Without ceremony Malleus poked his head into the den and peered into the darkness. He set the bundle down as Pascal climbed off his back and then asked, "Kasdeya? It's time, isn't it? Can I get you anything?" He was willing to get her anything, play any part. |
