He had been speaking with Ignis about what to do for the winter herb stocks. And he was pleased to find that his nephews flying companion had begun travels to the warmer zones and bringing back whatever herbs he could find. A weight was lifted off the northern kings shoulders, grateful that his nephew and his companions were doing what they could to restock what had been lost. Which meant they'd be fine. He was sure of it. At least he was sure of it. His pups would be born soon, likely any day now and so he was relieved when Ignis gave him good news regarding the situation. As the conversation went on, Heloise's voice caught his attention, causing him to flick an ear towards her hushed call. At first, it didn't seem hurrying. And after a few more words, he heard a second call. But more urgent this time. He looked at Ignis, and Ignis looked back as confusion settled over him. And then that brief confusion turned into realization and he immediately turned on the spot and raced off towards her.
He was hardly aware of his nephew following behind him, and as he reached the doorway to where Heloise waited, his fox companions were peering around the corner at her. He didn't bother to greet them and instead, hurried inside to find Heloise in labor and..."Th-they're coming?" He half asked, approaching her to find a tiny, squirming bundle by her side. Crimson gaze widened as he looked at it, then to her, then back to the pup. The situation was so surreal to him, he almost couldn't believe that it was happening. But it was. They were coming, and he started to feel worry and panic. What if something went wrong? They needed a healer to be here and make sure everything went smoothly. He knew Ignis was waiting outside and on standby, but his nephew was giving them their privacy. Ace would call for him as soon as Heloise felt ready to. For now, he moved over to her and pressed his head against hers and gently kissed the top of her head before lying down against her back to offer comfort and support for her laboring body. "Ignis is waiting outside and ready to help if you need anything..." Of course, he thought it a good idea for him to be in here and help despite his limited knowledge. But he wanted to leave that decision up to her. |
