He'd keep a watchful eye from a distance, hoping his nervousness wasn't palpable. How could he not be nervous for Eris? Birthing could be a difficult process, one he knew could result not only in the death of the litter, but of the mother too. Surely Oxide was feeling something similar? Casting a glance toward Ballad and Eris, his attention settled on Oxide as he drew nearer to him. A friendly enough smile was offered to the much-larger male, and for a moment he marveled at how far he had come. How proud his family would be! The giants had been a thing of legend, and now here he was.. chatting with one, no less. He sucked in a sharp breath of air, as if he might inflate himself to look much larger, and he found himself carefully considering Oxide's words. Sure, Eris and her family's culture was quite different from his own, but he'd seen quite a few similarities too. He spent a long moment musing over it before answering him. "I don't blame you," Sota offered, somewhat tentatively. "In my culture, women do make most of the decisions when it comes to.. family and children, but... I can't recall men ever being kept away from a birthing," he admitted, his words casual rather than combative. He wouldn't question the Ademre culture, and he had a feeling Oxide wouldn't make a fuss over it either - except maybe in private - and Sota couldn't help but feel a sudden rush of camaraderie that he was sharing these feelings with him. Hopefully Sota's words didn't discourage him any. "I'm sure they know what they're doing," Sota reassured him after a moment, casting him a somewhat sympathetic glance. He'd never experienced anything quite like this, and it was hard to imagine how Oxide might be feeling, but he wanted to give him some emotional support if he happened to need it - though it was hard to imagine a man built like him needing much of anything from anyone, let alone him. |
Sota has a male bamboo lemur companion named Kaito, he's sometimes nearby but usually only if stated!
