Fulfilling promises

Deathbelle listened to Recluse thoughtfully as she shifted slightly there in the meeting. She was getting close enough to the end of her pregnancy that sitting still wasn’t really possible anymore. There was always a cramp or limb falling asleep from the extra weight that she had to support. Thankfully Recluse didn’t bring an incredible attention to her presence, but the once Empress did perk as she spoke about the new children. Her own and the tiny ones growing in Deathbelle.

White marked features tipped forward in a nod as she accepted Recluse’s assignment. Both daughters for now, at least until the pool of trustworthy adults grew. ”I would be honored.” She returned softly as the meeting began to die down.
