Neonatal Care

A sharp glare was playfully shot back at her incorrigible boyfriend as Syanna proceeded with her work. No matter how serious she tried to make him be about their duties to the pack, he seemed fully incapable of ever being able to resist distracting her. It was really kind of flattering, even after all this time, knowing that she was enough to break Ezra of his focus, even if it did come at the price of sacrificing her own productivity from time to time. She hoped he never lost that boyish charm to him; it really was endearing in an obnoxious sort of way. Ezra exclaimed that he had, in fact, done some work to help the Hallows. He left the kitchen for a moment, then returned with a bundle of hares and a peahen.

The thud of the carcasses on the counters beside her snatched Syanna's attention away, and she looked over his earnings for the day before looking back to him wearing that proud grin. "Well congratulations, you're able to do the minimum of your role," she teased him, smacking at his shoulder with her fluffy tail as she turned to step past him to bring her mortar full of crushed berries over to the stove and began emptying the contents out into a cup. "Well, when two of our main hunters—one of them being our Lead Hunter too—go off on their honeymoon and leave you in charge, maybe getting some more paws on the ground isn't such a bad idea. Not that you aren't a capable hunter, but like you said..." She gestured to the rabbits and single fowl he'd caught. "We're gonna need more than that, especially Briar. Pregnant faes need all the nutrition they can get."

The kettle began to whistle then, and Syanna carefully picked it up by its handle in her teeth to move it from the heat before it boiled over. With the water hot and ready, she just needed to get the herbs to mix with the berries and the tea would be done. "I'm going to go get some herbs from the pharmacy while you put away your award-winning kills, Champion Hunter." Syanna shot Ezra a smirk from over her shoulder while she stepped back out of the kitchen and made her way across the length of the great hall and down the corridors to the familiar space of the pharmacy. She pushed open the door and made her way down the rows of shelves cluttered with fresh and dried herbs of all kinds to pick out some alfalfa, motherwort, and lavender for the Queen's tea.
