morning sickness is a bitch

The sound of a cleared throat catches her attention. Stopping in her tracks, Tenshi turns to look over her shoulder. A warm expression shifts the look of nausea away from her as she smiles at Kiela. Ah, how long had it been since she had chatted with the woman? To answer Kiela's question, Tenshi nods before handing the basket over to one of her snow leopard companions. Ever since she had taken notice of her condition, they had been stuck to her side. "Care to join me?" Tenshi asks, but doesn't wait for an answer before she continues down the path toward the lush valley nearby. Figuring that Kiela would enjoy the walk through the valley and the avoidance of awkwardness by just standing there, Tenshi kept her pace slow so the other woman could keep up.

"How has Heidinn treated you?" Tenshi begins the conversation as her eyes wander the scenery. The snow fading to reveal green grass and soon to bloom wild flowers. "Vidarr mentioned you tend to reindeer. Did they fair winter well?" Her accented tones carry to Kiela as she takes a glance at the woman before turning to head down the slope toward a patch of mint. Their fragrant scent is nearly overwhelming to her sensitive nose. Clenching her teeth, she swallows the threat of bile as she continues closer to the herbs.
