morning sickness is a bitch

Tenshi moved in companionable comfort. Though she didn't know Kiela as well as she'd like, the moments she had had with the woman had been pleasant. If she were being honest, the uncouth style of Kiela was actually refreshing. Who had time for pleasantries and nonsense anyway?

Her eyes settle on the path ahead as she listens to Kiela speak with an ear turned in her direction. Thankfully the pregnancy wasn't taking a toll as much as she thought it would and the afternoon breeze was beginning to feel refreshing. "Vidarr mentioned that. He seemed eager to see you lead a hunt and replenish the stores,"  Tenshi nods thoughtfully, her gaze flickering to Kiela for a moment, a kind and friendly smile on her.

As they reach the valley, Kiela's last comment has her stalling. Tenshi blinks a few times before looking back at her belly. "Is it already that noticeable?"  Her brow furrows before she laughs. Well of course it was! How could anyone not notice the way her sides rounded just a little more than usual? "Reindeer sounds delicious. A good change from the sheep and deer we've had lately,"  she comments, another smile, friendly in nature, hopeful that Kiela didn't take offense or embarrassment to her initial reaction (it more of an "oh shit I'm fat!" reaction than anything).

Picking her easy pace back up, she continues farther into the valley with Kiela. "So, Vidarr mentioned a Sverre. I haven't met him yet. Is he...anyone particular to you?"  Tenshi probes lightly, not really one for gossip, but she does want to get to know Kiela better.
