TRIGGER WARNING! This content might touch on topics that are sensitive or triggering for some readers. Trigger Warning for mentions of birth During the entire pregnancy she had been cautious and keeping herself away from danger. She had never been taught about how to be a mother and even less about what was to be expected during a pregnancy; her mother wasnt around to taugh her. Yet she managed to stay fed and overall healthy. Even through the typical nausea, the discomfort, and the pain, she knew this was the small price, the sacrifice she had to do for Vellen, the father of her child. This was her ultimate act of love for the deity who had always been there for her and her family. And now the child to come would be the most physical proof of it. And it was in one night that instinctively she knew it was the day, as contractions became stronger and constant. And during the night, she had brought him to life. Now cuddled into her belly, Viddar was taking his first meal. (AW)

Reina had noticed the woman's swollen belly. However, she did not personally know who the lioness was. She had kept an eye on her from a distance, stocking up on herbs for the right time.

The Saxe awoke in the early morning, silently checking on the unnamed woman's den from the outside. She noticed the change in scent, and the fragrance of milk was noticeable. Reina returned to her den and carefully grabbed the medicine she had stored.

She again moved towards the new mother's den, placing the herbs at her feet before barging in. "May I come in?" she asked. She wanted to be as respectful as possible. "My name is Reina, I'm... The Oasis' Lead Advisor... I can check on you and your baby if you'd like." She offered politely.

Though she hadn't come right out and let him know about her 'condition', the signs were hard to miss. So he wasn't entirely surprised when the faint scent reached him on the breeze, or when he spotted the dark form of @Reina outside the red woman's den. Morning patrol could wait, he wanted to see the new baby (babies?).

Unlike the advisor's cautious approach, Zaahir made a beeline for the den and would crouch to poke his nose inside with a grin, "Hey, how ya doin?" Reasonably comfortable? No medical emergencies? There seemed to be just one little shape tucked up against her, so was she done or was this only a pause in the process? "Need anything?" A snack? Some water? Painkillers?

She nudged her cub closer to her, her child..her blood and her world now. Tiny yet she knew he might be bringer of change and great things. She licked him clean. Pouring all the affection she could give. She looked up, "Vidarr...shall be his name.. the son of a god." She muttered. Yet the pain was still there and she knew help from others was more than needed. In response to that, instead of showing hostility to the two visitors she gave the Plum one a bow with the head, and then to the king. "You may come in miss. And same for you king @Zaahir ♔." She allowed her son to crawls back into her side. He seemed energetic already. @Reina @Corvus ★
