It was easy to see that Alder was nervous. As inexperience would leave many feeling. She gave him a soft, reassuring smile as her honey hued hand clasped his shoulder. ”It’ll all be alright. Take a deep breath,” she said, knowing it would help settle his nerves as taking a deep breath herself to illustrate the point. ”Calm and steady now, for her sake more than ours.” She gestured towards the mare with tilt of her head. ”No need adding our nerves to her own.” In truth, unless it turned out that Lumiere would need their help, it would probably be best to leave her alone. Anann’s only concern was that the foal might be too large, considering the sire and their help could quite possibly be needed.
”Eeaasy, sweetheart,” she cooed, a golden hand running along the roan neck as entered the stall as Alder held the door for her. Moving along the mare’s side Anann’s hand never left Lumiere’s side, letting the mare know where she was. ”It’s alright.” Anann continued crooning to the mare, trying to get a looking to see just how far along Lumiere was. ”Well, it doesn’t appear that the birthing sack has broke yet and I don’t see any feet either.” At this point it could be anything from minutes to hours. It was all just a waiting game now.
She had kept a calming hand on the mare the whole time she was in the stall, cooing soft and calming words all the while. She exited the stall quietly, giving Lum a gentle pat. ”Come, Alder. I need a hand gathering a few things for when the foal comes.” Anann had already found everything they might need, but it was a distraction and would give Lumiere time to settle and let things take their natural coarse.
