Yup ! 300+
The warrior’s flinch did not go unnoticed. Alexey momentarily froze in her movements, suddenly aware that she’d unwillingly invaded the soon-to-be mother’s personal space. Her hand remained pressed lightly against the Adonis’ back, just for a few seconds, before she retracted it with care. Reassuring someone like Cwmfen wasn’t an easy task. Never had she encountered someone like her before. Lexey returned the ebony woman’s smile, although there was a tinge of worry interlaced with her pleasant expression. She felt for her pack mate; this pregnancy most obviously had not been part of her plan. The Koios girl didn’t know much about the way of the warrior, but she understood that children were bound to interfere.
Alexey murmured a soft acquiescence as Cwmfen confirmed her suspicions. Her wanting to be alone was normal. She too, would have done the same. It took a lot of courage to openly display such vulnerability in front of others. Needless to say, the Acer hadn’t quite expected the third-in-command to require anyone’s help. How wrong she was. Cwmfen spoke again, this time revealing her wishes. Alexey remained quiet, obviously baffled by her pack mate’s affirmation. Her smile did not falter; if anything, it grew wider. A nod was given, as if to confirm the invitation. She had every intention of assisting and possibly being of use as a midwife, if her presence was truly wanted.
Her gaze followed Cwmfen’s, all the way down to the baby fox resting in her lap. Conor’s pet was dozing in and out of sleep. Her attention, however, returned to the Adonis when another question reached her beige-colored ears. Alexey couldn’t help but chuckle, noticeably amused by her friend’s confusion. “You worry too much. Just don’t step on them and you’ll be fine,” she replied nonchalantly, clearly not concerned with Cwmfen’s inexperience. “That is true. It took Conor and Emwe about ten days to open their eyes. They couldn’t see very well until they reached a month of age.”
