A little bit of powerplay just to get it rolling >_> Backdated to the 10th. Let's try our hardest to keep it slightly PG XP Post order: Ralla, Mizu, Desiree, repeat. There is a 2-day reply wait time. If the person does not reply within 2 days, the next may assume to do so or wait. (Nootau: Visible, and went to fetch Mizu beforehand using his...spirity self)

Ralla had been feeling more confined than ever in the past week, Kemo having insisted that she stay in the hut and not leave it at all. She could understand his concern, since climbing the ladder was hazardous with a pregnant belly, but the inability to run around or even walk about the village was making the white wolfess a little stir-crazy. On the other hand, the morning sicknesses and constant kicking had been keeping her occupied, usually cured by plenty of water, mild fish, and lots of sleep. Lots. Ayasha had integrated well into the hut, and Ralla enjoyed speaking to her daughter when she wasn't out performing her duties as a scout. Oh, how Ralla missed doing her duty. She wanted to see the Great Fire again; feel its warming touch and do her duty as she was supposed to. And a Councilwoman being confined--well! It certainly left Ralla feeling bereft of her tribe; feeling as if she were missing out on their activities.

Kind as always and a true friend to the end, Susquehanna had come to visit Ralla in the red maple, bringing Desiree along with her, to keep the white wolfess company. She apologized to them profusely for lack of proper seating, since the table and chairs had been moved to the observatory--which remained yet three fourths finished--and instead hobbled to take out cushions for them to sit on near the pile of blankets and cushions that Kemo and Ralla called their bed. Indeed, it was more like a heap of linens and pillows, but it was comfortable and warm. Ralla was already very tired from that morning's bout of sickness, and instinctively she had known that it would be the day that pups would come. It was just a feeling, but Ralla had come to trust her instincts more as experience had drilled into her. It was all confirmed when the first shock hit her, deep in her stomach, which made her clench her fists tightly as she let out a gasp. Looking down, at first surprised by the hit of nausea and pain, she then looked up to her old friend with forest green eyes, imploring her. "Hanna...they're coming...!"

Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks.
