Saul Lupus is by Alaine!
Grace was surprisingly compliant and leant back to allow him access to her stomach. The pair remained silent as his hand moved in what was now a practised motion across her abdomen. He was certain that he would be making the movements more times than he could count in future years, but having not encountered a pregnant female aside from Ever so long ago, this was a new experience for him altogether. That was the beauty of learning new things however, the thrill of learning a new skill or acquiring a new piece of information. He couldn't help the smile that sketched across his face when he felt the familiar hardness to her abdomen- the very early stages of what would soon become an expanding stomach. Straightening and announcing his news was a more joyful experience for the male- for Grace it was not so much.
The wrench of her shoulder from his grasp caused Saul's smile to slip from his lips in much the same manner as Niernan's had just milliseconds before his own. Her one word (and shockingly determined) answer caused a frown to etch onto his lips, but he made no move to stop the golden female as she scrambled down the side of the house. His green gaze found Niernan's and he couldn't help but mirror the flinch of his cousins when his pregnant lover slammed the door shut behind her. Moments later, she emerged with a bag and an angry expression on her face. Logically he supposed the shock never went the same way with all females- Colibri had very nearly had a complete breakdown whereas Lilin had been rather standoffish and defensive.
A soft sigh echoed from the male as he stood properly, making a deal of stretching so allow Niernan a moment. The soft sniffle told him his instinct had been right and he turned to look for Grace in the distance before the painful throat-clearing alerted him to his cousins need. Turning back, Saul offered the male a soft, encouraging smile. The Irishman's words sounded a little hollow, but he supposed they would do. It is great news, I'm very happy for you. But I think you should go and calm Grace down and talk this through with her... reassure her you'll be there for her. He offered softly, green eyes kind. With a squeeze to his cousins arm, Saul extracted himself from the hill-roof and headed back towards home, the news weighing heavy on his mind.
