The Light Shines Through

+5. Tal might have to examine Bangle's rapid mood swings later :x

Though he stood frozen in the doorway, there were a mix of emotions running through the coywolf. An uneasy mix of fear and uncertainty kept him rooted at the spot in the room, as he listened to Skye's strained words: 'They're coming'.

What if he wasn't ready for this? He couldn't just disappear now, when she needed him the most. He advanced towards her side on the bed as her body contorted with waves of pain, taking hold of one of her hands that clutched desperately onto the sheets. It seems as if both their prayers were answered as a familiar white wolf came into the house, as Bangle had left the door open in his flurry to get in. A small grin was offered as he recognized the male, though Bangle wasn't sure if the mother-to-be knew of him and his knowledge of herbs. Even if she didn't, as Taliesin offered his medical expertise, she would have let the newcomer help her if it meant she could be rid of her pain.

Bangle unknowingly clenched his teeth together, though he was relieved to see the herbalist there. "Thank ye-" His speech was cut short by the decisive actions of Tal, who had handed him a vial of dark liquid and gave the coywolf instructions. Though he had messed with strange concoctions before, Bangle was not about to ask how the liquid's properties would help, and simply complied. With one hand he grasped the small vial, and with the other he gently lifted Skye's head from where it lay on the bed. The craftsman set the female's head back down after he helped her down the liquid, and though he hadn't an idea of the taste, he could smell its strong odor.

He set the vial at the bedside in time to hear the herbalist speak some comforting words to his own mate. Orange-yellow eyes flit from Tal to Skye and back again, and a heavy sigh of relief swept over the coywolf as he heard the herbalist speak. Though the brief relief wouldn't fully settle his nerves; at present, it seemed as if it was he who was delivering the pups instead of Skye. Bangle's eyes settled onto her form: exposed and vulnerable, yet still full of life and light. Bangle had hoped Shawchert would be there to see this day, or the other members of Cercatori, for that matter. Today, though, she was no headstrong leader making decisions for her pack. Today, she was just another female in need of assistance to bring her pups into the world and experience the joys of motherhood.

The coywolf's line of thought was cut off, however, as Taliesin asked a question in Bangle's general direction. "Hwha-? Oh, yeh.." Bangle felt torn to part from Skye in her time of need, but knew his brief departure from the room to fetch a wooden bowl would not be disastrous. Bangle came back as quickly as he could, though he felt as if he was walking on air the moment he stepped foot into the house. Setting the bowl onto the ground with the other male's items, Bangle watched as Skye reacted towards another contraction. He nearly leapt to her side again, clutching onto her hand. "Wh-what should I do?" He asked to no one in particular, his voice matching his frightened expression.
