Lilin was an unnaturally light sleeper. She often found herself dozing in and out reality, all the while semi-conscious and semi-aware of her surroundings. The mother-to-be never failed to notice when her beau came home, when he left, or what took place in the household while her eyes were shut. Her body was heavy with her co-leader's children; the little beings inside of her belly wore her out, confining her to bed in a futile attempt to recuperate some of the energy lost. Her mind, however, was alert and wide awake most of the time. While she hadn't particularly acknowledged Saul's return nor his loving embrace, she'd found comfort in the fact that he was actually there at the very least. His continued absence was difficult to cope with and while she understood the reasons behind the scarcity, it didn't make dealing with it any easier.

She had been vaguely aware of the dream-like state he was in, the occasional twitching of a limb or the incoherent mumurs escaping his maw were good indications. A soft knock at their door pierced the silence, near instantly jolting Saul awake without her needing to wake him personally. He was faster than she was after all. Rising from the bed in her current state was a colossal task. It hadn't dawned on her that it could have been Colibri, not until her sister's flowery fragrance crept into the bedroom. At that moment, her eyelids fluttered open in shock and pure confusion. The urgency in Saul's voice was self-explanatory; speaking volumes with the simple intonation he'd used. She was already sitting up by then, in an attempt to stand up while rubbing the sleep from her mediterranean irises.

Dichotomous receivers were perked and alert, in an attempt to catch bits and pieces of their conversation as she applied one foot to the floor, carefully followed by another. Silently cursing her lentor, Lilin allowed a frustrated sigh to escape her lips as she hobbled herself to the main room - following as Colibri was being ushered into Temeraire's old room; the one where she'd spent the night a few weeks prior. There were some clean bed linens on the straw mattress, including a wool blanket. Lilin had taken the opportunity to make the room a little cozier, should they ever get another unexpected guest. ''Coli,'' she murmured from behind them, standing in the doorway while nervously running her fingers through her unkempt curls. As much as her sister most likely wasn't ready for this, she wasn't ready to see any of it. But together, they would make it through. Lilin merely stood in place, visibly horrified, as she watched the events unfold before her. She would not get in the way, unless Colibri wished for her to get any closer.
