(312) wotd: quail
Lilin listened to her mate's guidance as if she were studying the phenomena, marveling in its miraculousness. Her sister had inherited more than their sire's distinct features, whether she realized it or not. Haku Soul's daughters had been blessed with his strength. Colibri was the strongest woman known to the Soulstorm heir. She handled everything admirably, refusing to quail in the face of darkness- coaxing a proud smile from her younger sibling's lips. If her co-leader's guess was accurate, the Soul bloodline would carry on in the form of three puppies. They were Vinatta's future. Seeing the birthing mother kiss the hand-carved Frithr necklace brought forth unexpected emotions. The Virding had to look away for a moment, visibly humbled by the emotional purity of the gesture. Blinking away unshed tears, Lilin murmured a silent prayer in an endeavour to save face and keep her composure.
She couldn't keep the surprise from her face when the chocolate Hollr's head settled onto her lap. It was unlike her sister to initiate any form of contact and the gesture itself caused her pools of ocean blue to glisten, catching the moon's reflection through the window. It felt like her own puppies responded to their aunt's touch, as they animated and shifted with the press of Colibri's forehead against their dam's abdomen. The Haki female flinched, announcing that her first child was on its way, and Lilin could only watch helplessly as her sister writhed and contorted. She refrained from making any sudden movements, afraid of interfering until the new mother's body finally stilled. Her dichotomous receivers lowered when her sibling's question wasn't immediately answered. Lilin craned her neck curiously, hoping to catch a glimpse of her newborn niece or nephew. Saul's words indicated that everything was fine for the time being, although his allusion to the fact that the child wasn't necessarily breathing was quite worrisome.
