(320) --

One soon became three. Lilin had been so caught up with her firstborn niece that she hadn't caught on to her sister's decreasing health until all of the newborn puppies found themselves in her arms. She too had noticed the overpowering smell of blood but, given that she had little knowledge of birthing procedures, she hadn't necessarily associated it with something being wrong. At first, the Virding had struggled to hold all three of them adequately - pressing them against her body perhaps a little too tightly. Last thing she wanted was to drop one of them. Once the pups were secure, Lilin finally permitted herself to glance at the bloody scene unfolding before her. What she'd mistaken for exhaustion was much more than that. Her breath caught in her throat, along with the silent whimpers that threatened to escape her parted maw. Saul's instructions rang clear and her dichotomous receivers lowered in response.

It felt was though her heartbeat was syphoning Colibri's, picking up the pace when her sister's was faltering and fading away. Still, she remained silent, clutching the children as she moved several feet away from the bed- repositioning herself at an angle where her eldest sibling would be able to see her offspring without effort. The Soulstorm heir did her best to stay out of her mate and co-leader's way, suppressing her anxiety as best as she could. She did her best not to look at anything but Coli's face, avoiding the excess of blood and the concern written all over Saul's face. ''Coli,'' she murmured, barely above the insistent squeaks of her nieces. ''You can't go to sleep yet. Your daughters still need you. Look at them,'' she continued, urging her to focus on the babies and not the gravity of the situation. Her tone of voice strained and quivered under the emotional weight of it all.

Don't go. I still need you.
