Bearclaw Valley calm and collected, she keeps her composure

There was a moment of hesitation between Reigi's invite and Blondine's acceptance; she preferred to stay either beyond or before the border, and never really found the actual borderline to be of any interest. Nonetheless, she appreciated the opportunity to spend more time with Reigi, so with a firm nod of her head, she followed the mercenary's guiding gaze. I don't know what I'm doing, Blondine warned in a sing-song voice. It couldn't have been that hard, though, right? What did they have to do besides look-out and pee?

How's that belly? the young medic asked, her eyes slowly rolling over Reigi's swollen belly. It wouldn't be long now; the skin was taut and nearly void of fur, and the protruding nipples weren't going to be easily hidden. If Reigi's due date was coming, then Blondine knew that Laurel would be following soon after; she'd have to talk to Xan about leaving, and she would have to do it soon.
