It was really weird for Eljay to see Towhee wag her tail at him and smile at him. He didn't remember ever before seeing her do that, bar when she was really really small.

What she then described in similarly cheerful manner was something that was familiar to Eljay: all the doubts of the first time mother, but most of them sorted themselves out, such as the milk factory or all of the worries.

He supposed that Towhee had worries just like everyone else, it was just that he had never seen her show doubt in any kind of way. Eljay quickly pushed that to the back of his mind though and answered: Yes, yeah, that's normal. I guess being birthed is a pretty tiring ordeal.
