Northstar Vale Brick and mortar as thick as scripture

Yuudai was beyond worried. Hiromi was missing, and Reiko had up and left. Hime was wandering around and Takeshi had also been oddly vacant recently. Which left him unsure of where he was most needed. He was beyond exhausted trying to keep track of everyone, and the one person he expected to always be in his corner, his wife, was no where to be found. So he had painfully stayed in the territory, protecting the Empire it seemed everyone except Ibis and Vespera had abandoned.

Which had led to this day. Where he was left to watch the young restless soon to be mother pace the edge of their territory. He knew Vespera was nervous, the frantic energy washed off of her in waves. If he were so noble he might have felt pity for her. Alas she was a good friend, and Yuudai was determined to help her see this pregnancy and parenthood through to the end. So he took the babysitting duty.

The stumbles he understood, and the paranoia. What he did not expect was for her to take off after the scent of a complete stranger without thought to her own safety. "Wait! Verspera!" Yuu called quickly chasing after her. When the other man came into view the samurai's panic only grew. "Vespera, no!" He tried calling again, before she suddenly stopped?

Yuudai came to a screeching halt beside her. Glancing between the pair. Clearing his throat, Yuu flashed Vespera a glare asking her to at least take a step back. He was nervous of this man, even if the duchess knew him, Yuudai was less sure. Although he was wary, Yuu waited patiently for the yearling to answer the question possed.
