Wheeling Gull Isle my tears melt into the sea

looking for @Minori (whenever you have time!) but @Takara , @Naoyuki , and @Miwa are all welcome to join or cameo ^^

Huā knew she must check on her general. Her piercing scream had echoed across the island in the week passed,  and the empress had not followed it, feeling it was not her place to be present on the scene of birth. That ought to be reserved for Minori and whoever might serve as father, and perhaps a wetnurse if they'd had one. But she had passed casually by the den in the past few days without approaching too closely, hearing the sniffles and mewls of children and smelling milk. Successful, then- whether one or four, any living child was a success. 

Today she was keen on visiting the new mother, checking in, collecting the information about Yuèlóng's new puppies and congratulating her. The magic den of seaglass was enchanting, and Huā stopped outside, calling gently into the mouth of the den, though averting her gaze with politeness. Minori?~
