Ruenna was so relieved to hear Aquene reassuring words. Minute by minute, as Aquene talked Ruenna's anxiety lifted visibly from her bearing. Ultimately, she was left looking ten pounds lighter, smiling and swinging her tail when Aquene concluded.
"Yes, I am," she answered Aquene's question about her intentions to conceive, so relieved that she didn't even have it in her to feel embarrassed about the intimate question. Aquene then offered to a tincture to assist in this goal, and Ruenna dipped her muzzle in assent. "Please, that would be most appreciated." This was exactly what she had hoped for when she sought out Aquene, and she was glad that she would not have to fumble over her words as she tried to explain what she wanted. Aquene just knew, and Ruenna was so grateful for that.
Would Aquene draw up the tincture now, or would she need time to collect more materials? Ruenna wasn't sure how much longer she had before the party was in full swing, so to speak.
"There's one more thing, but it's on a related note. My back.." Ruenna trailed off a bit awkwardly, wondering if Aquene could again divine what she was thinking without her having to embarrass herself by speaking aloud. Ruenna had not yet come to Aquene about her back pain because of her strong conviction that the pack's budding stores of medical supplies should go entirely to the soldiers. ..But this was a little different. Not to be crude, but when it came down to it, the future of Ruenna's family-- and even the pack, maybe-- rested squarely upon whether Ruenna would be able to bear the weight of a wolf on her back for the time it took for nature to run its course.

Ruenna experiences chronic lower back pain as a result of an accident from over a year ago. She moves with a very obvious, heavy limp.
