Redsand Canyon 'cause we were misfits

For @Ruenna

The woman had returned with plants aplenty to restock her storage with, a hide filled to the brim that she pulled along the dirt and carefully started to store within their individual slots. The nausea had set in that morning, causing her to barely keep down her breakfast and avoid any mention of the word lunch. She thought maybe it was the lack of sleep and had continued on with her work. Instead, she was heading towards the palazzo with a bundle of herbs in her grasp meant for the Matrona. It had been far too long since they had last caught up and much had changed. Now, Aquene was married, and Ruenna was pregnant.
 
Arriving at the threshold, she cleared her throat. “Ruenna?” The word grazed her lips as she set down the smaller transportation hide that contained the bundle of herbs. “May I come in?” She would not do as Towhee had done and invade upon a woman’s marital den without permission, despite the supposed lack of the Imperator about. She did hope the woman was resting properly, her mind flashing back to the way her mother pushed herself and ultimately paid with her life for not taking it easy while carrying cubs in her womb. “I have some prescriptions for you to help with the pregnancy.” In addition to the pain meds, though they had been altered to allow for safety of the children she now carried inside.
