Ravensblood Forest Love Goes On And On

Lorelai was exhausted. She was happy to see Erzulie, and her eyes shone with pride as the seawoman entered the birthing den. "Nursing very well." she answered softly. Then, even quieter so only Erzulie could hear her, she whispered sadly, "I... I lost one. Noir buried her for me. I don't want anyone else to know, but..." she fell silent, trusting Erzulie to understand. She wasn't seeking pity, but Erzulie had trained her for this day, and it seemed only fair to tell her the whole truth about the process. Lorelai knew that death was a part of life, but she was still saddened. She gave a soft sigh. "Can I sleep now?" she asked Erzulie, cerulean eyes wide - she feared something might happen to them if she were to sleep, so she sought affirmation.
