Bearclaw Valley not everyone gets to die and that's just how it will be

i'm assuming he's somewhat mentioned his plan to arielle? i can edit if needed <3

Arielle had been sleeping somewhere nearby but was woken by the bruin-jaw's call. She didn't even remember falling asleep there. A rabbit carcass was laying next to her and she remembered grabbing it from a cache. She had been hungry at the time and exhausted as usual, so she must have just passed out on her way back. She felt sick now, and just the smell of the rabbit made bile rise up in her throat. She quickly left the area before she vomited. 

By now, there was an obvious roundness to her sides, and it would be clear to anyone who saw her that she was pregnant. She felt huge regardless of if she actually was. So she felt like shit on every single level. This was all kept to herself, though. She didn't want to give Aves a reason to feel worse than he likely already did. And the turmoil from her abandoning the bear was suffered in silence too. She definitely didn't want Aves to know about that. To everyone else she just seemed like she was sleeping all the time because that was impossible to hide.

The command in the bruin-jaw's summons meant that this was probably about his decision to leave. She wondered if Cyril would follow them? They had been working on the garden still, even if she had been scarce lately. Maybe they could have the same thing wherever they settled; it would be nice to have that to focus on. 

She silently took a seat next to her husband when she arrived, offering him small smile in greeting. Smiling was the last thing she wanted to do right now but she offered it to him so he wouldn't worry.

She shifted a little to find a more comfortable position and then waited for the others to arrive.
