King Elk Forest Mechanical Love

Cruor tradition dictates that no male may enter the whelping den, they are, however, allowed to be outside of it ;)

Vex had begun laboring almost a full day ago, and she had retreated to her whelping den, alone. She'd not seen @Jaganatha since she'd told him to call for @Fury when her time came, and, well, it was here now. How long the travel might take her allied warqueen, Vex didn't know for certain.

Her den was deep and wide, sheltered by the massive tree above — @Kevalin had certainly impressed her. It was lined with needles and dried grasses, and various hare pelts lined it, keeping it nice and warm. It was a birthing chamber fit for a Queen, to be sure... and Vex had very nearly wrecked it — she labored and pushed, but nothing came, and she had thrashed and moved about so much that the bedding was scattered and the pelts were dirt-caked.

Vex left the den, panting and moaning, where she began to pace. How long would this take her?
