Ankyra Sound [m] but i do it for the kids

When they approached the threshold, Tiuttuk halted to let Sobeille proceed inside alone. She didn’t want to intrude into the space clearly chosen as a whelping den unless properly invited. Well, she wanted to accompany the laboring woman inside but she restrained herself, keeping her own desires in check and deferring to Sobeille’s.

Should I call for anyone? she asked as Sobeille presumably made herself as comfortable as she possibly could, given her condition. Or I can send Alaric to fetch anyone you need, she added, glancing at him a little guiltily as she volunteered him for a task he may not want to take. I’ll be right here, no matter what, unless, of course, Sobeille sent her away.

Even then… Tiuttuk didn’t think she could go very far. If Sobeille expressed a wish to birth her children in solitude, then she would respect that, but she decided she would remain in earshot no matter what. She licked her lips and glanced at the man hovering in the backdrop, both of them waiting to do the mother-to-be’s bidding.
