Honeyed Pasture [M] bargaining chip

Hokulani was pleased by his agreeable response, quite clear from her body language. It will be, but I'm not worried. She was rarely worried about anything. The woman in my family don't have a history of dangerous births.

Her grandmother was a healer herself, and her mother had been a midwife many times before having her litter. It was fair to assume that their skillsets played a part, but Hokulani didn't give them much credit.

If you don't make your way to the coast in time, I'll send someone to look for you. She decided. You've promised me now, I'll make you live up to it. Maybe he hadn't actually 'promised' but he did agree. Hokulani would hold him to it.
