Meldresi sighed, content in the fact that her son was still and silent after his loud bawling. She took this moment's peace to wonder what had drove him to such loud cries. He rarely made noises other than growls, to both her and his siblings. It must have been pain that took him to that threshold, but what kind still escaped her. Was it him hitting his back, or something she physically did?

Content that he was no longer a problem at the moment, the priestess gingerly unwound herself from her son, moving ever so slightly as not to wake him up. It was very, very annoying when she had just gotten a child to sleep, only to have them wake up once more.
