Sun Mote Copse Another summer wasted

Having apparently taken Niamh's wry comment fairly seriously, Maia inched a bit closer, but didn't chance anything by drawing near Niamh's side. Willing to make conversing a bit easier, though, Niamh shifted so that she could lay on her side, with her chest propped up a bit by her forelegs, facing Maia who moved with a sort of self-conscious timidity. 

To Maia's first question, she shook her head. She was hungry- but she wanted her stomach to settle first. Maia then suggested eating grass, but Niamh again shook her head. "Nah. I don't think I need to be sick. This is just gonna happen, I guess, and I just kinda hafta suck it up." She said. Realizing then that maybe Maia didn't know yet, she wrapped her tail around her hind legs, with its tip pointing at her belly. "I'm pregnant. Or, pretty sure I am, I guess," She said with a soft smile and a gentle shrug.
