Rising Sun Valley It's kind of like those sunsets

She wanted to block the odd-eyed woman completely from view, and keep Reverie from taking any interest in her. Something deep within Moss suspected the woman might be some kind of babysnatcher- who might tend to reverie and her children during birth, but slip away with one while the new mother was feverish and disoriented. What she'd intended as a reassurance came as a veiled threat, so Moss watched her leave with careful eyes. 

"Don't find her. You don't want to be indebted to a stranger." She said softly. She doubted very much that Reverie would want to pay for a midwife who would only be satisfied with one of the children as payment. She flicked an ear, to see if she heard any movement nearby- and then sat down. 

Her flecked eyes searched Reverie's, and again, only saw what seemed to be uncertainty. She sighed. 

"Why did you go on your own? Can you tell me why you wanted to be alone, and far from home and anyone who could help you, while you gave birth?" She asked calmly.
