The Night Mother's Children (BIRTHING THREAD)

last post from me!

Meldresi was taken aback by the sincere devastation and sadness on Bane's face. It startled her at first, but then sympathy and empathy began to grow, and finally hatred for herself. She dismissed it as if it were nothing, which it was. She could hardly do anything for them; their hearts were stilled long before she went into labor it seemed. But it was not her fault. "They were dead before they were born. Why those three specifically, I'm not sure. But the three remaining are healthy and strong and we should focus on them."

The priestess sighed softly, feeling exhaustion overwhelm her when Bane last spoke. She was in no more mood to speak with Bane right now, or anyone. She simply wanted to sleep with her newborns and enjoy some semblance of peace. "Good. Now, let us be, Bane." the priestess murmured drowsily, already drifting off into the gentle darkness of sleep.
