The Sunspire Dance

no! she whispered, trying to tuck against Olive, suddenly full of anxiety from all of the company (even if she wanted them all there).  She saw Terance arrive and her eyes twinkled, creased at the corners.  come, she requested, but just as quickly as she had, the medic was sending him away.

then very quickly, the two babes spilled from her body, and hyacinth was approaching.  nature was guiding her to eat the sacs herself, but the medic swept in and nosed them herself.  her heart caught in her chest — was she supposed to let her?  she kind of wanted to growl (nature again, sorry hyacinth) and she heard it catch in her throat, but quickly she decided she did not want to fight.  she relinquished her babes reluctantly and turned her head as if she had been burned, and because of all of the emotions she began to cry in a mixture of sadness and euphoria.
