Spring was here, and it was time to get to work. There were three mothers here in Taviora this year. Zeltzin had been watching from affar of all their progress, but the only one thus far she had a relationship with was just her sister-in-law expecting her upcoming nieces and nephews. Zeltzin was so excited for her brother and his mate. Having children, finally, of their own she thought. She had been seeing to her brother when she could too, but mostly things have been quiet in the last few weeks since her brother had once again been challenged and easily dispatched the intruder. Her tail waved lightly as she sat outside her work place. Taking in the fresh spring day, wishing slightly that she could be amongst the expecting mothers. But, Lucero was gone, and she was slowly falling into the mindset that maybe she would never see him again. She didn’t fret too much on it, or tried not to. She just hoped Midna and him were safe wherever they were, together out there doing whatever it was he felt he had to do away from Moladion. Still she had to focus on other mothers, and Ilias too, he needed her as well and the job was what she would focus on… not him, not anymore.

She was a bit somber but the call had immediately jolted her from her thoughts. Zelda, while she walked the path of diplomacy had told her mother countless times she wanted to learn healing. Well today it would seem she would be getting her very first very hard core lesson in dealing with birthings and how much risk there would be in having children. Rare as it was to have such a terrible case, Zeltzin knew the risks of what may be going on with the female who’s call weakly hit the air. She snached up her bag looking to her daughter who was sorting herbs into piles for her within the den. ”Hurry Zelda someone needs us, its urgent.” The girl gave her mother a nod snatching up another little rabbit pelt bag and both of them took off together through the pack.

Soon the male’s calls for help reached their ears and the mother-daughter pair turned towards him. Zeltzin didn’t exchange greetings, but Zelda however looked up at the brute excitedly and surprised. ”QUI! When did you get here!? Wait… later! Hold on we will help your mate!” She had said rushing behind her mother after, again not knowing that Paisley was not his mate and these were not his pups. If he led the way or watched that as up to him, she soon found her way to the den and looked to her smaller daughter were setting to work.

”Hello miss, I am Zeltzin and my assistant is Zelda, my daughter, we will take care of you.” She says softly looking over the mother and the pups. She did a good job cleaning them, but blood filled her nose as soon as they came upon the den now she could see why with blood pooling at her rear. Tearing… It was bad. ”Zelda, give her poppies and a fair bit of yarrow. It will ease her pain, the yarrow will staunch the bleeding as it passes through her… Give her birthroot too. A larger chunk. Those two combined over time will stop this.” She says, feeling bad for she knew that otherwise there was little she could do but clean her up and treat her for pain. Internal damage was a finicky thing at best. Just treat with herbs to hope they fix the problem and eventually stanch whatever was going on. Give her things to help with her energy and see that they are eating well.

Using moss, Zeltzin slowly cleaned up Paisley. The bleeding was still existent but it would take a fair bit of time before she would improve. Rest… lots of Rest and no moving.

She sighed sitting over her and the two small pups that were, she assumed the dark male’s. ”She will need you more than ever now. You will have to see that she eats, even if she doesn’t want too. Keeping her energy up is the best thing you can do for the children and her until the herbs kick in. She’s weak, but she will pull through with your help. I promise.” She says encouraging the male best she could.

”I will continue to monitor her for the next few weeks, if not longer, myself or Zelda that is. Giving her yarrow and birthroot as we go along, she will be okay.” That was all she could do, with Paisley weak she didn’t want her to waste energy and just rest and focus on the pups. They looked healthy and well though, their cries strong. She smiled, wishing she could experience that feeling again, yet this would likely forever be as close as she would get to it. She was happy they were healthy and soon their mother would be happy and healthy too. Least that was Zeltzin’s hope for them all.
