Tindra gets herself to the healers...
-
It was a fine morning. Sure, a rain cloud loomed over the horizon, but isn't that always the case in Norwick? Tindra walked down the road to the center of town for some socializing. Her heavy belly gave her a bit of a waddle as she walked.
She suddenly felt a twinge, which gave her some pause. She patted her belly, perhaps the kids just kicked her in just the right spot. Another twinge, this time harder. Her eyes grow wide as she lets out a gasp. As quickly as she can, accepting help if need be, she gets herself to the town healers.
Moments later, a messenger is dispatched urgently to find Rith and Jerrick…
-
The resident Sunite Knight attempts an arts and crafts project in honor of the new babies, but no one told him precisely why he couldn't bronze a floral arrangement. After it goes horribly wrong, he just writes a letter of congratulations to the new family, sends some pressed flowers with it, then puts more burn salve on his hands.
The letter smells like rose water, but it's got the lingering scent of acrid metal, something not unlike fried chicken, and aloe vera. And for a Sunite, Rico's penmenship is atrocious.
-
Cara come's in to see the babies. Remaining quiet and a bit unsure as to how to act around children, she simply smiles to everyone in the room, mirroring the happy energy. After a moment, she asks…
Where did the tails go? They were born with tails right?
Laughing, she smiles shyly to Tindra and Jerrick.
-
Through all the commotion, Albry seems to keep her distance and to herself, spending her time in the barracks or the southern gates. She seems to be in no hurry to visit the couple.
-
Aramuil is seen carrying a bag that appears to be overflowing with baby items into the Healers.
-
_A quiet woodsman brings in a satchel that clinks with the familiar sound of jostling ale bottles.
He hands it to Jerrick and nods, with that universal, unsaid male understanding of "you probably need a drink by now."
After pausing to offer some quiet congratulations to the couple, he is off again to the South and into the Rawlins._
-
Things quiet down, and the door opens, a familiar redhead appearing, and gesturing a few people in at a time.
Once a few people are brought in, Jerrick takes care to introduce them to the two sleeping children, both red-haired and blue-eyed little girls.
Meet Elaine Xixia Rayfe, and Leena Lynn Rayfe. With that, he sits on the bed with Tindra, holding her hand in his own, watching protectively over the children while people visit.
-
It's more than a day that the room is left undisturbed, as quiet talking occurs between mother and father.
The children wake occasionally, and even once raise a brief fuss, as children do, but are soon quieted by what sounds … not unlike a lullaby, just in a language that only one of the nearby companions would understand.
Who'd have thought he could sing?

*Fad grins, catching Tojan and giving the pixie a gentle, affectionate poke in the belly!
Two new, adorable little kittens!
she chuckles, then awww's at lune's stuffed animals
You know, I think the three of us are just going to melt when we see those kids for the first time…
-
Lune joins Fadia and Tojan, bearing stuffed animals - cats and unicorns,
soft and cuddly. It's never too early to start children on those, after all.She giggles softly at the excited pixie, offering her a little wave before
getting comfortable for the wait to see mother and children."I wonder what names they'll decide on … "
-
Within the room…
A disheveled Tindra rested on a bed, still and silent. The birth wasn't easy, with there being twins, but in the end two identical girls entered the world and neither mother nor daughter was much worse for wear. Jerrick's hand, unfortunately, throbbed with some pain from her grip earlier. Tindra didn't look that strong, but she sure squeezed his hand with a fierceness not expected.
The twin babies slept in a bed nearby. Additional wood was warped by druidic powers to convert the bed into a crib. Light red hair covered the babies' heads, and their blue eyes were shut.
Outside the room...
Tojan the pixie buzzed happily around the room. "Kittens! Kittens! I've got new Kittens! Isn't it great, Violet?" the pixie exclaimed while zipping around the druid's head with such speed that her hair was getting messed up.
-
Troff walks off hearing the news with a small smile, and something glowing yellow on his right hand for the rest of the day
-
After a while, the Lathanderite priestess exits the room, a bright look in her honey eyes as she spoke out loud
Two healthy and lovely twins have been successfully delivered to their parents. They have already been tended to, and they do not need further cares, other than their parents' love.
I know you are all excited to see them, but I need to ask you to give them some privacy. Besides, it's the first time our lovely mom had a child, and it wasn't one, but two. She needs now a lot of rest.
The Dawnbringer gave then a big smile to Tojan
Just a bit more, Sparkly. You'll soon see the kittens. The wait is worth it, I promise.
-
_*Fadia waits patiently within the healer's outside of Lorie's room, making it known that should her medical services be needed, they are most certainly available.
Otherwise, she simply remains outside, keeping the others company and staying all too close to the door as she waits for news of her sister's children!*_
-
There seems to be an elf atop the temple sitting on the roof. How he got up there is anyones guess. He seems to fidget quite a bit, occasionally moving to another spot on the roof, sitting, then moving again. Waiting (patiently?) for the hopefully good news.
-
The sun neared it's noon time zenith, shining brightly down on the town of Norwick. That raincloud on the horizon was a lot closer, however, and threatened to give the town a good drenching.
Visitors to the healers' house would hear the occasional gasps and cries from Tindra in her room. From Rith could be heard hymns and prayers to Lathander, and druidic chants are heard from Jerrick. In between songs and prayers, soft words of comfort.
Tojan the pixie fluttered around the lobby. She had a worried look and often glances at the door, but it was obvious her spirits were high.
A few moments later, Tindra's voice pierced the air. There is a bustle of activity heard from her room. Prayers and words sound more urgent, authoritive tones of instruction.
The pixie halts her pacing and stares at the door leading to Tindra's room. "Soon, Kitty… soon..."
-
_All that was seen from outside was Rith wearing a plain looking yellow robe as she opened the door for Jerrick. As he entered, Rith gave a smile and a wink to the pixie Tojan to let her know that everything was under control, then the door was shut once again.
Immediately after, a prayer and a blessing can be heard. While it's hard to make out the words, all of them seem very light mooded, with possitive, joyful messages._
-
There is no warning, save for a flutter of wings before whoever guarding the door is dive bombed by a large haw-wait, no, it's a Jerrick. He slides to a stop having canceled his shift mid-air, and high speed, and almost slides past the door, only stopping thanks to a wild grab.
Three spells are cast before he gets up the stairs. Two wisdom spells, and a 'create water' just after he strips off his armor and tosses it to someone nearby, putting on his clean healer's robe once he's washed himself off.
He dissapears up the stairs in a rush.

sorry, I know this is hardly related – but I keep picturing this cinematic masterpiece with such AMAZING special effects... I am sure SOME of you will be old enough to remember it...
-
Troff wates outside the building. More than a little anxious and excited, just waiting for the good news, and offers a few prayers to Lathander and Selun for his friend.
