Kolia looked at the wolf as he removed his paw from his blade and spoke. She nodded, "I haven't seen my mate in over a month." She thought it was odd to refer to Roask as her mate but she guessed that's what he was. Then rubbing her stomach she looked back at the vixen. Travel? She didn't want to go anywhere. She wanted to find Roask but it didn't look like she was going to be able to do that until after the twins were born so she wanted to have them and then get back to her searching. "Where are you going?" she asked.

Taure tapped her chin for a moment before she remembered. We're heading for Redwall Abbey. We're suppose to meet our friend Gemma there after she finishes her visit at Salamandastron. You're welcome to join us. I know the people at Redwall would be happy to help you and your twins.

Batou's mind had been made somewhat paranoid from the battlefield and his job as a guard, so he thought 'So we're going to be taking a possibly dangerous beast into Redwall abbey. Now I'll really have to keep an eye on her, before she does something to that almost defenseless place.'

The vixen had no way of knowing she had just said the wrong thing. "No," Kolia said quietly backing away. Then she said it again louder, paw back on her dagger. "No! I won't go back there! You can't make me!"

The vixen tilted her head curiously for a moment before holding up her paws placatingly. Hey it's okay. You don't have to go there with us if you don't want to. We're not going to make you go anywhere. Just relax okay.

"Good, I . . ." Kolia started to say but then she cried out in pain, both paws going to her stomach, all else forgotten. This pain was the most intense that she had had by far. She felt as if her legs could no longer support and she reached out for the nearest thing to keep herself from crumbling to the ground. That happened to be Taure and Ally. She looked fearfully into the vixen's blind eyes, "What are they doing to me?" To Kolia it felt as if the two whelps where going to claw their way out.

Taure helped lay the weaselmaid down gently. I'm not sure what it is yet. How far along are you? Do you know? She grabbed some cloth, rolled it up, and layed it behind the weaselmaid's head for a pillow.

Kolia was still cringing as the pain receded. "The stoat healer in there," she gestured toward the healers home, "said it might be up to a week more if I take it easy." She saw no reason to lie or exaggerate to the vixen. "I've been havin' pains for over a week now, but nothin' like that'n just now."
Ally took her eyes off Florian and tried to help Kolia in whatever way she could. She'd nearly forgotten that her paws were still bound. "I could be of more help of somebeast could get this, blinkin' rope off me."
Kolia flashed her a dangerous glance but she wasn't exactly in the place to argue. She nodded her reluctant approval for Ally to be given her freedom.
((you wanna come act the hero and cut her free Florian?))

The vixen nodded thoghtfully. Well premature births are surprisingly common, especially with twins. By the looks and sound of things, I'd say those twins of yours are ready to come out.

"Oi, I didn't even notice your new bands Ally!" Florian yelped, jumping down from the top of the cart and landing on one of the ples Batou had been using to pull it along. Landing on the ground he rushed forward, and with a few flicks of his wirst let the ropes holding the female hare's wrists together flop to the ground. Bowing shortly thereafter Florian turned towards Batou. "There's a pallet somewhere in that cart. Please grab it and lay it out for our pregnant friend here."

"Thank you," Ally sighed, gazing at him, "Florian." He was her hero, her knight in shining armor. The wind whipped at her ears. It was a warm wind from the south and she was about to comment on how nice it was after the cold they'd had till now when she felt the first drop of rain on her nose. "They're gonna need t' get that tent up."
Kolia, too, felt a drop of rain and the rise in the wind. She sniffed at the air. It was no ordinary winter breeze. There was a storm coming. Another pain gripped her and tears came to her eyes. She had no idea her emotions would be effected this way but then the rest of her pregnancy had been an emotional roller coaster so why not this moment as well. "I wanted Roask to be here to see his sons," she whimpered.

The crunch of snow could be heard in the distance. A beast was approaching the group from the town of Darkwood, a backpack on their back and a cloak wrapped around them to ward off the cold. In addition, a dagger was tucked away on the back of the beast's belt, hidden by the cloak. Just in case. The figure was brought into view as they came to see Kolia and the strolling players.

Batou came running out from behind the wagon with the pallet from earlier and now a tent. "I got it!" he shouted to Taure. He started to stake it down, saying, "We better hurry. Just in case it gets really windy!"

Ally shook her head, ears flopping in the wind and began to help setting up the tent. She still couldn't help but feel bound to the weaselmaid even though her paws were free. She would help see her whelps safely delivered even if no other beast would. But it looked like she wouldn't have to worry about being in good company.
Kolia rested in the relative calm between contractions and allowed herself to be moved onto the pallet that the badger had brought for her. She watched as the tent went up around her.
