Taure knelt next to her with a bowl of water and a rag. She dipped the rag in the water and dabbed on Kolia's forehead soothingly. How you hanging in there? Alright?

"I'm . . ." she had been about to say fine when another contraction started to gain strength. She dug her claws into the pallet shredding it. "IT HURTS!!" She stated the obvious and then let out a string of curses in vermin language.

The beast finally arrived at the group, identifiable as the vixen from the Darkwood infirmary. Hearing more than seeing Kolia, she approached the others nervously. "Um, I was sent to help..." She stated to anyone that was listening, catching sight of the other vixen in the tent.

Taure motioned for the other vixen to come into the tent as she continued to dab at Kolia's forehead. Thank goodness. I could use some help. She turned to Kolia. Try to relax as much as you can alright? That'll make it hurt a bit less. I'll see if I can find some ginseng. I've heard of it being used as a muscle relaxant...

"Roask," she cried pitifully as the pain receded again. "I want Roasky." She could hear the rain drumming on the tent canvas now. It reminded her of the night they had tried to enter Redwall. When he had agreed to use her plan, he'd thought the pregnancy was part of the ruse then. Did he know? Did he ever suspect that she was actually carrying his child? She wanted to tell him. She wanted him to hold her and tell her that everything would be alright. Then when another contraction hit her, she wanted to bash him over the head with a blunt object for doing this to her.

Vrelt stood outside the tent; he didn't know why he was even there. 'Why did I get involved with this?'. As drops of cold rain fell; he wished he never met Roask, or Kolia. Now he was stuck in Mossflower, with a bunch of woodlanders, trying to help a pregnant weaselmaid. Vrelt rested his paw on his sword; he didn't trust them, especially the wolf and the badger. He heard Kolia's agonized screams for Roask and he wished that he was somewhere else; far away from all this.

The vixen entered the tent, kneeling down and unshouldering her backpack to set it in her own lap. "Um, I have some supplies, if you need any..." She stated, telling the other vixen.
----------------------------------------
Meanwhile, a certain beast stood nearby, leaning against an elm tree, fidgeting with a knife. of course he didn't want to harm anybeast. It's just that he was curious. Yes, curious. He had his reasons for helping Kolia earlier. It had cost him some respect among the townsbeasts, and he would like to see how his investment 'paid off'.

Taure nodded at the other vixen gratefully. I probably will need them. Thank you. Could you help me get her situated a bit more comfortably? She smelled the creature leaning against the tree near them and regarded him warily when she heard the knife thrum through the air as it moved around in the creature's paws.

Moonlight glared at Vrelt, not trusting him for a minute. He walked over to Batou, all arguments forgotten. "I don't trust him" Moonlight whispered, jerking his head at Vrelt. "Notice how he has his paw already on his sword?"

"Yeah. I see him. Just a minute," Batou said as he stepped behind Vrelt. He hoped to make it abundently clear to him that if he tried anything, he would either get punched to the ground by the badger soldier behind him, or get bit by the wolf in front of him.

Ally watched the badger and the wolf take their places on either side of the ferret she couldn't pretend not to be relieved that some beast was keeping an eye on him. She had also noticed the weasel, Sergei was standing by. He didn't make her as nervous as the ferret even though he was fidgeting with a knife but she was curious why he had come out here in the wind and rain when he seemed to have a perfectly nice place back at the tavern. She looked around again for Florian then, wondering where the hare had got to.
Kolia's contractions were coming faster and harder now. When she wasn't crying in pain unable to think of anything she thought back to the dream she had had about her sons. She remembered they way they had looked and how they had acted. It seemed she had been given a glimpse of their personalities she wondered if they would truly be like that.
The rain battered down even harder outside and the wind howled. The storm was coming.

Taure adjusted the weaselmaid carefully and gripped her paw carefully in support. I'm right here. Just grip my paw whenever you feel the need. Would it help if you had something to bite down on also?

Kolia gripped the proffered paw tightly when when the next contraction came upon her. He water broke with a whoosh and the pains that she thought couldn't possibly get any worse increased tenfold. She nodded at the offer of something to bite down on more to keep herself from crying out as for any other purpose.

Taure squeezed Kolia's paw back reassuringly and grabbed a piece of leather. She carefully folded it into four layers and held it out to the weaselmaid. There. That ought to help at least a little.

The other vixen was busy sifting through the backpack until she noticed that Taure had already gotten something for her to bite on. Setting the bag aside, she heard the storm coming.
-----------------------------------------
The knife whirled through the air, spinning, coming to rest in the beast's paw once more. Rain dribbling in a miserable torrent around him, he stood as if it were a summer day, the droplets of water seeming to pass right through him. That was how it normally was for the weasel, unfeeling, cold and near-emotionless. But today was different. Somehow.
