Catori looked up at the young healer and smiled as he spoke quietly. We're doing just fine. Thank you for all your help. It really means a lot to us. A tiny otter wandered into the infirmary and saw that a door was open so he, being extremely curious as all Dibbuns are, went to investigate.

Elthia nodded and smiled at the couple, "We set your parents up in a room in the dormitories. So they'll be just down the hall for as long as you stay with us." She was about to close the door and leave them to their rest when she remembered something else she needed to tell them, "I'll be just out here if you need anything during the night. Then tomorrow if you are doing well enough, I've asked the Skipper to accompany me to Camp Willow so I can get those herbs from Sardra." She blushed when she said 'the skipper' which she hoped was not visible in the low light. She had not yet noticed the little otter sneaking around behind her.

Catori nodded and smiled. Thanks a million, Marm. I dunno where we'd be without you. The tiny otter wandered around the room curiously, looking at everything and everyone that was in there. He even climbed up on the bed next to Laney to get a better look at her.

"Oh seasons, where did you come from?" Elthia asked the little otter going over to fetch him off the bed.
"It's alright." Laney beamed. She was thinking that their own little one would some day be crawling up to see them like this. She looked up and smiled at Catori and then back down at the kitt. "What's your name?" she asked him.
Elthia stood back though she was ready to step in if the dibbun became to boisterous as dibbuns sometimes will.

Catori smiled back and watched the little otter fondly as he sat on the bed. The little otter's tiny tail wagged happily as he smiled up at Laney brightly. Me names is Juan. Whats is yours names? He crawled closer to her and curled up contently, looking up at her wide bright, wide eyes.

"It's nice to meet you Juan. My name is Laney and this is my husband Catori. We're staying here at they Abbey while we're waiting for our own little kitt to be born." Laney stroked the little one's ears and held him close. "Does your family live here Juan?"

Juan placed a tiny paw on Laney's stomach gently as his ears drooped sadly. Mes don'ts gots parentses... Theys boths bes deaded. Thats is whys mes lives heres. Mamma Lois founded me and broughted me heres. Catori looked at the tiny otter sympathetically. I'm sorry to hear that, mate.

"Mamma Lois?" Laney looked up curiously at Elthia, still stroking Juan's ears wishing to comfort him and sorry that she hadn't been more considerate in her line of questions.
"Lois is our Badgermum." Elthia explained, "It's kind of a tradition in the Abbey to have a female badger who watches over our dibbuns who don't have families of their own. I believe you met her. Didn't she open the gate for you when you came in?"
"Yes, I believe she did." Laney answered, remembering now that Elthia said it.

"Oh seasons," Laney used the same swear that Elthia had used earlier, not knowing exactly what to say. She was flattered by his request but it was a huge thing to ask. Having a newborn was going to be enough of a change to their lives adding a young dibbun to that also would positively turn things upside-down. Laney looked to Catori and Elthia to help her answer the question.

Catori nuzzled her cheek and whispered quietly, We could if you wanted to, Love. I wouldn't mind at all, and I'd be more than willing to help you out whenever needed.

"I don't know. I just. . . I . . ." Laney stammered.
Elthia noticed that she was beginning to get upset and decided to step in. "Juan, why don't you come out here with me and you can bandage up some pillows for me." She lifted the little otter off the bed and took him out to main infirmary room.
Laney looked up at Catori frowning. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. It was just the idea of two at once. I don't know if I'm ready for that."
((I kind of think it would be cuter for Elthia and Skip to adopt him))

Catori kissed her forehead softly and nuzzled her cheek. It's alright, Love. I understand. He held her close to him in an attempt to comfort her as he rubbed her back gently. The tiny otter looked up at Elthia curiously. Whys ares wes bandadging pillowses? Dids theys gets hurteds? [OOC: I was kinda thinking that my be a second option myself. Should we do that then?]

"Well not really," Elthia laughed at the little kit and ruffled his ears. "But how would you feel if you had to lay beneath somebeast's head all night, especially a hedgehog?" She could understand Laney's reluctance to have two little one's at once but Juan was so sweet. He did deserve to have somecreature to care for him. She set him on one of the beds with a roll of gauze bandage and let him have at it.

Juan picked the pillow up and started wrapping the gauze banadaging around the pillow until it was totally covered in the gauze. He giggled happily and held it up to her proudly. Mes has fixeded its. It not pokeded no mores.
