Eiyuu Kishi Den

Amara eyes watered a bit as she watch and listen to Mia. The girl didn't know what to think up to this point. Was it just a normal joke or was it serious? The girl step back a bit and watch her stomach nodded slowly to the elf's question. "Yes," she started, letting her mind controll what she said, "and I am sure he has many. Maybe he relized that I was pregnant and quickly left because of this child that is growing inside of me," the girl said then sigh. "I know I shouldn't have left, I know I should have just stayed there and accept my punishment," the girl wiped away some of the tears that had stream down her face, but more kept coming like a waterfall.

Amara quiet down for a while then finally looked up at Azala trying to keep a smile on her face. "Forgive me, sir. I did not mean to become so umm... Well, Yes, I am carring his child and since he is your son, I see why I mistake you, just for a moment, to be him," she said with a small smile. The girl touch her stomach and started to rub it.

Mia gave a sigh, and the elven mercenary became more serious. "Look honey," she said, putting her hands on Amara's shoulders. "I don't think this boy is the person you think he is, and maybe he has left a path of quarter-elf kids in his wake, but you need to confront him and make him see the consequences of his actions. This behaviour can't be allowed to continue. The last thing the world needs is more broken families, so someone has to make Nat face reality," Mia explained. This was exactly what she felt when it came to Azala too. She liked use it as fodder for jokes, but the situation had become too serious with knowledge of Seri's pregnancy. Maybe Azala was on the verge of learning something about self-control as well... At least, she could only hope.

The white haired dark elf moved over to Mia and Azala, but kept out of the conversation unless he was dragged into it. He kept his eyes out to see if he could see Bella amongst the crowd or whether she was still upstairs packing.

Bella overheard the conversation between Azala, Mia and the two girls and shook her head. It was obvious that Lien was listening in too, as the high elf's long ears were tipped forward and she wore an expression of disappointment. Hearing someone else come downstairs, Bella looked behind her seat to see Midau. The grassrunner waved him over, though hopefully he wouldn't be too uncomfortable with Lien at the same table.

Amara nodded to Mia as she spoke. The elf was right, but Amara was just to soft. She sighed softly and looked down, staring at her stomach as she went into deep thought. The girl sighed once more then looked back up at the two, well three elves. "Oh, there is another one," She said smiling sweetfully. "Thank you so much Miss. I guess I will try my best to talk to him when I see," the girl said as she looked at Thalia and back at the three. "Forgive me for messing up your morning or afternoon," She said bowing slightly to them.

The elven mercenary waved dismissively. "Don't worry about it, our morning was already ruined last night," Mia said with a chuckle. "Now, we last saw Nat at the Tiger Lilly Inn in Shinning Hill. Can't say if he's still there, but he shouldn't be too far from Shinning Hill."

"Shinning.... Hill," Amara looked down at the floor and stared at it. "Why is he in Shinning Hill? Isn't he suppose to be with his ill mother?" The girl asked as she looked up at Thalia and then at the three elves.

"Hmph," Azala scoffed. "His mother is well, from what he told me," he explained. Obviously, Nat had to be running from something; either he knew the girl was pregnant, or she pushed for a commitment. Another grandkid, Azala mused, shaking his head.

Midau wormed his way over to the table with Lien and Bella and took his seat. He didn't want to push the discomfort that he forced upon Lien last night, and the day was relatively good thus far. It seemed that Azala's young had propagated and landed him in the same heat his father was in. Midau couldn't help but see the irony of the situation, and while amused by it, he kept a stoic face. "Slept well?" he asked generally to the two women at the table.

Amara looked back to the floor as tears came to her eyes. The girl nodded slowly to Azala and said softly, "Thank you." Amara bowed to them and walked over to the counter. "Umm," the girl said and looked up at the innkeeper before continueing, "May I order bread and cheese with a slice of ham in it?" She asked softly.

The innkeeper, who had been privy to the entire conversation, took pity on the young mother. "Sure thing miss, it's on the house," he said, sympathetically, then looked up at Thalia. "Would you like the same, priestess?"

The priestess shrugged slightly and nodded. "I suppose so," she replied.

As the innkeeper headed back into the kitchen to speak to the cooks, Thalia gently put her hand on Amara and led her over to a table near the door. "Are you alright?" she asked softly.

Amara followed Thalia over to the table and sat down on one of the chairs. "Yeah, I'm okay... I guess. I mean... I can't believe he would... Umm... why would hee do that to me?" The girl looked down at the table, tears slowly dropping from her face as she tried to relax all the thoughts running through her head. The girl wipe her tears away and looked at the priestess. "Umm... Thalia," the girl started as she tried to smile, "my stomach is starting to hurt agian, real badly. Can you please do one of prayers for me?" The girl asked the priestess.

"Good," Bella replied to Midau with a smile. She was trying to cheer him up more than anything.

"Fine," Lien replied absently. In actuality, the high elf hadn't been sleeping well in human accomodations. She soldiered through though, her thoughts were with Seri's child, not herself. She had been distracted though by the young woman who was apparently pregnant with Azala's grandchild. Like father, like son, she thought.

Mia and Azala joined them at the table, and the entire group of elves (and grassrunner) was quite somber. Lien was focusing on the young woman though, her ears tipped forward, straining to hear the conversation across the room. She overheard Amara complain of pain, and it seemed that she had something to do here. "Please, excuse me for a moment," Lien said, then suddenly stood.

The high elf crossed the common room and approached the priestess and mage. "Pardon me," she said to Amara, and reached slightly toward her stomach. "May I?"

Amara stared at the high elf for a few seconds and finally nod. "Of course," the girl said as a small smile came on her face.

Lien knelt down beside Amara and laid her hands upon the girl's belly, feeling it with firm hands. There was a tightness, but it soon subsided. "It is false labor contractions," she said. "It means your womb is preparing for birth, nothing more. They can be somewhat painful for some women, though others only find it as little more than an annoyance. I do not think it would be necessary for your friend to heal it, they will only continue to come and go. Instead, you should drink plenty of water and stretch a bit," the high elf explained, then drew back and rose to her feet again. "Have you been seeing a midwife?" she asked Amara.

Amara watch the high elf as the pain slowly drifted away. "Thank you," the girl said with a happy smile, her facial expression much more happier than before. "No, I have not seen a midwife from since I started my pregnancy. I have been trying to hide all of this from my family, but, as soon as I reach home, I will have to tell them," the girl sigh softly, but kept her smile on her face as she watch the high elf.
