Two more. There were two more kids by the end of it all, and one of them didn't seem to be squirming like the others. Arrow gently nudged the tiny mass of dark fur, breath hitched in her throat for the first time. She looked away, attempting to grab Ko'nari by the tiny scruff and also place her beside Elsweyr. At the very least, while smaller than the other two, this cub had spunk, a survivor if Arrow had ever seen one. It gave her a brief flash of hope, one that was quickly dashed once it settled in how badly Els was doing, getting worse as the minutes passed. Even the Luminary's words caused her a great deal of pain, Arrow wasn't exactly knowledgeable in the realm of childbirth, she never had to be, but even she knew that it usually hurt, did it not? It hurt, it was a big deal and it didn't bleed this much.
Her breathing was reduced to strenuous, pained exhales, like she was trying not to cry from the stress at hand. If she had one job, it was to keep her head up where Elsweyr could not. Arrow glanced down at the squirming children, who she was trying to shelter from the heat, chewing aggressively on the inside of her cheek. The cheetah nodded in response to the lioness's question, keeping an eye on the squirming little babies as if she was trying to not focus on the weak body of their mother. [b]"They're very beautiful, doll." She murmured quietly, but loud enough so that Elsweyr could still hear. And she meant it. She truly meant it. Colere's instructions were lost on her, she refused to move in the dark assumption that if she came back there would be nothing left in the fiery body to come back to, and besides, she didn't think this was one of those times where a stick would be needed.
