"No need to mention it, Ahna. Like I said before, this is my responsibility as much as yours." Fendros said with a smile, "Now come on, big kitten, let's find a seat. Meesei shouldn't be too much longer. In the meantime," he turned his head sideways to her curiously, "How has your drawing been? I haven't seen inside your book for a while."

Fendros would ask Meesei later if there was even a chance they might find a place to learn how to deliver a child, but otherwise they would make do with what they had. Having the birth take place in Black Marsh was something Fendros wasn't sure about as a probability, however. With the frequent stops they were making, he suspected that eventually they would have to remain stationary for a period of time before the birth. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem.

For now though, they could only wait until Meesei was done with the village leaders. Lorag and Janius eventually came back with some replenished supplies that they passed around. Thankfully the merchants were fair despite lacking outward trust. What they bought would serve them at least to the next settlement.
