Sister Bride of Aubree [@Ellion] and Bride of Kagan [@ghastlyInc]
Interacting with Bree, Twenty, and the Guard[/center]

She followed dutifully, as was expected of her.  The pups with them.  Bree beside her.  She was beginning to feel like a servant which she did not enjoy.  Adora had either been the master of her own fate or the master of other’s.  To be standing here at the whim of another person annoyed her.  Perhaps the reality of her situation was beginning to hit her.  She was letting herself feel again, letting herself begin to build the blocks of her life here.  None the less, she quickened her pace behind the long-legged lords.  Then, abruptly, expected to stay put which made her grind her teeth.

The doors opened, and the smell of death wafted out.  They tried to hide it.  The thickness and sickly smell of the incense told her as much.  But there was no mistaking the smell of a body that was rotting away.  She could remember times when she had visited families who had tried their best to prolong the life of an elder who was ready to leave this plane and return to Vivari.  In those times when she had smelled the death upon entering the home and seeing the bodies ready to fall apart with bed sores, she had felt the family’s pain.  And when she told them it was long past time to let their family member go it hurt her just as much to see it in their faces.

As the doors shut, she shuddered.  Perhaps she could have been of help.  Perhaps there was something she could do.  But for the smell of rot to overpower the roll of the incense smoke… the being in that room was being treated more than unfairly.  At least, that was what she could only assume.  Perhaps there was more than one slowly dying body in there.  She turned her gaze and her thoughts to the people around her.  Bree, staunch and stalwart.  Twen, grumpy and composed.  The guard, he kept glancing toward Twenty and his eyes would then find a new hold on a torch or corner of the ceiling.  Adora smirked.

Her amusement did not last long as Twenty breathed a curse.  As she doubled forward and the guard helped her, training and knowledge took over her mind as his own left his.  [color=BC79CB][b]“Come, little sister,” [/b][/color]she crooned softly, holding one of the woman’s arms at the elbow.  [color=BC79CB][b]“Sit, please.”[/b][/color]  She helped the woman kindly to rest on the floor.  Better than standing.  “Tell me, Twen, are you painful?”  As she waited for a response she looked up at the hesitant and fretful guard.  [color=BC79CB][b]“Well, do something.  Grab a cup of water.”[/b][/color]  She used the voice reserved for getting anxious men out of the room during birthing.  It was a strong, commanding voice that left little doubt she knew what it was she did.  A man who had no job in the room was useless and a distraction.  [color=BC79CB][b]“Or ask a friend.”[/b][/color]  He was supposed to be guarding Twenty after all.  

As she kneeled beside Twen she placed her hand against the woman’s stomach.  As she did so, Adora began to understand and giggled.  [color=BC79CB][b]“Oh, darling love,” [/b][/color]she said in a calm, kind, and unjudgmental voice.  It was one she used for the first time fretting mothers.  [color=BC79CB][b]“Your bairn is merely moving.  Do not fear.  You will feel this much more in the future.” [/b][/color] She pulled the woman’s hands up and kissed the knuckles in a fervent and joyous way.

It was not much longer before Kagan and Ehkota left the room.  She stayed knelt beside Twenty and as the looks of concern came forward she smiled.  [color=BC79CB][b]“The babe merely moved.  A good, strong sign,”[/b][/color] she told both of them before standing.  She looked around and saw her sister was no longer there.  [color=BC79CB][b]“Where is Bree?”[/b][/color] she asked in a deadly quiet tone.  She had barely looked away.  Where could that girl have gotten to?
