The way that Ty explained it to her, it actually did make Nabi feel a little better about the idea of having children. Still, she was nervous about it. But she supposed that was only natural. Even if her sister never seemed to be nervous at all about it. "I guess maybe you're right," she admitted. "Maybe it won't be so bad after all." Then when he said he should look at her feet, she nodded and said, "Oh, okay. Sure." She sat down so that he could get a look at them easier.

Nabi thought for a moment and then shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Anything that you think we should do first?" Then when he brought up loot, she said, "That's fine with me. I don't care much about loot, I just want to go on the raid for some excitement. I really want to have one good adventure that the other females don't have before I, you know, do my duty . . ." She trailed off and looked down at her feet, blushing again.
Gabi smiled at him. "Good, I'm glad to hear that. It will be nice to have you for company." With that said, she went to the wall and grabbed the shovel and then left the hut, again walking with a distinct waddle with one hand on her hip as she made her way through the village and back towards her home.

"Okay," Nabi said, trying to keep the nervousness in her voice hidden. She didn't want him to know that she was worried now. She wanted to retain the illusion that she was filled with nothing but excitement and no second thoughts. She worried that if he knew otherwise, he might change his mind about allowing her to accompany him. When they arrived at his hut, she accepted the knife from him and then went over to the tree to do a few quick practice stabs as she was instructed to. She was starting to feel better already now that she at least had a weapon to defend herself with.
"I appreciate that," Gabi said. "At least one of us twin sisters is mature, huh?" She laughed softly. As much as it was refreshing for her to be here with him, she really should be returning to her hut to finish with her work for the day. There was still plenty that needed to be done. "I do have to be going," Gabi told him as she stood up and planted her hands on her hips. "But when you're finished with your work, you should come back to my hut and I'll make you something to eat to repay you for the shovel. If you want anyway."

Gabi smiled while she leaned forward and rested her chin in her palms and watched him work. "I hope you're right about that. And I'm sorry that you don't get to talk to anyone very often. I'll try to make sure that I make the time to visit more often. After all, I'll have another reason to now that my sister will be here often."
"Yeah, I know the reason that females don't go often," Nabi said. The mention of the Rockbiters not being as merciful to their prisoners made her stomach twist into a knot. "W-what do you mean? What will they do to me if they capture me?" she asked, not sure if she really even wanted to know the answer to the question.

"Thanks," Nabi said with a grin as she continued her stretches. "So . . . what now? Do we gather up the other warriors for the raid? Sorry if I'm annoying you by the way." She shuffled her feet and linked her hands behind her back. "I don't mean to. I'm just excited, you know? I mean, most females don't get a chance to do anything like this."

Nabi nodded when Ty said that he would leave the rabbit head atop the alter. She stayed back a few paces and waited for him to finish his prayer. As she was waiting, she made sure to flex her fingers and her toes in preparation for the climbing and other nimble things she might have to do during the raid.
Gabi shrugged. "Yes, I suppose that's true. Still, at her age she should be thinking about other things . . . not acting like a goblin half her age. Still, I'm actually a little relieved that you offered her a chance to be your apprentice. If she isn't willing to do farming, at least she get some work done by helping you out. Although I still think that the sooner she starts breeding like she's supposed to the better." It was nice to talk to Olric, since she didn't often get to talk to anyone but Nabi when she wasn't busy farming or tending to the animals.

Hearing about all of the potential danger that could take place on the raid probably should have made Nabi nervous, but it actually only made her more excited to be going. She wondered if she would get into a fight herself, and how she would fair if it ended up happening. She wanted to believe that she would do okay, but obviously it wasn't a good idea to be too overconfident when she had never even held a weapon of any kind before. Her cheeks flushed when Ty mentioned that the tribe was relying on her to help repopulate. She always knew that one day she would end up having younglings of her own, but it still made her uncomfortable to think about. She tried to picture herself with a big belly filled with younglings or holding a couple in her arms while nursing them and it made her stomach tighten.
Gabi groaned when she heard that Nabi had gone off with Ty. She should have known better than to trust Nabi to do even this one simple task. She sat down on a basket in the corner of the hut. "I don't get why she has to act that way," she said to Olric. "Why can't she behave herself like females are supposed to. Always trying to do things that she shouldn't be. And sure, I don't mind talking at all," she said to him with a smile.

"Okay, I can do that," Nabi said with a nod, listening intently to everything that he said to her. She wanted to make sure that she did a good job and not just end up being a burden on Ty and the other warriors in the raiding party. "Um, so how dangerous do you think this will be?" She wasn't having second thoughts, she was just genuinely curious about what she could expect on the raid since she had never done anything like it before in her young life.

Nabi shook her head as she walked beside him. "No, not really. I've never been in a fight before . . . unless of course you count play-fighting with my brothers and sisters when I was still youngling."
With a slight waddle to her walk, Gabi entered the blacksmith's hut. Although it wasn't completely obvious yet to everyone that saw her, Gabi had recently discovered that she was pregnant with her first litter, and was just starting to round in the middle. She saw Olric working on a sword. "Hello, Olric," she greeted him. "I was wondering if you've seen my sister. She was supposed to have brought a shovel by for you to mend for us."

Nabi was so excited that she had a hard time remaining still. Her mind was abuzz with activity. What would the raid be like? Would she have a chance to actually fight? She knew that Ty would prefer that she stay out of harm's way, but that didn't mean that she couldn't at least think about it. "Alright," she said to him. "I'll go with you to the temple then. Is that alright?"
