He got up and went over to where Dorg was standing rather than asking the man to come to him so that they could talk in private; whatever it was couldn't be...
Vara looked over at Eba in surprise when Agra got up and stomped off spouting confused yet aggravated words. Humor filled her eyes and she shrugged helplessly....
... "Stop!" Dikna said. That was a spoken word and she said it with authority. "You are both children and you will both improve your behavior immediately....
Eba had stared after Agra in shock after the old woman had gotten up and moved off in a quick fashion. After such a strange spell, seeing the seemingly frail...
She headed toward the first hearth. ... Vara followed quickly right behind Eba. The child she was carrying felt so heavy that she was huffing and puffing when...
"Ah, but she has 'expressed her appreciation' for the gift, Grol." Grog used his name almost as it was a title of respect. Continuing Grog said, "Is she not...
The words spoken by the stranger were totally unexpected for Grol. His own clan respected him, certainly, but this person was treating him almost with...
Deeka sort of froze, looking at her feet. She wasn't usually a ill- behaved girl, she was just so wound-up over the excitement of the visitor. Somehow, he was...
After sitting her mother down so that the old woman could come to terms with her own thoughts, Gada wasn't sure quite what to do; she kept glancing over her...
The two faces of the Leader and the mog-ur, so alike by genetics but altered by character and life's experiences, each changed at seeing and hearing Dorg's...
Eba followed Vara to sit at Kora's side, patting the laboring woman gently and somewhat affectionately on the shoulder. It was hard for Eba to witness such...
Dikna's expression softened. She had always had such a sweet and gentle personality that when she had first become a mother it had been difficult for her to be...
Vara sat down beside Kora and took one of the woman's limp hands. When it was time for the Medicine Woman to bear down she would need someone to hold onto....
Suba flicked her eyes to Dorg before she answered her mate and Leader. She wanted him to know how much sympathy she had for him, even though he may or may not...
At first Kora protested, not wanting to make a scene, but the severity of the situation and exhaustion finally let her be coaxed towards the first hearth and...
Vara nodded and patted Kora's hand gently, a poignantly wry look in her eyes. "Yes, Kora," she signed even though she doubted the woman saw her motions....
There were so many bodies in the First Hearth it was difficult to move around. Drov took his twin brother by the shoulder and half- lead half-pushed him out...
Roba had tried her hardest to ignore what was going on in the first hearth despite the foul stench of Death that clung to the smoke of the innumerable cave...
Suba watched all that the brother of her mate, the Mog-ur, had to tell her, then she bowed her head in acknowledgement and grief. Kora was going to die. If...
Dorg nodded and looked at his mate. He spoke her name word firmly, but with much affection. When he thought she might be focusing on him, he began to sign. "I...
From where she had been waiting patiently by Agra, Aza suddenly sprung into action. She went to Roba and said, "I have hot water on in my hearth and I have set...
Eba watched the anxious bustling about Kora and stood to back away. There was tension in the air, and from the few snippets of signalings she caught from those...
Roba nodded, "The hot water and the hides first, I will get her cleaned up while you look for the receiving blanket. When you go to Kora's hearth look for the...
Aza nodded to Roba and went quickly to her hearth. She scooped up the several rabbit and squirrel skins that would be needed to keep Kora and the baby clean....
Roba set about cleaning Kora while Aza looked for the receiving blanket and the leather thongs. Kora, a daughter of the old line of medicine women, was almost ...
Aza cast her eyes down for a moment. She didn't want to complete Roba's sentence, even in her own mind. Since it seemed as though they were going to have some...
Roba sipped at the tea, savouring the sweetness of the honey, "I think it would do him some good. Bring a cup for Kora as well; it won't hurt to keep her...
Nodding, Aza poured a cup for Dorg and took it over to him. She wondered if she should set it in front of him and leave like she would any other man. But she...
OOC) Hopefully this will get some people posting again :) First Rooka tried black haw to stop the labour but black haw but it proved ineffective.When it was...
