oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Darvalo stood along the path up to the Shamudoi cave, wanting to get back to see his Promised to make sure she was okay. After Shamud shooed him out of the lodge, saying that it was only appropriate for women to be present at a birth, he couldn't stand to just be outside the lodge, unable to do anything. If he couldn't help, he decided that he had to get some fresh air. But he wished that he could do something for her … then his eyes were drawn to a patch of gillyflowers on the side of the road, and he was reminded of the time Ayla had picked some for Roshario
Women like pretty, nice smelling things … well, here was something he could do … he reached down and picked some of the flowers and returned to the lodge to see Shamud beckoning him inside. In the dim light, he could see his Promised, holding her baby.
"A daughter … can you believe it, Darvalo? A daughter …"
