Bela was having a hell of a time keeping her sisters from tearing out into the snowstorm. They had been worried when their mother could not be found in what felt the entirety of the castle.
Then Frederika had found them and informed them that Mother had gone into labour and the third Nymph had told her that Mother had been on the move outside, temperature having dropped sharply at one point.
"Mom will never forgive us if we end up dying in the snow." It did not help her case that she too wanted to rush outside to find their parent. Probably the only reason neither of the others had swarmed off yet was the tagteam of their two Nymph-sisters that had turned the entrance-hall into an amber fortress, the thick essence of the humanoid Nymph still unbreakable to them.
"She's alone out there somewhere!" Cassandra snarled. "And we both know Nymphs don't come gentle!"
Ereina was oozing along the edges of the box, by now clearly intending to remain a slug for most of the time, though at times she still turned into a small baby girl for cuddling-times. Bela saw her flinch from the corner of her eye at the statement of the middle triplet. She knew Cassandra had not meant it as a slight against the younger Nymph, but it was still a painful statement.
"Mother not alone." Frederika was probably the calmest of them, sitting on a vaguely chairlike elevation she had formed herself against where they could just make out the frontdoor through the amber wall. "Third hears voices."
"Mother Miranda did tell us she was going to search for her, remember?" Bela pointed out, looking up at the sound of chipping. "Daniela, get back down here! You are not getting through it!" Not unless Frederika let her, which she hoped the older Nymph would not. "I am sure she's with her already."
"Oh, and what is she going to do? Sit and watch!?" The dark-haired triplet snarled angrily.
"What else can you do!?" The blonde countered sharply. "We can also just sit there and watch! The only ones who could do something are Eri and Rika! And even they can only deliver a running commentary of our youngest sibling's thoughprocess as it happens!"
There was always some friction between them, something that was always exacerbated whenever a situation turned genuinely stressfull. Being trapped in the castle while their mother was going a traumatic birth was a good deal more than just stressfull.
"Third says almost done." The red-haired Nymph spoke up evenly. "Says soon out."
"See?" Bela in the end just swarmed up to wrestle her younger sister down to solid ground. Daniela whined, but obediently sunk to the tiled floor. "At most, Mother will be hungry once her healing catches up."
Cassandra opened her mouth to argue, but the words got caught in her throat when she noticed the door opening. Because of the thickness of the amber, they could only see a vague shape, though all five noted it was far too small to be their mother.
Frederika hopped down, pulling apart her creation like it was a curtain, allowing their uncle to slip in.
"Do I want to know?" He shook off the snow while pointing around them.
"No." Alcina Dimitrescu's oldest daughter answered flatly. "Did you come from mother?"
"As a matter of fact, yes." Karl answered her, taking off his hat to shake off the snow from that as well. "I got send to get her a change of clothes. It's a bit of a mess and she forgot them."
"I'll get some." She swarmed, trusting that her sisters would not try to commit a frozen suicide with their uncle right there.
