THE SEASONHORSE MIDWIFE ; Eltrut

[When Ashi has read the request she had decided to give it a shot because she wanted to help. That wasn't exactly a bad reason to help but now that she's here she's sort of ... stuck. Or was anyhow.

Then one of the expectant fathers swims right on up to her and outright nudges the bag of sweet and sour giant shrimps that had been thrust into her hand when she had first arrives. She looks momentarily surprised but then her expression softens quickly.]

Oh, you want these, right? Here.

[Ashi fishes one of the giant shrimp out and once the seahorse starts devouring it her smile brightens.]

I guess I would be hungry too in your condition.

SMASHING PUMPKINS; Nogard

[Amusing enough Ashi was nowhere in sight for actually breaking the pumpkins. She only seems to appear to help clean them up. And boy is she a help ... in a good way and a very nimble one?

The pumpkins have gotten everywhere, particularly on the roofs of buildings. Once Ashi is given a pushbroom to start raking the bigger chunks down someone starts to offer her a ladder. Unfortunately Ashi doesn't stick around to hear the offer -- instead she simply slings the broom over her shoulder and jumps up onto the highest windowsill edge she can reach.

From there she hops from sill to sill until she runs out and then she snatches hold of the roof edge and simply pulls herself up, broom and all.

Once up she peeks her head over the edge to innocently ask:]

Is there anything else I should do up here while I'm here?

FOWL LANGUAGE; Elah

[She's not even snuck into the Conversatory yet before she turns to ask whoever is with her in the moment:]

What exactly are 'choice swear words'?

WILDCARD

[I'm open to any of the bounties so feel free to toss any of those my way. Ashi is an excellent fighter and will be more than happy to help!

Feel free to hit me up on Plurk (goodluckstarfighter), Discord (goodluckstarfighter) or through PMs for any plotting.]

Do you think this is the best time to be eating?

[ Yes, Dion just asked a seahorse that question like it's going to answer him even if it won't.

He sighs and his hand hovers. The seahorse balks at his gauntlets. Dion sighs again, deeper and removes them so he can touch their belly. ]

I'll admit I don't know much about child bearing.

I certainly don't.

[There's a good bit of amusement in Ashi's tone. The only birth she'd ever been to was ... well, her own. She reaches to strokes the seahorse's head gently, expression soft.]

I'd imagine it's like going through any other painful event though. You just want comfort and reassurance it will be alright in the end.

[ He's never done this - he likely would never do it either, considering. It's just as well, he wouldn't know what to do with a child anyway. ]

Is that all? I suppose I can attempt that.

[ Gently rubbing the seahorse, there, does that help? ]

[Oh it definitely helps! So much so the expectant father-to-be just leans right on into Dion. It's enough to make Ashi 'aww' out loud.

She has the grace to blush a little after.]

Sorry. It's sweet though. I don't think I've ever relaxed as well as this seahorse is leaning against you.

[She offers up another shrimp that said seahorse gleefully sucks down.]

I cannot say I've done the same. [ Dion agrees...does he look like the type of person who relaxes often? Not so much. But the seahorse seems happy and he continues the gentle massage while she feeds him. ]

I don't suppose this is a short incubation? [ This won't take hours and hours...right? ]
