Ashe
The second Ashe received word, she was bursting from her house with her heart in her throat. Percy, thank every god, had felt her sudden spike in urgency and met her outside the door, bouncing on his front hooves and nickering low as he encouraged his rider upon his back. She was breathless as he took off at a dead gallop for the woodlands, needing no command to know exactly where they needed to go, their bond singing with the intensity of all that crashed into Ashe. Vervain had her baby - a boy. A boy. She had a baby brother.
The ride passed in a blur with the black-and-white smudged stallion's breakneck speed, Ashe hanging on and leaning closely over him until they broke into the clearing of her mother's home. Percy didn't even come to a full stop before the assassin expertly swung herself down. He trot after her as she ran for the porch, and he let out a sharp snort of irritation as she disappeared into the house without pausing.
Ashe barely stopped herself against the doorframe to where her mother was, her heart thundering, her eyes wide and searching --
"Mom?" she huffed, every nerve alive with.. gods, was it excitement? Anxiousness? Both?
